Corporate Fluff: SUSE and IBM

SUSE is my new distribution (new job)
This week I've started to work at SUSE. I'll be working as Python Specialist, in the packaging team, so I will go back to work on packaging and distribution after more than ten years.

The hacker has not done anything except roam around and show off the access with screen shots, but it shows how important the human link is in this chain of security.

As I See It: Different Yet the Same
It is among the most common of human yearnings: the desire to see oneself as special and distinct from the herd. Individualism, coupled with exceptionalism has long been ingrained in American mythology.
