Paying for security exploits
Somewhere out on the Internet, there is probably someone waxingindignant right now about how companies generally now have to payrelatively substantial bounties for security exploits in their products.After all, why do the security researchers now demand payment for theirresearch work?
I thin that there are two reasons: the obvious reason and the deeperreason.
The obvious reason is that companies are competing for new securityexploits with the criminal groups exploiting security vulnerabilitiesto do various bad things. Said groups pay well for new vulnerabilities,because there is
今年想去六四遊行
我給學生選讀《百年孤寂》裡，香蕉公司和軍方在廣場屠殺了3000人那段。姑且節選善後手段如下：

寫作百無聊賴的自我解救
幾個月之前，發表了過百萬字小說的K讀了葛亮的小說，驚為天人，像發現新大陸一樣發現這是一位年輕的優秀小說家。可是，K突然又好沮喪，因為看到人家寫得這麼出神入化，自己再寫也似乎好不過這類奇才，何必再花時間

取得全文 Greasemonkey scripts
RSS 放全文還是摘要，討論一直沒有停過。我當然最鼓勵大家用全文，但無可奈何地仍然有得多地方仍然是用摘要的，例如香港雅虎新聞的 RSS。最近在研究 Gresemonkey，小試牛刀寫了個 script 來弄個在 Google Reader 內取得全文的 script。
你必需：
- 使用 Firefox
- 已安
連在一起寫。
