July 4, 2002, the first since 9/11, the nation was on "orange alert." I knew security would be "tight," because the news was full of it.

 Schneier on Security: July 2005 Archives
If intercepted communications are encrypted (encoded and made secret), the act will force the individual to surrender the keys (pin numbers which allow users to decipher encoded data), on pain of jail sentences of up to two years.
To the extent that the bombing victims are perceived to be invaders and occupiers, those who kill them defending their country will be viewed as heroic by the people.
But again, my sympathy goes out to those killed and injured, their family and friends, and everyone else in the world indirectly affected by these acts as they are endlessly repeated in the media.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there are a number of new security measures suggested by the Ministry of Magic (as Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters have been running amuk).
In Harry Potter's universe, it would probably amount to pointing a wand at someone and saying "Identico!" (or some other such word that is vaguely related to the words Identity or Identify) at which point you could find out who the person is and if they're under the Imperious Curse.
Odd as it may seem, that is exactly what a curiously unnamed BBC reporter has done for the just-released Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

In case you were wondering, there are a few other interesting companies that do code reviews (Agitar for Java and Coverity for C and C++) to detect errors along with security vulnerabilities etc. Makes me wonder if Black Duck will open-source their "risk" database at some point.
I spent some time this morning doing an interview with HPCwire on the impact and importance of Linux in high performance computing, and once again came to the same epiphany that I do every few weeks (and that Matt Asay showed me so long ago) that Linux and open source is about choice.

It is a real pleasure to see a fresh and creative production just as the new adaptation of the Roald Dahl book: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).
For those who have read the book and were disappointed in the liberties taken by the 1971 adaptation (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)) I am happy to say that readers of the book report the new movie is very true to the original source.
And speaking of Burton, you Burton fans should keep an eye out for references to previous films including Depp’s Scissorhands (1990) in his first full appearance as Wonka (you can see it in the trailer) as well as references to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Batman (1989) and others.
