You get a lawsuit! And you get a lawsuit! And you! Now Apple sued over CPU security flaws

wishful thinking

All those defenses of 'embargoes' and 'responsible disclosure' make me

quite ill. And it's simple to explain why: it's self-deception, wishful

thinking. To begin w/, how do we even know that at least *some* crackers

didn't already figure this out in 1995, when the bugs were allegedly

introduced?

It's IMO better to be aware of the dangers, even if, at the time, we

can't do a fsck about them. Instead of going along with this

'responsible disclosure' poop that is essentially just a PR exercise

to cover up for corporate (and communal) failings. Ugh.

No humans allowed: How would a machine-centric data centre look?

What's a device?

What's a 'device' anyway? A transistor? An IC? A board? A blade? Ad

nauseam?

And honestly, if they're 'talking so much with each other' (go go el reg

baby talk!), are they still seperate devices?

I understand that this consideration might undermine the apparent premise

of the story, but sheesh el reg, you should know better.

Should.

FU: creeping featurism

Oops, ,s/Trollface/Facepalm/.

creeping featurism

The only, shared, design flaw in 822 and SMTP is, IMO, the rather vague

distinction between headers and envelope. Fixable by including the

envelope as a distinct part of the message.

The rest is window dressing. And creature feep.
