(Apparently 2010 didn't count since the winter Olympics aren't "real" Olympic games: ancient Greece had no curling sheets, and there were problems using Mount Olympus for the downhill events.) http://j.mp/MetVRE It's particularly interesting that so many people are having problems using social networking to watch the "first social media games" ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jul/29/olympics-2012-twitter-bbc-cycling Among other problems ... ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org It is also true that the higher up the [security] scale someone wishes to appear, the higher the incidence of his or her use of words of Norman French and Latin origin. We use terms like `prevent.' What's wrong with `stop'? It's shorter and just as good. - Angus McIlwraith victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
