Sent home glowing reports (Dec 30 2006 05:59 GMT) - In the following paragraph: Vincent appears to have been genuinely dedicated and effective at Goupil's. His boss, Tersteeg, sent home glowing reportsand after four years at The Hague he was promoted to the London branch. The blue phrase "sent glowing reports" apparently means "sent home good news, praising words, etc", which could come in different forms, such as a telephone call, not necessarily in a report (In fact, always not by way of report). My question is, as an idiomatic expression, it means the above, but is there a context where it really means reports, like we talked about our children whose teacher sends home report cards in which a straight A is reported. |

Keeping Passwords Embedded in Code Secure? (Dec 30 2006 05:53 GMT) - JPyObjC Dude asks: "When designing any system that requires automated privileged access to databases or services, developers often rely on hard coding (embedding) passwords within the source code. This is obviously a bad practice as the password is then made available to anybody who has access to the source code (eg. software source control). Putting the passwords in configuration files is another practice, but it is still quite insecure as cracking hashed passwords from a text file is a trivial exercise. |

AT&T compra Bellsouth por 86 bilhões de dólares (Dec 30 2006 05:41 GMT) - Um gigante cresce ainda mais com a fusão das duas empresas, aprovada pela FCC, a agência reguladora dos EUA. Uma das exigências foi fornecer internet de banda larga por 10 dólares mensais e congelar os preços para os competidores usar as redes da empresa por 48 meses. Um dos nossos leitores disse algo sobre o mercado que faz total sentido: basta essa B0$74* de governo (qualquer que seja ele, Lulas, Camarões, Ostras, etc) sair do caminho, reduzir os impostos e entrar apenas como regulador. O mercado se encarrega de fazer o resto. |
