The more I think about it, the more I realize that Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics really need to be adhered to. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given to it by…
Will Chatham is the Security Assessment Engineer for Arbor Networks. Since Netscape 2.0, he has worked in a wide array of environments including non-profit, corporate, small business, and government.

If you live in the USA, did you know that your tax dollars are being used for some really good purposes?
You better believe it. For example, the NSA provides some great guides and tools for securing your operating system, whether your are on a Mac, or running Windows, Linux, or Solaris.

There are many places online and application syou can buy which promise the allure of “building your own web site”, but in this business, you tend to get what you pay for.

The second of my two bands, Garbage Bear, had our debut performance the other night here in Asheville, NC. The awesome folks at the Grey Eagle shot some video and put a couple of clips on YouTube (thanks Jeff!).
The Buncombe County web site is reporting that scammers have been targeting area restaurants, telling them they need to pay $19.95 each for “hand washing” signs which are required to be posted in restrooms. An interesting, if not original scam, probably concocted while someone was using the restroom, saw the…
