Windows 11 review and insights on privacy exploits.

Today, there is little attention paid to customer service. The luster of customer service is dimmed by poor attitudes and a lack of genuine concern.

In programming code it is possible to theorize about several aspects of code flow and dependency through coding models. One such model is the Actor Model.

By making programming languages less difficult to work with you increase the number of people writing programs and successively increase the number and variety of programs available.

Online banking continues to be an increasing method of choice for conducting business and paying bills. According to a recent Pew report, fifty-one percent of U.S. adults, or 61% of internet users, bank online. Is online banking safe?

Most search engines do an adequate job at sorting out some of these FLUFF sites but they still somehow show up in search results. Maybe what we need in the search engine tools arsenal is a FLUFF filter.

When talking about the Semantic Web there are a few premises one must acknowledge. One premise is that any data exchange on the internet is originally initiated by a human. There is no information retrieval without a request for that information and that request can be directly tied to a human request for the information.

A critical vulnerability in glibc, a core Linux library, can be exploited remotely through PHP applications.

VR (Virtual Reality) is not a new concept and it has seen its share of failures and even long spans of time in virtual limbo. The idea and reality of VR have, for some time, been separated by a chasm of ergonomics, hardware requirements, and consumer acceptance.

Detecting spoofed Ips and geo-targeting. A national infrastructure like this would also expose ISPs and routes that allow non-network IPs to originate from their network.

The black market of hacking programs and routines are born out of a programming community of sharing and cooperation. Additionally, the struggle for internet security is set against mass marketing, mass distribution, and mass code refinement, which grows and spreads through open source creation and manipulation of various programs and scripts.

The news buzz about the latest, large scale, cyber-attack generates more questions than answers. According to the latest reports on the attack at Target, and other retailers, the attack originated from a teenage hacker in Russia.

In an increasingly technical world that depends on well written programs to run multi-million dollar infrastructures and global financial concerns, it is no surprise that programmers are in high demand.

healthcare.gov - Well, it's pretty bad. After several hours of going through the initial registration and validation steps I got to a dead end at the point where I was supposed to be presented with my insurance options and costs.

Cisco report says the number of smartphones, tablets, laptops and internet-capable phones will exceed the number of humans in 2013. One can only imagine the power if an individual or group had control over a portion of those devices.

Justin Carter - published content on the internet can echo forever and those listening may just misunderstand your message.

It may be time for the Government to take more of a role in protecting its citizens, businesses, and institutions, from attacks by cyber-criminals and terrorists.
Sign the petition for the creation of a Department of Defense agency to combat malicious websites, website hacking, and to increase general computer security across the internet. http://wh.gov/lqvr8

In 1993 I was telneting to BBSs using a 14.4 modem. There were all types of BBS connection hubs covering a broad array of subject matter and discussion groups. But 20 years ago today the first Web Site was brought online and we were introduced to browsers and the World Wide Web. To learn more about this time in history visit the first web site project page.

"A video that was sent back by Curiosity on Feb 28, 2013 is being examined because of an anomaly found in the signal by engineers. It seems to be a structured algorithm that is not consistent with video streams we have been analyzing."

Most of the information I'm about to go over is available from a number of sources on the Internet but this article may help anyone navigating the often contradictory information you will encounter in doing research on buying from China.

During my journey I noticed a number of units from China that not only seemed to match my product concept but also offered a significant savings.

"The problem can allow an untrusted Java applet to escalate its privileges, without requiring code signing. Oracle Java 7 update 10 and earlier are affected, US-CERT said.

Have i mentioned that Gimp is an awesome image program? If not, then let me take this opportunity to do so. 

I started using Gimp 7 years ago and I'm still learning new features and ways to use Gimp. Recently, on a project, I was tasked with creating large, enhanced photo images. When I say large, some of these images are 10 megabytes. The significant size was required because the images had to be able to be viewed at almost 3 feet in length and remain sharp and clear.

How a computer works is a 4 part look into how computers work. We can imagine the CPU, Central Processing Unit, as a master Conductor orchestrating a symphony of instruments in a myriad of frequencies that produces a collective energy critically tuned to a specific flow of musical notes.

Buzzwords are great for marketing and brand recognition or to get the masses all-a-buzz with the latest "makes it sound good" phrase but it has no place in defining what a software package can or can't do.

As if programmers didn't have enough to be leery of the new Microsoft openness approach is quite unsettling. Just when we were positive and secure in the belief that MS would be the last kid on the block to share, they create Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.

When troubleshooting code I try to follow a set path in order to quickly isolate the issue. The problem is that I’m just as guilty as others at trying to shortcut the process. One major trap I fall into is the time consuming ‘wandering’ into certain parts of the code and encountering a road block by not staying on the original path. In doing this I often end up chasing problems that are caused by other problems that need to be addressed first. With that being said I have developed a good instinct for finding problem code.

I admit I have considered this same thing. I had even prepared my IP tables and firewalls to cut off all but regional IP traffic. I never implemented it but I was close. In hindsight I realize it was just a knee-jerk response to constant kicks at my server door.

Lately there has been a lot of buzz about 'Do Not Track'. For those that don't know, Do not Track or DNT is a little message your browser tells each website before it starts loading on your computer screen.
