Why I always disable "Wake On Lid Open" on my MacBooks - ihnatko's SuperTwitter!

This disables the MacBook's "Wake from sleep when lid is opened" behavior. "Why the bloody hell would _anybody_ want to disable that?" you might ask. "What, you often open your MacBook just to check your makeup in the glossy screen?"

Automatic Patch-Based Exploit Generation

Attackers can simply wait for a patch to be released, use these techniques, and with reasonable chance, produce a working exploit within seconds. Coupled with a worm, all vulnerable hosts could be compromised before most are even aware a patch is available, let alone download it. Thus, Microsoft should redesign Windows Update. We propose solutions which prevent several possible schemes, some of which could be done with existing technology.
