The full article is worth the read, but here are two choice quotes: I remember telling David Filo in late 1998 or early 1999 that Yahoo should buy Google, because I and most of the other programmers in the company were using it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While a VMware product that integrates with VMsafe can strictly be a “slow path” implementation, it is highly unlikely that any product can be considered solely a “fast path” implementation. Any fast path product is most likely going to be a hybrid. It is just a matter of how much code exists in the “fast path” space versus the “slow path” space. When a product claims fast path support, you need to dig a bit deeper to analyze the implementation in order to identify any real performance benefits.]]></description>

When you pay your credit card or mortgage, there are laws in place to (try) keep the creditors from gouging you. For example if you make a credit card payment, the creditor has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been saying for years that anti-virus is no longer effective and that a good security posture needs to include application white listing. Here&#8217;s a cool quote from George Kurtz, chief technology officer for McAfee: &#8220;You can&#8217;t just rely on antivirus software &#8211; and we&#8217;re an antivirus company. And firewalls alone don&#8217;t provide adequate protection,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had the above question asked enough times that I felt it worthy of a blog post. While a few years back the answer may have been “less secure”, today the answer is “both”. I know, sounds like Chris being non-committal, but that answer really does most accurately describe the current state of the technology. [...]]]></description>
