The company today will announce the start of a new program that will pay security researchers up to $100,000 for serious vulnerabilities and as much as $50,000 for new defensive techniques that help protect against those flaws. Microsoft security officials say that the program has been a long time in development, and the factor that made this the right time to launch is the recent rise of vulnerability brokers. Up until quite recently, most of the researchers who found bugs in Microsoft products reported them directly to the company. That's no longer the case. The system that Microsoft is kicking off on June 26 will pay researchers $100,000 for a new exploit technique that is capable of bypassing the latest existing mitigations in the newest version of Windows."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Microsoft+Launches+%24100k+Bug+Bounty+Program%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F17YYYKz"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F227213%2Fmicrosoft-launches-100k-bug-bounty-program%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/227213/microsoft-launches-100k-bug-bounty-program?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/227213/microsoft-launches-100k-bug-bounty-program?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d86856e/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666266671/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d86856e/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666266671/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d86856e/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666266671/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d86856e/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/9LYV1Df4Xqw" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:13:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d86856e/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C2272130Cmicrosoft0Elaunches0E10A0Ak0Ebug0Ebounty0Eprogram0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusmicrosoft2013-06-19T23:13:00Z1bug-huntnews1,1,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d86856e/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C2272130Cmicrosoft0Elaunches0E10A0Ak0Ebug0Ebounty0Eprogram0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/_m8Xp_24NBA/story01.htmmsm1267 writes "Business travelers who tether their iPhones as mobile hotspots beware. Researchers at the University of Erlanger-Nuremberg in Germany have discovered a weakness in the way iOS generates default passwords for such connections that can leave a user's device vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, information leakage or abuse of the user's Internet connection. Andreas Kurtz, Felix Freiling and Daniel Metz published a paper (PDF) that describes the inner workings of how an attacker can exploit the PSK (pre-shared key) authentication iOS uses to establish a secure WPA2 connection when using the Apple smartphone as a hotspot. The researchers said that attackers would find the least resistance attacking the PSK setup rather than trying their hand at beating the operating system's complex programming layers."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Researchers+Crack+iOS+Mobile+Hotspot+Passwords+In+Less+Than+a+Minute%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F15kz7GF"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F1848229%2Fresearchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1848229/researchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1848229/researchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d84e3c3/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666261171/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d84e3c3/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666261171/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d84e3c3/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666261171/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d84e3c3/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/_m8Xp_24NBA" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:26:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d84e3c3/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C18482290Cresearchers0Ecrack0Eios0Emobile0Ehotspot0Epasswords0Ein0Eless0Ethan0Ea0Eminute0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillios2013-06-19T19:26:00Zalgorithm-to-guess-your-cat's-nameit0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d84e3c3/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C18482290Cresearchers0Ecrack0Eios0Emobile0Ehotspot0Epasswords0Ein0Eless0Ethan0Ea0Eminute0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/4cYg0pqylgs/story01.htmFirst time accepted submitter dougkfresh writes "Checkmarx's research lab identified that more than 20% of the 50 most popular WordPress plugins are vulnerable to common Web attacks, such as SQL Injection.

They may already be pressuring content providers to charge Intel more or not sell to it. Another scenario could be that cable and ISP providers simply favor their own streaming services with pricing models, or limit bandwidth based on where customers get their streamed content. For example, Comcast could charge more for a third-party streaming service than for its own, or it could throttle bandwidth or place caps on it to limit how much content customer receives from streaming media services as it did with BitTorrent. Meanwhile, Verizon is challenging in a D.C. circuit court the FCC's Open Internet rules that are supposed to ensure there's a level playing field."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Intel+Streaming+Media+Service+Faces+An+Uphill+Battle+for+Bandwidth%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10o6JqW"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F16%2F1859225%2Fintel-streaming-media-service-faces-an-uphill-battle-for-bandwidth%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/16/1859225/intel-streaming-media-service-faces-an-uphill-battle-for-bandwidth?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/16/1859225/intel-streaming-media-service-faces-an-uphill-battle-for-bandwidth?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d5dcea5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665228177/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d5dcea5/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665228177/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d5dcea5/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665228177/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d5dcea5/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/NS8MCUEBb-M" height="1" width="1"/>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:15:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d5dcea5/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C160C18592250Cintel0Estreaming0Emedia0Eservice0Efaces0Ean0Euphill0Ebattle0Efor0Ebandwidth0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothyintel2013-06-16T19:15:00Z1let's-just-let-the-nsa-sort-it-outit1,1,1,1,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d5dcea5/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C160C18592250Cintel0Estreaming0Emedia0Eservice0Efaces0Ean0Euphill0Ebattle0Efor0Ebandwidth0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/RGpM7dTGxDk/story01.htmmsm1267 writes "Researchers recently have seen a major increase in the volume of autorun malware in some countries, thanks to a couple of new worms infecting those older machines.

That's a venue where hordes of non-technical mid- and upper-level managers will see it and (because of the credibility of AllThingsD) will believe software-defined data centers are not only possible, but that they exist and that your company is somehow falling behind because you personally have not sketched up a topology on a napkin or brought a package of it to install. If mid-level managers in your datacenter or extended IT department have not been pinged at least once today by business-unit managers offering to tip them off to the benefits of software-defined data centers&mdash;or demand that they buy one&mdash;then someone should go check the internal phone system because not all the calls are coming through. Why was AllThingD's piece problematic? First, because it's a good enough publication to explain all the relevant technology terms in ways that even a non-technical audience can understand. Second, it's also a credible source, owned by Dow Jones &amp; Co. and spun off by The Wall Street Journal. Third, software-defined data centers are genuinely happening&mdash;but it's in the very early stages.

That soil is in Lulea, town of 75,000 people on northern Sweden's east coast, just miles south of the boundary separating the Arctic Circle from the somewhat-less-frigid land below it. Lulea (also nicknamed The Node Pole for the number of datacenters in the area) is in the coldest area of Sweden and shares the same latitude as Fairbanks, Alaska, according to a local booster site. The constant, biting wind may have stunted the growth of Lulea's tourism industry, but it has proven a big factor in luring big IT facilities into the area. Datacenters in Lulea are just as difficult to power and cool as any other concentrated mass of IT equipment, but their owners can slash the cost of cooling all those servers and storage units simply by opening a window: the temperature in Lulea hasn't stayed at or above 86 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours since 1961, and the average temperature is a bracing 29.6 Fahrenheit. Air cooling might prove a partial substitute for powered environmental control, but Facebook's datacenter still needed 120megawatts of steady power to keep the social servers humming. Sweden has among the lowest electricity costs in Europe, and the Lulea area reportedly has among the lowest power costs in Sweden. Low electricity prices are at least partly due to the area's proximity to the powerful Lulea River and the line of hydroelectric dams that draw power from it."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Facebook's+Newest+Datacenter+Relies+On+Arctic+Cooling%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11d275x"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F13%2F2247211%2Ffacebooks-newest-datacenter-relies-on-arctic-cooling%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/2247211/facebooks-newest-datacenter-relies-on-arctic-cooling?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/2247211/facebooks-newest-datacenter-relies-on-arctic-cooling?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d443f41/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665063522/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d443f41/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665063522/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d443f41/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665063522/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d443f41/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/p1-t_b-suK8" height="1" width="1"/>Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:13:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d443f41/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C22472110Cfacebooks0Enewest0Edatacenter0Erelies0Eon0Earctic0Ecooling0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusstorage2013-06-14T02:13:00Z6mountains-of-madnesshardware6,6,5,3,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d443f41/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C22472110Cfacebooks0Enewest0Edatacenter0Erelies0Eon0Earctic0Ecooling0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/eGQIhylPp3A/story01.htmcrookedvulture writes "With its Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors, Intel allowed standard Core i5 and i7 CPUs to be overclocked by up to 400MHz using Turbo multipliers. Reaching for higher speeds required pricier K-series chips, but everyone got access to a little "free" clock headroom. Haswell isn't quite so accommodating. Intel has disabled limited multiplier control for non-K CPUs, effectively limiting overclocking to the Core i7-4770K and i5-4670K. Those chips cost $20-30 more than their standard counterparts, and surprisingly, they're missing a few features. The K-series parts lack the support for transactional memory extensions and VT-d device virtualization included with standard Haswell CPUs. PC enthusiasts now have to choose between overclocking and support for certain features even when purchasing premium Intel processors. AMD also has overclocking-friendly K-series parts, but it offers more models at lower prices, and it doesn't remove features available on standard CPUs."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Intel+Removes+%22Free%22+Overclocking+From+Standard+Haswell+CPUs%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F160gjP0"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F13%2F1659231%2Fintel-removes-free-overclocking-from-standard-haswell-cpus%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/1659231/intel-removes-free-overclocking-from-standard-haswell-cpus?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/1659231/intel-removes-free-overclocking-from-standard-haswell-cpus?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40ba96/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664973419/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40ba96/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664973419/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40ba96/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664973419/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40ba96/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/eGQIhylPp3A" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:16:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40ba96/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C16592310Cintel0Eremoves0Efree0Eoverclocking0Efrom0Estandard0Ehaswell0Ecpus0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothyupgrades2013-06-13T18:16:00Z9first-one's-no-longer-freehardware9,9,5,4,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40ba96/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C16592310Cintel0Eremoves0Efree0Eoverclocking0Efrom0Estandard0Ehaswell0Ecpus0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/pu5pRBduT0s/story01.htmFirst time accepted submitter jarle.aase writes "It's doable today to use a mix of virtual machines, VPN, TOR, encryption (and staying away from certain places; like Google Plus, Facebook, and friends), in order to retain a reasonable degree of privacy. In recent days, even major mainstream on-line magazines have published such information. (Aftenposten, one of the largest newspapers in Norway, had an article yesterday about VPN, Tor and Freenet!) But what about the cell-phone? Technically it's not hard to design a phone that can switch off the GSM transmitter, and use VoIP for calls. VoIP could then go from the device through Wi-Fi and VPN. Some calls may be routed trough PSTN gateways &mdash; allowing the agencies to track the other party. But they will not track your location. And they will not track pure, encrypted VoIP calls that traverse trough VPN and use anonymous SIP or XMPP accounts. Android may not be the best software for such a device, as it very eagerly phones home. The same is true for iOS and Windows 8. Actually, I would prefer a non cloud-based mobile OS from a vendor that is not in the PRISM gallery. Does such a device exist yet? Something that runs a relatively safe OS, where GSM can be switched totally off? Something that will only make an outgoing network connection when I ask it to do so?" And in the absence of a perfect solution, what do you do instead? (It's still Android and using the cell network, but Red Phone &mdash; open sourced last year &mdash; seems like a good start.)<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Ask+Slashdot%3A+How+To+Bypass+Gov't+Spying+On+Cellphones%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11yuwOL"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F13%2F1632210%2Fask-slashdot-how-to-bypass-govt-spying-on-cellphones%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/1632210/ask-slashdot-how-to-bypass-govt-spying-on-cellphones?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/1632210/ask-slashdot-how-to-bypass-govt-spying-on-cellphones?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40afca/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664972281/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40afca/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664972281/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40afca/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664972281/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d40afca/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/pu5pRBduT0s" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:35:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40afca/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C1632210A0Cask0Eslashdot0Ehow0Eto0Ebypass0Egovt0Espying0Eon0Ecellphones0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothycommunications2013-06-13T17:35:00Zexcuse-me-while-I-snap-this-gloveyro0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d40afca/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C1632210A0Cask0Eslashdot0Ehow0Eto0Ebypass0Egovt0Espying0Eon0Ecellphones0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/Itktzfp9Jl0/story01.htmhypnosec writes "OWASP's Top 10, the Open Web Application Security Project's top 10 most critical web application security risks, has been updated and a new list for 2013 published.

What's your advice for earning the big bucks?"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=The+%24200%2C000+Software+Developer%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F18BOAJJ"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F13%2F141222%2Fthe-200000-software-developer%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/141222/the-200000-software-developer?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/141222/the-200000-software-developer?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3ea656/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664967065/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3ea656/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664967065/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3ea656/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664967065/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3ea656/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/RD0IWNp0lg8" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:46:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3ea656/l/0Ldevelopers0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C1412220Cthe0E20A0A0A0A0A0Esoftware0Edeveloper0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothymoney2013-06-13T14:46:00Zof-course-those-are-the-blackmail-ratesdevelopers0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3ea656/l/0Ldevelopers0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C1412220Cthe0E20A0A0A0A0A0Esoftware0Edeveloper0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/W8wkwSg0qQg/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "After 25 years of doing IT (started as a PC technician and stayed on technical of IT work through out my career) I've been moved to a position of doing only on call work (but paid as if it is a normal 9-5 job).

Under the terms of the proposed law, the Justice Department would be required to declassify major FISC opinions as a way to give Americans a view into how the federal government is using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Patriot Act. If the attorney general determines that a specific ruling can't be declassified without endangering national security, he can declassify a summary of it.

The industry has seen increasing sales of solid-state drives (SSDs) as a replacement for traditional hard drives, according to IHS iSuppli Research. Nearly all of these have been sold for ultrabooks, laptops and other mobile devices that can benefit from a combination of low energy use and high-powered performance. Despite that, businesses have lagged the consumer market in adoption of SSDs, largely due to the format's comparatively small size, high cost and the concerns of datacenter managers about long-term stability and comparatively high failure rates. But that's changing quickly, according to market researchers IDC and Gartner: Datacenter- and enterprise-storage managers are buying SSDs in greater numbers for both server-attached storage and mainstream storage infrastructure, according to studies both research firms published in April. That doesn't mean SSDs will oust hard drives and replace them directly in existing systems, but it does raise a question: are SSDs mature enough (and cheap enough) to support business-sized workloads? Or are they still best suited for laptops and mobile devices?"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=SSDs%3A+The+New+King+of+the+Data+Center%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11xfBEt"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F13%2F0020213%2Fssds-the-new-king-of-the-data-center%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/0020213/ssds-the-new-king-of-the-data-center?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/13/0020213/ssds-the-new-king-of-the-data-center?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3941fa/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664950726/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3941fa/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664950726/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3941fa/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664950726/u/49/f/647390/c/35028/s/2d3941fa/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/L7KR_v6cgq4" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 13 Jun 2013 07:08:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3941fa/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C0A0A20A2130Cssds0Ethe0Enew0Eking0Eof0Ethe0Edata0Ecenter0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusstorage2013-06-13T07:08:00Zfeeling-solidhardware0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647390/s/2d3941fa/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C130C0A0A20A2130Cssds0Ethe0Enew0Eking0Eof0Ethe0Edata0Ecenter0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htm
