Security

Bits of things via the [livejournal.com profile] securitymentor2 feed, which usually deals with computer security.

Watching a video can get you in trouble. No, really. If you have Quicktime for Windows, patch it. Patch Real Player too (or don't use it).

Good news about Internet Explorer.
Bad news about Internet Explorer.

Another kind of security: Checks and Balances.

Voting machine security? Ha. Ha. Ha. As a Marylander who didn't vote absentee, I'll get to play with one of these machines tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

why do they do these things, "improve" the voting machines out of usefulness? i hope they don't have one like that up at the school for me tomorrow. :(

I think the machines are all over Maryland. Am not thrilled by this, though at least they're supposed to be easy to use.

Firefox isn't perfect, though yeah, it's not as unsafe as IE.
