Attacks on the web systems have become a common place and most of the issues have been attributed to software vulnerabilities. The IT software industry has recognized the importance of building secure software systems by incorporating security in their SDLC.What amuses me is that the situation can be much better improved by integrating the basic security mantras in the graduate programs of Computer Science and Information Technology courses. The engineering courses for Computer Science and Information Technology at least can be sought to have the security touch points to enable the fresh candidates understand security implications while building software.Currently, most security efforts at the university courses are in the form of specialized security classes which address particular topic

As part of our continuing efforts to improve the user experience, we will soon incorporate an additional factor into Quality Score: landing page load time. Load time is the amount of time it takes for a user to see the landing page after clicking an ad.Why are we doing this?Two reasons: first, users have the best experience when they don't have to wait a long time for landing pages to load. Interstitial pages, multiple redirects, excessively slow servers, and other things that can increase load times only keep users from getting what they want: information about your business. Second, users are more likely to abandon landing pages that load slowly, which can hurt your conversion rate.When are we making this change?In the next few weeks, we will add load time evaluations to the Keyword Ana

What in the hell are these kids doing singing this song?
I do like Olivia Newton-John's version much better ;o)
More information about Olivia Newton-John's video after the jump.
"Physical" is a 1981 song written by Steve Kipner and Terry Shaddick and performed by Olivia Newton-John. Recorded in early 1981, it first rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in America in November 1981 and stayed there for ten weeks, until the end of January 1982. In terms of chart placement, it was the most popular single of her career, as well as her final number-one (to date). Billboard ranked it as the number one pop single of 1982 (since the chart year for 1982 actually began in November of 1981), and it was also the most successful song on the Hot 100 during the entire decade of the 1980s.
The single, slightly edgier than she had been known for in the past (such as her songs from Grease and her ballad "I Honestly Love You"), proved to be immensely popular both in America and in the

Dear Murray
What are your thoughts on prostitution? Should it be legalized or not? It sucks having to go all the way to Tijuana to get some easy ass.
-Horny in Hollywood
Lemme tell ya, it’s a sad fucking cuntry we live in when you can sell your soul, but you can’t sell your ass. So, let’s combine these two pasttimes, why don’t we? First, we legalize prostitution. Then, we can regulate it, tax it, and make sure the hookers are clean. Then, we take that motherfucker to Wall Street. That’s right. Whores, Inc., is gonna be the fucking biggest IPO ever to hit. Fuckers are gonna go crazy when our ticker symbol comes across the screen:

In March, I decided to put my shorter entries into a separate blog and feed that blog into the main StocksandBlogs.com site. But managing two blogs is a lot more work than I am prepared to do, so I have merged them. All posts made under Tradepad have now been imported into this blog. RSS subscirbers might see some 30 odd entries to my blog today. My apologies for that.--Faisal Laljee
I understand the need of incorporating (Inc., LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp) your company in the political climate that exists today. It helps protect individual assets from frivolous lawsuits.
Would incorporation be necessary in a free market system? If the only reason for the courts and police was to protect individual rights and uphold contracts, I have trouble understanding the need for incorporation.
Thoughts?

At last ! The US Army liberating from evil treatments hundreds of detainees, including 13 needing hospitalization. And this time, we are not responsible for the torture : it's that nasty Iraqi regime we put at the head of the new and improved Iraq. We've got bad guys within our ranks but look : torture is an Iraqi thing. It's embedded in their DNA ! Who knows, it could be Saddam's WMDs and nerve gases attacking the very souls of every single person living there !The US have nerves, all right. This telegenic bravado is supposed to remind the audience Amerika is not the only country fighting this nasty war, but it should remind everybody this war wasn't necessary. There were other ways of castrating Saddam Hussein, and there were certainly other things to do to truly fight terror.
