Yet another new RISKS digest, this one has a mention of the ITS4 Software Security Scanner which looks for potential security holes in C and C++ code; software called Mission Performance Plan
in use in U.S. embassies around the world, written by programmers from the former Soviet Union, a fact which panicked the U.S. State Department recently; some less-than-charitable comments about Microsoft's Authenticode system; and some interesting notes on trying to read the privacy policy at http://www.foxkids.com in either the fonts defined by the web page or without images loaded (black on black).

if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
