...slightly more money from each of those remaining customers, and have slightly lower churn. Their municipal write-off is lower, too, as they've taken most of the expense, and have offloaded more and more of their future obligations The company still has the same problem that it had before it started unwinding its services beyond dial-up and...

2008-06-11 11:33:55 by Editor in IT Security - The IT Security Industry's Web Resource
 
...slightly less pay to telecommute full time. The survey defined slightly less as up to a 10% reduction in salary The article does mention that workers can save some costs at the gas pump but there are a lot more savings from telecommuting too. Workers who commute have to pay not just for gas or bus fees, but also for parking, the cost of lunch...

...slightly larger fraction of Apache servers compared to the Netcraft web server survey . Our analysis is based on crawl information and only root URLs were examined, therefore hosts that did not present a root URL (e.g. /index.htm) were not included in the statistics. This may have contributed to the disparity with the Netcraft numbers ...

How effective is the wisdom of crowds as a security mechanism?

2007-12-21 15:26:10 by Tyler Moore in Light Blue Touchpaper
 
...slightly more complete and significantly faster in confirming phishing websites. This is because companies can afford employees to verify their submissions We also found that users who vote less often are more likely to vote incorrectly, and that users who commit many errors tend to have voted on the same URLs Despite these problems, we do...

...slightly alter my behavior and then proceed with indifference I always configure my browser to not store cookies (the number one feature to choose FireFox over IE); a practice that was instigated when I learned Google sent the same cookie from each machine when a search was made.

The Trouble with Threat Modeling

...slightly more interesting case where threat modeling exposes an issue. Youch! But as I wrote in a comment on that post, What you've been doing here is walking through a lot of possibilities. Some of those turn out to be uninteresting, and we learn something. Others (as we've discussed in email) were pretty clearly uninteresting It can be...

I've often argued that it's an oversimplification to say that you can factor out all authorization logic from a method, and it looks like Vittorio...

...slightly different. What if there was egress filtering and I ended up rooting a web server? And in this situation lets pretend that it was set up so that all thats allowed out is port 80 and 443. What now? I cant kill the web server, or people will certainly notice, and I cant tunnel out on any other ports which are already locked up by the...

2008-02-11 01:00:00 by Editor in Irongeek's Security Site
 
...slightly inaccurate layman's terms, this means encrypting your entire C: drive. Even if you already write your sensitive data to an encrypted space, files are sometimes squirreled away in unencrypted temp space or in the page file where they may be recovered. Using Truecrypt to encrypt your Windows XP system partition will help eliminate this...
