Approaches to security metrics
There are three approaches to security metrics; qualitative, quantitative, and hybrid. A qualitative approach is one where security is measured on a sliding scale of : SECURE -> INSECURE. Various levels or shades of security (or insecurity) can be determined as a measure of some stated policy. A grid/matrix of values can then be designed in such [...]
Motorola Droid X
At 65.5 x 127.5 x 9.9 mm, this will be the biggest mobile phone form factor I will ever get. I thought the IPone was a monster of a phone, and reluctantly accepted to carry a Treo, and later a Curve. But the Droid X by Motorola is also my most anticipated smart phone. I [...]
Mr. President. When you’re in a hole. Stop digging!
The biggest problem with this president and the presidency is not just the jobs numbers as the pundits will like to make you believe. It is the increasing perception by the coalition thatelected him, that the president is in bed with the same group that screwed the country up. Both on the left, and the [...]
The President and the pile ons
Barack Obama’s ascendancy to the United States Presidency was a cinderella moment in American history. A black looking mulato who hardly knew his father and is married to a great-grand-daughter of slaves won the Presidency with one of the largest electoral margins in history and so much promise at a time when the national mood [...]
The move to 64 bit computing
Since 2003, there has been a concerted move by the computer industry to migrate to 64 bit computing, first with the AMD’s 64 bit general purpose machine, and Microsoft’s 64 bit XP. Most operating system vendors, including Apple began to seriously release 64 bit versions of their software in 2007, and the number has grown, [...]
HTML 5 : A new page is turning…
A new page, in the internet (inter-web as some on the US right will call it) is turning, albeit slowly. Internet 5 standard is finalized, mostly, and the major players are readying their best shots. Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome 6, Safari 5 are all promising to deliver the most profound update to the [...]
A crazy nation ups the ante
There’s been news lately of the political class in Nigeria outdoing themselves again. Most Nigerian Newspapers carried the distressing news of Nigerian politicians planning a jamboree in London – A summit to celebrate Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary in London. It’s like the United States organizing a jamboree in London to celebrate its 250th independence anniversary, or India organizing a jamboree [...]

A conservative ideological flaw

Oct 242008

Dr. Alan Greenspan is known as one of the intellectual oracle of the conservative ideology of little or no regulation on markets and the theory that markets are ultimately the best decider in their ability to self police and self heal. For more than forty years, this scion of the Republican Party preached a now [...]

Even if Ayers matters

Oct 202008

In recent week, out of obvious desperation, Senator John McCain, the Republican candidate for president of the United States, and his increasingly infamous campaign have resorted to the desperate tactic of a loosing camp, hurling everything including the kitchen sink and the entire plumbing at his opponent, the Democratic candidate for same office, Senator Barack [...]

Two candidates, a roast, and lots of laughter(s)!

Oct 172008

Yes, in the spirit of the night, I can and will say laughters! I watched the candidates give their self deprecating roasts at the 63 Alfred E. Smith dinner last night, and I tell you, it was a night like none other over the past several months. The candidates’ sense of humor were on display [...]

McCain's hypocrisy

Oct 112008

John McCain’s hypocrisy knows no bound. When in 2000, George Bush campaign ran a campaign of lies and character assassination that ultimately derailed McCain’s ambition, the the congress veteran quickly lampooned what he called agents of intolerance, carving a special place in hell for them. Early on at the onset of this campaign, he flirted [...]
