Compare anything that you saw in the last five years with The Shining and you&#8217;ll see what I&#8217;m talking about.  If Hollywood wants nerds and geeks to flock to the theater, they&#8217;ll have to do better [...]]]></description>

Examine the following piece of seemingly innocent code: str = realloc(str, len); assert(str != NULL); Some of you are probably howling at your monitor by now. Guess [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve often said that proper security can almost never be convenient. In some instances, not following proper practices is effectively breaking the law (HIPAA).
