Girls Who Code is set to expand its
female-oriented tech education program to Detroit, Miami and San Jose thanks to
$435,000 in funding from Knight Foundation, the non-profit
organization announced today.
As you may have guessed from its name,
Girls Who Code’s ambition is to empower young women to pursue careers in tech
and engineering, contributing to closing the gender gap in this job-generating
sector. Knight Foundation is supporting this goal as part of its Tech for
Engagement Initiative

"Microsoft upped its security ante with Address Space
Layout Randomization
(ASLR) in Windows 7 and Windows 8 but,
it seems that this mechanism to
preventing hackers from
jumping to a known memory location can be bypassed as a
hacker has released a brilliant yet simple trick to circumvent
the protection."

We've made comments in the past about some of the pithy and unconventional
judgements made by Lord Denning when he was Master of the Rolls. It looks
like he has a rival - Lord Dyson the current holder of that office. In
particular the remark about extracting digits recorded about half way through this BBC report. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The reason that no director of Lehman Brothers has been brought to
book would appear to be that US financial regulator the Securities &
Exchange Commission, which had a dedicated team inside Lehmans’ headquarters at
745 Seventh Avenue prior to the uber-leveraged bank’s collapse, knew all this
chicanery was going on, and must therefore have given it the nod at the
time.
The SEC may therefore be complicit in the alleged crime and no less
guilty than Lehman.

takes down US Sentencing Commission
website
Hacking collective threatens to
make public classified
material and that when Aaron Swartz killed himself 'a
line
was crossed'
The website of the commission, an independent agency
of
the judicial branch involved in sentencing, was replaced
with a message
warning that when Swartz killed himself two
weeks ago "a line was crossed." In
a message posted on the
website and in an accompanying YouTube video, the
hackers
said they had infiltrated several government computer
systems and
copied secret information they threatened to
make
public.
Wow - what a video! I loved it. Does that make me a
criminal? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

From the BBC News: On Thursday, about $50bn was wiped off Apple's value after
the biggest daily drop in the firm's stock in four years.
50 Billion? Makes 'winning' $1bn off of Samsung seem very small fry indeed by
comparison.

Dear Micrsoft,
I'd like to start off saying i ( a user ) have been using
windows xp for some time and because of all the issues that
came from vista and then to start with windows 7 ( NOW fixed
)
i decided this year finally to do an upgrade ( for you nicx
users i have used or use some form of linux as well so relax
i go back to red hat 3 ).
I wanted a pc that with some of the free tools i can use
like bryce 7.1 carrera and others ....to get into some 3d
stuff yes that also includes blender...
I came into a nice chunk of cash and grabbed up autdesk
3dsmax with all its bells and whistles.
I got a not extreme high end pc but one that could play any
game out there and came with 8GB ram i then upgraded it to
16 and will have to go as high as 64 gb to do this stuff.
NOW i would never and will never buy an os that looks like a
dumb cell phone ....for that i also bought unity and it will
make my apps and games for mac , pc , all cell phone makers.
In other words you need to relaize that the developers dont
want your os but hey we'll make the stuff for it LOL. SEE
what i am saying...if you got a brain and want an operating
system that YOU can do stuff with and what not win8 just
doesn't even look like what you want.
windows users are the lower order of brains and when you go
and remvoe major features on them they panic and will jsut
stay where they are.
THE claims that start menu won't come back are funny. it has
too or they are done for...
what win 8 shows me is that ms are out of ideas and are now
lazy. Instead fo making a phone os and a desktop one they
are really trying to push the phone cause in that area they
can control you better.
This is also why steam is moving to linux.
that is not gonna go well for micrsoft nor nvidia nor
autodesk when all the games coming out require linux.
what ive seen a game consoles totally unimpressed me.
they always have when your televisions up till recently were
awful compared to computer resolutions and when you plugge
din a tv BOY stuff looked wicked.
NOW add the fact for on the cheap we can get daz character
model software and some other stuff soon the indies will be
doing a lot more tv animation and as this improves soon no
one will be using real actors( BET thats got some heads
spinning exorcist wise )Musicans also wrongly think they are
not replaceable as software continues to improve at music
making and there are enough neighbors around you to do sound
bits on the cheap. BEER WORKS....
THIS copyright you signed with the mpaa to create is and
will now slowly start to unfold as we the people say hey we
don't need you still and instead of downloading it i'll
create it and share it freely with a donate button.
who cares about money i don't. THEY DO. and they are years
too late. NOTE to apple what now ....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

My Plan to Fix The World's Biggest Problems
From the
fight against polio to fixing education, what's missing is often good
measurement and a commitment to follow the data. We can do better. We have the
tools at hand.
We can learn a lot about improving the 21st-century world
from an icon of the industrial era: the steam engine.
Harnessing steam power
required many innovations, as William Rosen chronicles in the book "The Most
Powerful Idea in the World." Among the most important were a new way to measure
the energy output of engines and a micrometer dubbed the "Lord Chancellor" that
could gauge tiny distances.
Such measuring tools, Mr. Rosen writes, allowed
inventors to see if their incremental design changes led to the
improvements—such as higher power and less coal consumption—needed to build
better engines. There's a larger lesson here: Without feedback from precise
measurement, Mr. Rosen writes, invention is "doomed to be rare and erratic."
With it, invention becomes "commonplace".
