Despite the security industry getting ever more professional, with well trained teams, security incidents seem to be increasing. Just look at the news recently: Sony – 23 incidents so far? UK NHS Laptop – over 8 million patient records Citibank – 200,000 customer records lost WordPress platform vulnerabilities (see Steve Lord’s presentations on this) Stuxnet [...]
@RoryAlsop What happened is that you put it in as a code block as a single line, not as a block quote. So it did show up exactly as described (even on FF4 on Linux), as a single line with lots of scrolling.
The week in May that I spent in Edinburgh was gorgeous. Only got, what I would consider, a proper rain one morning. I still maintain they were the bluest skies I've ever seen.
It's funny, using the weather.com comparison tool, it actually lists Edinburgh as 2F warmer, on average, than here. Something about more compressed high and low ranges.
I had the advantage that my dad used to work in the Antarctic 6 months of the year so would come back with VERY warm clothes, (and really cool sunglasses)
yeah - I've got a great photo of my dad taking a bath on a 40 gallen drum on a glacier in Dronning Maud Land in about -20 but strong sunshine and clear skies. He says that 8 hours later the wind chill was -40 degrees and visibility was about a metre.
the wind we have in central Scotland isn't bad. If it gets up to 80mph it's a bit of a shock, whereas back home it peaks over 180mph and doesn't cause much trouble other than stopping the boats sailing:-)
@Mvy I can confirm that: in Québec, we can get a -30 which is perfectly tolerable if there is no wind (well, at least you can go walk outside for 20 minutes), but -10 with 40 km/h wind is unbearable
How do these browsers compare in terms of browser security? Are there any main differences in terms of how good they are at detecting cross browser scripting, spyware? Would using Firefox with security add-ons be more secure than using Chrome?
Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
From what I can see, there seems to be a legitimate (yet, on some sites, poorly reviewed) anti-malware product called CyberDefender. But, I'm still not sure how he got from Malwarebytes to there.
I'm totally awesome at security, too. Like, I wrote a C program the other day, and it involved some buffers and I made sure that I wasn't putting too much stuff in those buffers!! It was great.

@RoryAlsop Thanks for the newscientist article on bitcoin. I had read it and agree they did a nice job of beginning to apply some interesting tools to the deanonymization problem. Not a surprise to those who had actually looked at the bitcoin web sites rather than relying on clueless press reports or propaganda.

so, would I be correct in seeing it as a form of ABAC, enforced by encryption?
@ThomasPornin the legend on the badges page clearly(-ish) states: These badges are awarded for participating in non community-wiki questions with particular tags. If enough votes are earned in **a tag with 100+ total questions**, the badge will be automatically created and awarded.
@AviD Yes, something like that. You can view this as a tamper-resistant device which grants access to some data only to people who fulfill some characteristics; then, ABE does the same without the device, only keys and a "central authority" which needs not be online (this is where the hairy maths come into play)
