Lessons learned from Apple goto fail
The year 2014 has not been a good year for the SSL/TLS protocol. SSL/TLS is the fundamental algorithm for securing web applications. Yet every major implementation has had at least one disastrous vulnerability, including Apple (goto fail), GnuTLS, OpenSSL (Heartbleed), and Microsoft. Separately a nasty attack has been found in the underlying SSLv3 protocol (POODLE). But instead of just noting those depressing statistics, we need to figure out why those vulnerabilities happened, and change how we develop software to prevent them from happening again.
To help, I just released The Apple goto fail vulnerability: lessons learned, a paper that is similar to my previous papers that focuses on how to counter these kinds of vulnerabilities in the future. In many ways Apple goto fail vulnerability was much more embarassing compared to Heartbleed; the goto fail vulnerability was easy to detect, in a portion that was a key part of its functionality. This vulnerability was reported back in February 2014, but there does not seem to be a single place where you can find a more complete list of approaches to counter it. I also note some information that doesn't seem to be available elsewhere.
So if you develop software - or manage people who do - take a look at The Apple goto fail vulnerability: lessons learned.

Peter Miller and improving make
First, a sad note. Peter Miller died on 2014-07-27 from leukemia. He did a lot of important things, including writing the influential paper "Recursive Make Considered Harmful". Rest in peace.
I should point out an essay I've written about improving make. Make is widely used, but the POSIX standard for it lacks key functions, including vital ones that Peter Miller pointed out years ago. Thankfully, progress has been made. My hope is that progress will continue to happen; I welcome help for improving the standard and implementations of make.

Open Source Software in U.S. Government
The report "Open Source Software in Government: Challenges and Opportunities" is available to the public (you can jump to the "Download full report" link at the bottom). This paper, which I co-authored, discusses key challenges and opportunities in the U.S. government application of open source software (OSS). It became publicly available only recently, even though it was finished a while back; I hope it's been worth the wait. If you're interested in the issues of OSS and government, I think you'll find this report very illuminating.

A tester walks into a bar
A tester walks into a bar and orders a beer. Then he orders 999,999 beers. Orders 0 beers. Orders -1 beers. Orders a coyote. Orders a qpoijzcpx. Then he insults the bartender.
This joke (with variations) is making the rounds, but it also has a serious point. It's a nice example of how testing should work, including software testing.
Too many of today's so-called software "tests" only check for correct data. This has led to numerous vulnerabilities including Heartbleed and Apple's "goto fail; goto fail;" vulnerability. The paper "The Most Dangerous Code in the World: Validating SSL Certificates in Non-Browser Software" found that a disturbingly large number of programss' security depends on SSL certificate validation, and they are insecure because no one actually tested them with invalid certificates. They note that "most of the vulnerabilities we found should have been discovered during development with proper unit testing".
Good software testing must include negative testing (tests with data that should be rejected) to ensure that the software protects itself against bad data. This must be part of an automated regression test suite (re-run constantly) to prevent problems from creeping in later. For example, if your programs accept numbers, don't just test for "correct" input; test for wrong cases like too big, zero, negative or too small, and non-numbers. Testing "just around" too big and too small numbers is often helpful, too, as is testing that tries to bypass the interface. Your users won't know how you did it, but they'll know your program "just works" reliably.

I have posted a new paper about Shellshock. In particular, it includes a detailed timeline about shellshock, which counters a number of myths and misunderstandings. It also shows a correct way to detect if your system is vulnerable to shellshock (many postings get it wrong and only detect part of the problem).
I also briefly discuss how to detect or prevent future shellshock-like attacks. At the moment this list is short, because these kinds of vulnerabilities are known to be difficult to detect ahead of time. Still, I think it is worth trying to do this. My goal is to eventually end up with something similar to the list of countermeasures for Heartbleed-like attacks that I developed earlier.

Software SOAR released!!
The Software SOAR (which I co-authored) has finally been released to the public! This document - whose full name is State-of-the-Art Resources (SOAR) for Software Vulnerability Detection, Test, and Evaluation (Institute for Defense Analyses Paper P-5061, July 2014) - is now available to everyone. It defines and describes the following overall process for selecting and using appropriate analysis tools and techniques for evaluating software for software (security) assurance. In particular, it identifies types of tools and techniques available for evaluating software, as well as the technical objectives those tools and techniques can meet. A key thing that it does is make clear that in most cases you need to use a variety of different tools if you are trying to evaluate software (e.g., to find vulnerabilities).
The easy way to get the document is via the Program Protection and System Security Engineering web page, then scroll to the bottom to look for it (it is co-authored by David A. Wheeler and Rama S. Moorthy). You can jump directly to the Main report of the software SOAR and Appendix E (Software State-of-the-Art Resources (SOAR) Matrix). You can also get the software SOAR report via IDA.
I don't normally mention things I've done at work, but this is publicly available, some people have been waiting for it, and I've found that some people have had trouble finding it. For example, the article "Pentagon rates software assurance tools" by David Perera (Politico, 2014-08-19) is about this paper, but it does not tell people how to actually get it. I'm hoping that this announcement will give people a hand.

Flawfinder version 1.28 released!
I've released yet another new version of flawfinder - now it's version 1.28. Flawfinder is a simple program that examines C/C++ source code and reports on likely security flaws in the program, ranked by risk level.
This new version has some new capabilities. Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) references are now included in most hits (this makes it easier to use in conjunction with other tools, and it also makes it easier to find general information about a weakness). The new version of flawfinder also has a new option to only produce reports that match a regular expression (e.g., you can report only hits with specific CWE values). This version also adds support for the git diff format.
This new version also has a number of bug fixes. For example, it handles files not ending in newline, and it more gracefully handles handles unbalanced double-quotes in sprintf. A bug in reporting the time executed has also been fixed.
For more information, or a copy, just go to my original flawfinder home page or the flawfinder project page on SourceForge.net. Enjoy!

Interview on Application Security
A new interview of me is available: David A. Wheeler on the Current State of Application Security (by the Trusted Software Alliance) (alternate link). In this interview I discuss a variety of topics with Mark Miller, including the need for education in developing secure software, the need to consider security thoughout the lifecycle, and the impact of componentization. I warn that many people do not include security (including software assurance) when they ask for quality; while I agree in principle that security is generally part of quality, in practice you have to specifically ask for security or you won't get it.
This interview is part of their 50 in 50 interviews series, along with Joe Jarzombek (Department of Homeland Security), Steve Lipner (Microsoft), Bruce Schneier, Jeff Williams (Aspect Security and OWASP), and many others. It was an honor and pleasure to participate, and I hope you enjoy the results.

On Dave and Gunnar show
There is now an interview of me on the Dave and Gunnar show (episode #51). I talk mostly about How to prevent the next Heartbleed. I also talk about my FLOSS numbers database (as previously discussed) and vulnerability economics. There was even a mention of my Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling work.
Since the time of the interview, more information has surfaced about Heartbleed. Traditional fuzzing could not find Heartbleed, but it looks like some fuzzing variants could even if the OpenSSL code was unchanged; see the latest version for more information. If you learn more information relevant to the paper, let me know!

FLOSS numbers database!
If you are doing research related to Free / Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS), then I have something that may be useful to you: the FLOSS numbers database.
My paper Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers! is a big collection of quantitative studies about FLOSS. Too big, in fact. There have been a lot of quantitative studies about FLOSS over the years! A lot of people want to query this information for specific purposes, and it is hard to pull out just the parts you want from a flat document. I had thought that as FLOSS became more and more common, fewer people would want this information… but I still get requests for it.
So I am announcing the FLOSS numbers database; it provides the basic information in spreadsheet format, making it easy to query for just the parts you want. My special thanks go to Paul Rotilie, who worked to get the data converted from my document format into the spreadsheet.
If you want to discuss this database, I have set up a discussion group: Numbers about Free Libre Open Source Software. If you are doing research and need or use this kind of information, please feel free to join. If you just need a presenatation based on this, you might like my Presentation: Why Free-Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS or OSS/FS)? Look at the Numbers!.
This database is the sort of thing that if you need it, you really need it. I am sure it is incomplete… but I am also sure that with your help, we can make it better.

William W. McCune: He made the world a better place through source code
Here I want to honor the memory of William W. ("Bill") McCune, who helped change the world for the better by releasing software source code. I hope that many other researchers and government policy-makers will follow his lead… and below I intend to show why.
But first, I should explain my connection to him. My PhD dissertation involved countering the so-called "trusting trust" attack. In this attack, an attacker subverts the tools that developers use to create software. This turns out to be a really nasty attack. If a software developer's tools are subverted, then the attacker actually controls the computer system running the software. This is no idle concern, either; we know that computers are under constant attack, and that some of these attacks are very sophisticated. Such subversions could allow attackers to essentially control all computers worldwide, including the global financial system, militaries, electrical systems, dams, you name it. That kind of power makes this kind of attack potentially worthwhile, but only if it cannot be detected and countered. For many years there were no good detection mechanisms or countermeasures. Then Henry Spencer suggested a potential solution… but there was no agreement that his idea would really counter attackers. That matters; how can you be absolutely certain about some claim?
The "gold standard" for knowing if something is true is a formal mathematical proof. Many important questions cannot be proved this way, all proofs depend on assumptions, and creating a formal proof is often hard. Still, a formal mathematical proof is the best guarantee we have for being certain about something. And there were a lot of questions about whether or not Henry Spencer's approach would really counter this attack. So, I went about trying to prove that Henry Spencer's idea really would counter the attack (if certain assumptions held).
After trying several other approaches, I found that the tools developed by Bill McCune (in particular prover9, mace4, and ivy) were perfect for my needs. These tools made my difficult work far easier, because his tools managed to mostly-automatically prove claims mathematically once they were described using mathematical statements. In the end, I managed to mathematically prove that Henry Spencer's approach really did counter the subverted compiler problem. The tools Bill McCune developed and released made a real difference in helping to solve this challenging real-world problem. I didn't need much help (because his tools were remarkably easy to use and well-documented), but he responded quickly when I emailed him too.
Sadly, Bill McCune suddenly died on May 4, 2011, leaving the field of automated reasoning deprived of one of its founders (particularly in the subfields of practical theorem proving and model building). In 2013 an academic book was released in his honor ("Automated Reasoning and Mathematics: Essays in Memory of William W. McCune", Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence 7788). That book's preface has a nice tribute to Bill McCune, listing some of his personal accomplishments (e.g., the development of Otter) and other accomplishments that his tools enabled.
Bill McCune released many tools as open source software (including prover9, mace4, ivy, and the older tool Otter). This means that anyone could use the software (for any purpose), modify it, and distribute it (with or without modification). These freedoms had far-reaching effects, accelerating research in automated proving of claims, as well as speeding the use of these techniques. That book's preface notes several of Bill McCune's accomplishments, including the impact he had by releasing the code:
All too often the U.S. government spends a fortune in research, and then that same research has to be recreated from scratch several times again by other researchers (sometimes unsuccessfully). This is a tremendous waste of government money, and can delay work by years (if it can happen at all) resulting in far less progress for the money spent. Bill McCune instead ensured that this results got out to people who could use and improve upon them. In this specific area Bill McCune made software research available to many others, so that those others could use it, verify it, and build on top of those results.
Of course, he was not alone in recognizing the value of sharing research when implemented as software. The paper "The Evolution from LIMMAT to NANOSAT" by Armin Biere (April 2004) makes the same point when they tried to reproduce others' work. That paper states, "From the publications alone, without access to the source code, various details were still unclear… what we did not realize, and which hardly could be deduced from the literature, was [an optimization] employed in GRASP and CHAFF [was critically important]… Only [when CHAFF's source code became available did] our unfortunate design decision became clear… The lesson learned is, that important details are often omitted in publications and can only be extracted from source code. It can be argued, that making source code … available is as important to the advancement of the field as publication."
More generally, Free the Code.org argues that if government pays to develop software, then it should be available to others for reuse and sharing. That makes sense to me; if "we the people" paid to develop software, then by default "we the people" should receive it. I think it especially makes sense in science and research; without the details of how software works, results are not reproduceable. Currently much of science is not reproduceable (and thus not really science), though open science efforts are working to change this.
I think Bill McCune made great contributions to many, many, others. I am certainly one of the beneficiaries. Thank you, Bill McCune, so very much for your life's work.

I just learned about shellcheck, a tool that reports on common mistakes in (Bourne) shell scripts. If you write shell scripts, you should definitely check out this static analyzer. You can try it out by pasting shell scripts into their website. It is open source software, so you can also download and use it to your heart's content.
It even covers some of the issues identified in Filenames and Pathnames in Shell: How to do it Correctly. If you are interested in static analyzers for software, you can also see my Flawfinder home page which identifies many other static analysis tools.

Vulnerability bidding wars and vulnerability economics
I worry that the economics of software vulnerability reporting is seriously increasing the risks to society. The problem is the rising bidding wars for vulnerability information, leading to a rapidly-growing number of vulnerabilities known only to attackers. These kinds of vulnerabilities, when exploited, are sometimes called "zero-days" because users and suppliers had zero days of warning. I suspect we should create laws limiting the sale of vulnerability information, similar to the limits we place on organ donation, to change the economics of vulnerability reporting. To see why, let me go over some background first.
A big part of the insecure software problem today is that relatively few of today's software developers know how to develop software that resists attack (e.g., via the Internet). Many schools don't teach it at all. I think that's ridiculous; you'd think people would have heard about the Internet by now. I do have some hope that this will get better. I teach a graduate course on how to develop secure software at George Mason University (GMU), and attendance has increased over time. But today, most software developers do not know how to create secure software.
In contrast, there is an increasing bidding war for vulnerability information by organizations who intend to exploit those vulnerabilities. This incentivizes people to search for vulnerabilities, but not report them to the suppliers (who could fix them) and not alert the public. As Bruce Schneier reports in "The Vulnerabilities Market and the Future of Security" (June 1, 2012), "This new market perturbs the economics of finding security vulnerabilities. And it does so to the detriment of us all." Forbes ran an article about this in 2012, Meet The Hackers Who Sell Spies The Tools To Crack Your PC (And Get Paid Six-Figure Fees). The Forbes article describes what happened when French security firm Vupen broke the security of the Chrome web browser. Vupen would not tell Google how they broke in, because the $60,000 award Google from Google was not enough. Chaouki Bekrar, Vupen's chief executive, said that they "wouldn't share this [information] with Google for even $1 million… We want to keep this for our customers." These customers do not plan to fix security bugs; they purchase exploits or techniques with the "explicit intention of invading or disrupting". Vupen even "hawks each trick to multiple government agencies, a business model that often plays its customers against one another as they try to keep up in an espionage arms race." Just one part of the Flame espionage software (exploiting Microsoft Update) has been estimated as being worth $1 million when it was not known.
This imbalance in economic incentives creates a dangerous and growing mercenary subculture. You now have a growing number of people looking for vulnerabilities, keeping them secret, and selling them to the highest bidder… which will encourage more to look for, and keep secret, these vulnerabilities. After all, they are incentivized to do it. In contrast, the original developer typically does not know how to develop secure software, and there are fewer economic incentives to develop secure software anyway. This is a volatile combination.
Some think the solution is for suppliers to pay people when they report security vulnerabilities to suppliers ("bug bounties"). I do not think bug bounty systems (by themselves) will be enough, though suppliers are trying.
There has been a lot of discussion about Yahoo and bug bounties. On September 30, 2013, the article What's your email security worth? 12 dollars and 50 cents according to Yahoo reported that Yahoo paid for each vulnerability only $12.50 USD. Even worse, this was not actual money, it was "a discount code that can only be used in the Yahoo Company Store, which sell Yahoo's corporate t-shirts, cups, pens and other accessories". Ilia Kolochenko, High-Tech Bridge CEO, says: "Paying several dollars per vulnerability is a bad joke and won't motivate people to report security vulnerabilities to them, especially when such vulnerabilities can be easily sold on the black market for a much higher price. Nevertheless, money is not the only motivation of security researchers. This is why companies like Google efficiently play the ego card in parallel with [much higher] financial rewards and maintain a 'Hall of Fame' where all security researchers who have ever reported security vulnerabilities are publicly listed. If Yahoo cannot afford to spend money on its corporate security, it should at least try to attract security researchers by other means. Otherwise, none of Yahoo's customers can ever feel safe." Brian Martin, President of Open Security Foundation, said: "Vendor bug bounties are not a new thing. Recently, more vendors have begun to adopt and appreciate the value it brings their organization, and more importantly their customers. Even Microsoft, who was the most notorious hold-out on bug bounty programs realized the value and jumped ahead of the rest, offering up to $100,000 for exploits that bypass their security mechanisms. Other companies should follow their example and realize that a simple "hall of fame", credit to buy the vendor's products, or a pittance in cash is not conducive to researcher cooperation. Some of these companies pay their janitors more money to clean their offices, than they do security researchers finding vulnerabilities that may put thousands of their customers at risk." Yahoo has since decided to establish a bug bounty system with larger rewards.
More recently, the Internet Bug Bounty Panel (founded by Microsoft and Facebook) will award public research into vulnerabilities with the potential for severe security implications to the public. It has a minimum bounty of $5,000. However, it certainly does not cover everything; they only intend to pay out widespread vulnerabilities (wide range of products or end users), and plan to limit bounties to only severe vulnerabilities that are novel (new or unusual in an interesting way). I think this could help, but it is no panacea.
Bug bounty systems are typically drastically outbid by attackers, and I see no reason to believe this will change.
Indeed, I do not think we should mandate, or even expect, that suppliers will pay people when people report security vulnerabilities to suppliers (aka bug bounties). Such a mandate or expectation could kill small businesses and open source software development, and it would almost certainly chill software development in general. Such payments would not also deal with what I see as a key problem: the people who sell vulnerabilities to the highest bidder. Mandating payment by suppliers would get most people to send them problem reports… if the bug bounty payments were required to be larger than payments to those who would exploit the vulnerability. That would be absurd, because given current prices, such a requirement would almost certainly prevent a lot of software development.
I think people who find a vulnerability in software should normally be free to tell the software's supplier, so that the supplier can rapidly repair the software (and thus fix it before it is exploited). Some people call this "responsible disclosure", though some suppliers misuse this term. Some suppliers say they want "responsible disclosure", but they instead appear to irresponsibly abuse the term to stifle warning those at risk (including customers and the public), as well as irresponsibly delay the repair of critical vulnerabilities (if they repair the vulnerabilities at all). After all, if a supplier convinces the researcher to not alert users, potential users, and the public about serious security defects in their product, then these irresponsible suppliers may believe they don't need to fix it quickly. People who are suspicious about "responsible disclosure" have, unfortunately, excellent reasons to be suspicious. Many suppliers have shown themselves untrustworthy, and even trustworthy suppliers need to have a reason to stay that way. For that and other reasons, I also think people should be free to alert the public in detail, at no charge, about a software vulnerability (so-called "full disclosure"). Although it's not ideal for users, full disclosure is sometimes necessary; it can be especially justifiable when a supplier has demonstrated (through past or current actions) that he will not rapidly fix the problem that he created. In fact, I think it'd be an inappropriate constraint of free speech to prevent people from revealing serious problems in software products to the public.
But if we don't want to mandate bug bounties, or so-called "responsible disclosure", then where does that leave us? We need to find some way to change the rules so that economics works more closely with and not against computer security.
Well, here is an idea… at least one to start with. Perhaps we should criminalize selling vulnerability information to anyone other than the supplier or the reporter's government. Basically, treat vulnerability information like organ donation: intentionally eliminate economic incentives in a specific area for a greater social good.
That would mean that suppliers can set up bug bounty programs, and researchers can publish information about vulnerabilities to the public, but this would sharply limit who else can legally buy the vulnerability information. In particular, it would be illegal to sell the information to organized crime, terrorist groups, and so on. Yes, governments can do bad things with the information; this particular proposal does nothing directly to address it. But I think it's impossible to prevent a citizen from telling his country's government about a software vulnerability; a citizen could easily see it as his duty. I also think no government would forbid buying such information for itself. However, by limiting sales to that particular citizen's government, it becomes harder to create bidding wars between governments and other groups for vulnerability information. Without the bidding wars, there's less incentive for others to find the information and sell it to them. Without the incentives, there would be fewer people working to find vulnerabilities that they would intentionally hide from suppliers and the public.
I believe this would not impinge on freedom of speech. You can tell no one, everyone, or anyone you want about the vulnerability. What you cannot do is receive financial benefit from selling vulnerability information to anyone other than the supplier (who can then fix it) or your own government (and that at least reduces bidding wars).
Of course, you always have to worry about unexpected consequences or easy workarounds for any new proposed law. An organization could set itself up specifically to find vulnerabilities and then exploit them itself… but that's already illegal, so I don't see a problem there. A trickier problem is that a malicious organization (say, the mob) could create a "supplier" (e.g., a reseller of proprietary software, or a downstream open source software package) that vulnerability researchers could sell their information to, working around the law. This could probably be handled by requiring, in law, that suppliers report (in a timely manner) any vulnerability information they receive to their relevant suppliers.
Obviously there are some people will do illegal things, but some people will avoid doing illegal things in principle, and others will avoid illegal activities because they fear getting caught. You don't need to stop all possible cases, just enough to change the economics.
I fear that the current "vulnerability bidding wars" - left unchecked - will create an overwhelming tsunami of zero-days available to a wide variety of malicious actors. The current situation might impede the peer review of open source software (OSS), since currently people can make more money selling an exploit than in helping the OSS project fix the problem. Thankfully, OSS projects are still widely viewed as public goods, so there are still many people who are willing to take the pay cut and help OSS projects find and fix vulnerabilities. I think proprietary and custom software are actually in much more danger than OSS; in those cases it's a lot easier for people to think "well, they wrote this code for their financial gain, so I may as well sell my vulnerability information for my financial gain". The problem for society is that this attitude completely ignores the users and those impacted by the software, who can get hurt by the later exploitation of the vulnerability.
Maybe there's a better way. If so, great… please propose it! My concern is that economics currently makes it hard - not easy - to have computer security. We need to figure out ways to get Adam Smith's invisible hand to work for us, not against us.

Readable Lisp version 1.0.0 released!
Lisp-based languages have been around a long time. They have some interesting properties, especially when you want to write programs that analyze or manipulate programs. The problem with Lisp is that the traditional Lisp notation - s-expressions - is notoriously hard to read.
I think I have a solution to the problem. I looked at past (failed) solutions and found that they generally failed to be general or homoiconic. I then worked to find notations with these key properties. My solution is a set of notation tiers that make Lisp-based languages much more pleasant to work with. I've been working with many others to turn this idea of readable notations into a reality. If you're interested, you can watch a short video or read our proposed solution.
The big news is that we have reached version 1.0.0 in the readable project. We now have an open source software (MIT license) implementation for both (guile) Scheme and Common Lisp, as well as a variety of support tools. The Scheme portion implements the SRFI-105 and SRFI-110 specs, which we wrote. One of the tools, unsweeten, makes it possible to process files in other Lisps as well.
So what do these tools do? Fundamentally, they implement the 3 notation tiers we've created: curly-infix-expressions, neoteric-expressions, and sweet-expressions. Sweet-expressions have the full set of capabilities.
Here's an example of (awkward) traditional s-expression format:
(define (factorial n) (if (<= n 1) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
Here's the same thing, expressed using sweet-expressions:
define factorial(n) if {n <= 1} 1 {n * factorial{n - 1}}
I even briefly mentioned sweet-expressions in my PhD dissertation "Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling" (see section A.3).
So if you are interested in how to make Lisp-based languages easier to read, watch our short video about the readable notations or download the current version of the readable project. We hope you enjoy them.

Welcome, those interested in Diverse Double-Compiling (DDC)!
A number of people have recently been discussing or referring to my PhD work, "Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling (DDC)", which counters Trojan Horse attacks on compilers. Last week's discussion on reddit based on a short short slide show discussed it directly, for example. There have also been related discussions such as Tor's work on creating deterministic builds.
For everyone who's interested in DDC… welcome! I intentionally posted my dissertation, and a video about it, directly on the Internet with no paywall. That way, anyone who wants the information can immediately get it. Enjoy!
I even include enough background material so other people can independently repeat my experiments and verify my claims. I believe that if you cannot reproduce the results, it is not science… and a lot of computational research has stopped being a science. This is not a new observation; "Reproducible Research: Addressing the Need for Data and Code Sharing in Computational Science" by Victoria C. Stodden (Computing in Science & Engineering, 2010) summarizes a roundtable on this very problem. The roadtable found that "Progress in computational science is often hampered by researchers' inability to independently reproduce or verify published results" and, along with a number of specific steps, "reproducibility must be embraced at the cultural level within the computational science community." "Does computation threaten the scientific method (by Leslie Hatton and Adrian Giordani) and "The case for open computer programs" in Nature (by Darrel C. Ince, Leslie Hatton, and John Graham-Cumming) make similar points. For one of many examples, the paper "The Evolution from LIMMAT to NANOSAT" by Armin Biere (Technical Report #444, 15 April 2004) reported that they could not reproduce results because "From the publications alone, without access to the source code, various details were still unclear." In the end they realized that "making source code… available is as important to the advancement of the field as publications". I think we should not pay researchers, or their institutions, if they fail to provide the materials necessary to reproduce the work.
I do have a request, though. There is no patent on DDC, nor is there a legal requirement to report using it. Still, if you apply my approach, please let me know; I'd like to hear about it. Alternatively, if you are seriously trying to use DDC but are having some problems, let me know.
Again - enjoy!

Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Auto-Shaving Helmet Can Shave Your Head In 20 Seconds
- topic:
- Videos
- In Real Life
- Tech
You could go through the bothersome, tricky process of shaving your head with a tradition razor ... or you could just use a shaving helmet and get it done in 20 seconds. Invented by a Brooklyn dude named Boris, the shaving helmet features blades powered by two servo motors, a shaving cream injection system, and LED indicators that show when the cycle is over.
If it sounds a bit dangerous, well, don't worry. The helmet was tested on an actual live human man. This video shows him being shaved without even a nick, let alone gruesome injuries. Sweet! But for those of us who don't shave our heads, it would be awesome if Boris could make an even-more terrifying shaving mask.

Oh my god!!! Let it snow with Darren and Chris!! That will be absolutely amazing!!! :))))) can't wait!!
Last year, Dianna Agron didnt appear either in the Christmas album. People said, it was because she's a quite religious jew, and as a jew, she doesn't celebrate Christmas.
Its a pity, but I totally respect her beliefs
yeah...where is quinn???
omg Santa baby by Santana!! that is going to be so hot. and i know Mercedes is going to an excellent job with All i want for Christmas!!! i cant wait ekkkk
This album sounds better than last years. I've always loved "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and wondered when they'd get around to covering it.
Quinn isn't in any of these
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984

Transcript of Joey Porter on ESPN's pregame show
Posted on November 23, 2008
Filed Under Uncategorized
This is part of the transcript of Joey Porter's interview with Keyshawn before today's game. (Wonder if this made its way into the New England locker room….) I post this just because it made me laugh and laugh — he believes he would have had three Super Bowl rings if it wasn't for the Patriots. In other news, Porter believed he would have invented electricty "if it wasn't for that [expletive] Ben Franklin" and could have been voted President of the United States in the recent election "if that Barack Obama hadn't [expletive] screwed everything up for me." Seriously … Porter has become a walking "Onion" punchline.
Keyshawn Johnson: "Let's switch to the New England Patriots game. Is there a big difference in that rivalry of the Miami Dolphins, New England, and Pittsburgh-New England?
Joey Porter: "Yeah, it's a big difference…but I still got hate from when I was at Pittsburgh."
Keyshawn: Why?
Porter: Because I got cheated.
Keyshawn: Cheated in what?
Porter: In both of them AFC Championship games.
Keyshawn: What did they do?
Porter: Come on, man. They've been videotaping for years, man. You cannot sit up there and honestly tell me if it wasn't working, why was he doing it so much? You're not going to sit up there and tell me if I'm a quarterback in my headset I know where the blitz is coming. I know where my hots and stuff is at before it happens. I know what play you're running on defense. All you got to do is be in the right position … just catch the ball.
Keyshawn: So you feel they were cheating. You don't feel they were just the better team?
Porter: What? No, no, no, no. Two times we could have blown them people out easily. They say, oh, he's so smart. This is the best brainstorming coach. Yeah, because he's cheating. He got caught. … If it wasn't so bad, why did you destroy the tape so fast? … We want to see the tapes. When you get rid of evidence like that, there was something in it they didn't want everybody to see.
Keyshawn: So you take it personally?
Porter: Maaan… That's my dynasty. You know what I mean? I could be sitting up here with three rings. This is the way I look at it. I played three AFC Championships — won one, lost two. … Yeah, to me just like they want to put an asterisk on everything else, yeah, I don't care what they say. They have an asterisk on them. … At the same time, people that played against them on the field, we know. Who they got on that team beside Tom Brady? It's not like they've got a gang of dogs over there. … They have a bunch of all right guys. You know what I mean? Not no just real dogs. They've got some beasts on the D line and stuff like that but ….
Keyshawn: You can't possibly think, three Super Bowls … You think they cheated in every single one of them games?
Porter: Man, I'm going to tell you, I'm taking that to the grave, man. I don't care what nobody say…
Keyshawn: What about last year? … All the glamour, glitz and glamour, 16-0. You think they were cheating then?
Porter: I don't know. You know, I don't know… maybe he found a new way to do it or not to tell you the truth. The boy cold, man. He showed us, he's cold. The boy cold, man. Hey, the boy cold, man. (laughs) He showed us man, he cold… I don't trust him…(laughs).

Cannot Use Outlook Backup.NK2 to migrate to new Install of Outlook2003
Hello All,
I'm so frustrated. Today I had to uninstall the trial version of Office 2007 from my new Lenovo laptop. I installed Office 2003 on it successfully.
My problem is something I've never encountered. When I attempted to migrate (not import, as I learned NEVER IMPORT), I was trying to migrate from what I thought was my Outlook backup.pst file. It turns out to be Outlook backup.nk2 file instead, I first saved this file to my desktop as instructed. Then did File / Open / Outlook Data File and clicked this nk2 file. I get an error message.
Then I found this forum and saw a thread about the Microsoft pkbackup utility, which is exactly the utility I used from my old PC using XP pro to do a daily backup of Microsoft Outlook automatically.
I even downloaded the pkbackup utility on this computer today and tried those the instructions I found on a thread here to migrate the file. No luck.
Do I have to convert this file? Why did this utility save my file in this .nk2 format instead of the .pst format? It is a Microsoft utility I found and downloaded a while back as my backup utility for Outlook, which I use for my business.
I'm pretty frightened that all this time, it may not have been backing up as a .pst to file and I might not have what i need to migrate my Outlook files from my XP computer.
Can anyone help me to do this. My backup drive is all I have because my business PC is down.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|19 Jan 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Beverly. I have bad news.
The NK2 file you are looking at is nothing more than the Microsoft Outlook AutoComplete file. As far as I know, there is no email or personal data of any kind inside it.
And I don't know who told you you can't import a PST file... but I've never had an issue. It'll even blend the emails into your new (or in this case old) version of Outlook's current PST.

Boeing 767 Removed From Life Support
The recent FedEx order reflects new thinking on fleet allocation by the shipper, which decided to slow deliveries of 777s to devote its capital resources to more rapid 767 deliveries. As a result, MD-11s that had been slated for domestic service will stay longer on international routes, while the new 767s fly domestic routes.
"The original plan was to bring in 777s and push the MD-11s in the domestic fleet and retire the MD-10s, and that had a very good return," FedEx CEO Fred Smith said in the company's Dec. 15 earnings call. "When the 767 was selected for the U.S. tanker mission and Boeing decided to keep the airplane in production, we looked at that and bringing it in to the middle" between narrow bodies and larger wide-bodies.
"Replacing the MD-10s was a higher return than the 777s and it pushed the MD-11s, if you will, back into the International system," Smith said.
"767s have stayed in service a lot longer than many people thought they would because of delays in the 787," he added.>>FedEx Forecast Backs Up Fed's Outlook Boeing worked with FedEx "for months" on the schedule adjustment, says Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh in an interview with Bloomberg. He said the order enables Boeing to keep its 787 production line operating "in the out years." For FedEx, delivery of the 27 new 767-300F will begin with three planes in fiscal 2014, followed by six per year in 2015 through 2018. They replace aging MD10s that have 30% less fuel efficiency. Delivery of the 777s will be delayed slightly. Instead of adding six aircraft in fiscal 2013, FedEx will add four. Instead of seven in 2014, FedEx will add two. Additional delays are projected for 2015 through 2018. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here:

Your Complete Guide to the 2013 Tony Awards
But for high school theater nerds and gay men like myself, it's the chance to catch one of the few awards shows that still knows how to be both interesting and entertaining.
Granted, neither of those words can be used to describe this year's crop of nominated shows (A Christmas Story for Best Musical? Really?); but do you really want to miss the rare chance to see Tom Hanks and Cyndi Lauper win the same prize on the same night?
If you answered that question with a "no!", continue reading this post for a complete guide to this year's telecast. Otherwise, enjoy baseball, I guess?
Matilda Is Probably Going to Win Although it didn't get the most nominations, Matilda enters Sunday with the best reviews and buzz of the season, which should be enough to take the night's most coveted award, Best Musical. Tony voters love a hit!
But Cyndi Lauper Might, Too Lauper's uplifting score for Kinky Boots also earned raves, and her famous status could give her the edge over Matilda's Tim Minchin in the race for Best Original Score. Seriously, who wouldn't want to see Cyndi Lauper win a Tony?
Neil Patrick Harris Is Hosting After a successful run last year, NPH will take the stage to celebrate Broadway before he does the exact same thing for television at the Emmys this fall.
Best Actress in a Play Is Apparently the Most Competitive Category All five ladies in this category -- Laurie Metcalf, Amy Morton, Kristine Nielsen, Cicely Tyson and maybe Holland Taylor -- have a decent shot at winning. Conventional wisdom seems to agree that 79-year-old Tyson will take home the Tony for her well-received performance in The Trip to Bountiful; but it could also go to Metcalf for her devastating performance as a woman battling dementia in The Other Place, or maybe Morton for going toe-to-toe with Tracy Letts in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' Either way, this one is A Race.
Which Probably Can't Be Said About Best Actor Sometimes, Tony voters can't resist a star turn from a mega-Hollywood player, even when said star doesn't actually deserve to win. In other words: Look for Tom Hanks to charm his way to a victory here for his Broadway debut in the late Nora Ephron's 'The Lucky Guy.' Because, c'mon, it's Tom Hanks!
Scarlett Johansson Is Presenting Speaking of stars: Scarlett Johansson, who won her own Tony in 2010 for 'A View From the Bridge,' is one of the Many Famous Faces who will be presenting at this year's ceremony. Also presenting: Cuba Gooding Jr.; and, yes, Tom Hanks.
Judith Light Could Go Two-for-Two Light finally got her moment in the Tony spotlight last year when she won Best Featured Actress in a Play for 'Other Desert Cities.' Will she repeat this year for 'The Assembled Parties'? It's possible; but with a category that also includes Condola Rashad (The Trip to Bountiful) and Judith Ivy (The Heiress), it won't be easy.
Best Direction of a Musical Is a Toss-Up Will voters go with Matthew Warchus for his edgy take on a Roald Dahl classic? Or will they choose Diane Paulus' inventive work on Pippin, instead? I don't know. I'm asking you.
So Is Best Actress With the four youngsters from Matilda receiving a special award, Best Actress will essentially come down to Laura Osnes, who was great in Cinderella, and Patina Miller, who reinvented a role originated by a man in Pippin. Who will win? I'll actually answer this one and go with Miller, if only because I still haven't forgiven Osnes for her turn in Grease: You're The One That I Want.
That Girl From That Kathie Lee Gifford Musical Is Nominated Carolee Carmello somehow managed to get nominated for 'Scandalous,' a show that closed after three weeks and was written by Kathie Lee Gifford. Which should give you an idea of how weak this season really was.
Orphans Is Nominated; Alec Baldwin Was Not All that backstage drama between Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf resulted in just two Tony nominations for the now-closed Orphans: one for Best Rival of a Play; the other, ironically, for their former co-star, Tom Sturridge.
The Tony Awards air Sunday night at 8PM on CBS.

Recent efforts by Hostess Brands Inc. to use
bankruptcy to discharge withdrawal liabilities totaling nearly $2 billion
highlight a persistent and serious problem for multiemployer plans, a
retirement industry official told BNA.
Employers such as snack food maker Hostess have
tried using bankruptcy to avoid their withdrawal obligations, to the detriment
of multiemployer plan participants, their beneficiaries, and the employers that
continue to contribute to those plans, Randy G. DeFrehn, executive director of
the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans (NCCMP), said in a
Nov. 20 interview.
NCCMP made that same argument in an amicus brief that it
submitted in February to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case In re: Hostess
Brands Inc. More recently, Hostess announced
Nov. 16 that it had decided to seek bankruptcy court permission to shut down
its operations and liquidate its business in the wake of a bakers' union
strike, and that request was approved by a bankruptcy judge Nov. 21, the
company said.
In the case of Hostess, the employer's
withdrawal liabilities are "enormous," and it should not be permitted "just to
dump those on its competitors," DeFrehn said.
Withdrawal liability refers to the statutory obligation of an employer that
contributes to a multiemployer plan to pay off its share of benefit obligations
before it withdraws from the plan. Hostess has
withdrawal liabilities associated with 42 multiemployer plans, according to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
