I # PASSWORDS Revisited

product link - category link

A rather remarkable coincidence happened recently. Last week I was contacted by a reader who was interested in the I # PASSWORDS shirts but was disappointed that there were no polo or pocketed shirt options for the design. Unbeknownst to me at the time the original post was in the queue for reposting to social media this past weekend (I've been reposting old posts with images that had originally been posted to social media without images because posting without images really didn't do them justice).

So thanks to Adam Outler for the idea to alter the design to make a 2-line variant so that the # symbol can stay relatively large when scaled down to pocket size and (maybe) not lose the fine details within it (the words "work factor" are repeated over and over again inside the # symbol). I made certain to specifically put the design on a polo shirt and a pocketed t-shirt in my Zazzle store (which is inexplicably slow to update), and on a golf shirt in my CafePress store. As you can see above, I also put it on the simpler t-shirts as well.

This is, of course, impossible for the time being. That being said, there are a number of medical implants that have some form of computerized components. The number of such implants are more likely to increase over time than they are to decrease, and the computers being used in them are going to increasingly be general purpose computers that can in fact be affected by viruses and other malware. So in a way, computer viruses could eventually spread to humans by virtue of spreading to the computerized components inside some of them.

Sorry You Couldn't Spy On Me That Way

And here I was thinking we did things different up here in The Great White North. Obviously we don't do things THAT differently.

I CAN HAS UR ATM?



I think I see which is the weakest link in this chain - it's the would-be ATM thief. That is, he would be an ATM thief if he weren't so dumb.

Look Who's Thinking Like An Attacker Now

from here

I keep hearing advice to hack yourself (or alternatively "hack thyself") but I wonder if, under the circumstances, perhaps that's setting the bar a little too low.

The (In)Security Industry

from here

I have a great deal of respect for security tools and the people who make them. However, when it comes to the business of selling them, I cannot abide by the tactics used or the entities who employ them.

Have Faith In Those Spying On You

When you get right down it it, an omniscient being watching your every move is pretty creepy, and yet the God-fearing public seems to be OK with it. It's no wonder the government is getting away with the same thing.

At Least It Won't Fall Over

Sometimes it seems like people learned to secure their bikes by watching cowboys secure their horses in old western movies.

Then We'll Need Anti-Nude Software

Thanks to Beatrice for the joke. I suspect in my case the picture would be punishment enough, but if people could booby trap their booby pictures I'm pretty sure it would create demand for software to protect you from nudes. Puritan Software Inc. presents SinStop.
