Hey ya'll!
Man it's been a while since I've posted to The Purple Fantasy Den, I know. I apologize, I have been lax. Blame it on the flying saucer internet. It won't be for too much longer, I promise. But I'm very happy that I came out of my internet anal-probing (-snorts-) for the BDSM Blog Hop. I still remember when it began (last year-yes, I know I sound like an old man, just go with me here) it started off with an idea, someone read an article told someone else to read it, a conversation got started, it got shared on Facebook, people kept sharing, kept talking and before you knew it, a movement had begun.
Many of the most extraordinary moments in history have started off that way. Someone heard someone else share an opinion about another person's lifestyle, beliefs, relationship, family, child… skin color, and didn't think they had a right to feel that way, to express themselves in that manner, to act the way they had. To burn crosses. To beat up gay people or arrest them. To toss them into mental institutions.
To declare that those of us who indulge in the kinkier side of life are deviant or violent or serial killers, or unfit parents. That many of us have great communication skills and self-control and most of the relationships that have a BDSM foundation are extremely healthy.
Last year, I took you through guided tour of different parts of the BDSM world and many of you liked that. So much so that many of you wrote to me and shared stories, asked questions (asked me to be your Dom… you know who you are—yeah… you), asked about munches in your area and websites and even other books out there you could read. It was fantastic and really made me smile.
This year, I wanted to talk about something else, however, the two different sides of the BDSM coin. Those who are in the Lifestyle and those who know just enough to be dangerous.
This is going to be short and sweet so don't worry, and it's still going to have that Vic-charm too.
Now, one of the things I love most about people in the community is that for the most part we have no problem with people asking questions in order to learn more. We don't want people attempting something and getting hurt, we don't want them writing something incorrectly because then people try it and get hurt (-clears throat- The book that shall not be named –clears throat-), and we don't want people assuming that anyone can do it. This isn't QVC people. You can't just buy the package as is, open it and instantly know what the fuck you're doing. You need training. Everyone does. From the Doms down to the subs. Masters. Slaves. And everyone in between.
So I love that you can find someone, make contact with someone and say "I'm new to this, I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing and I need someone to train me," and they won't laugh at you, they'll just say "Okay, let's help you out." Even if you've been in the Lifestyle for years, decades, centuries… okay, maybe not centuries, because seriously? But, whatever, even if you've been in it for a long time, and something has changed, or you want to learn something new, or train in a different area (learn to use a whip, or if you're a sub, train in service instead of just pain), then members of the community will do that for you.
There is an openness and a trust there that isn't found in other communities, I'm sorry to say. I've had people in the BDSM community stand at my back and grab my arms (and this just happened last year) as if to demonstrate putting a rope around them and I trusted the person that was doing it because she was a member of the community. If it had been anyone else? They would have been knocked the fuck out, no questions asked.
So, when you are in the community and you have been trained you know certain things, you know terminology, you know body language, you know hand signals, etc. There are things inherent within us because we have been through that training. It isn't something we lose or forget even if don't do a scene for a while. Whether we are a sub or a Dom. A sub can read their Dom and vice versa. There are code words, visual cues even within the community. Granted, some of these change as the community is embraced and matures, as all things do and some are resistant, but you will find that there are some tenements that many of us will always hold true to (Safe, Sane, Consensual, or Risk, Aware, Consensual, Kink).
But we twitch (I growl) when we come across what I like to call the "Wikipedia-website experts". The ones who get their knowledge from what they've learned from typing in "BDSM" online into the Google search engine.
"BDSM is a variety of erotic practices involving dominance and submission, roleplaying, bondage, and other interpersonal dynamics. Given the wide range of practices, some of which may be engaged in by people who do not consider themselves as practicing BDSM, inclusion in the BDSM community or subculture is usually dependent on self-identification and shared experience. Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle." (Wikipedia's definition of BDSM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDSM)
They tell us that we're wrong about the very community and lifestyle we have been trained in because "Wikipedia states…" or "Merriam Webster defines BDSM as…" or "Dr. No-Name-Stick-Up-His-Ass says that those who indulge in BDSM are…" and then they caution us or they applaud us or they stare at us warily. Or perhaps they gawk at us. Maybe, they even try to tell us how to do it better because they read a book that they bought on Amazon that was published after The-Book-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named by someone who read the book and tried out some kink, enjoyed it, tried out a little more, and then wrote a book about it all and now the book's selling like hotcakes.
Whatever the reason, this person knows just enough about BDSM to be dangerous. They know a lot of the terminology because Wikipedia wouldn't be such a popular site if they didn't get a lot of it right. They know about things like aftercare, and different floggers, cock-cages, ballgags, whips, hard-limits, soft-limits, negotiations, etc. Maybe they even know about the collaring-ceremony. They may have even found the BDSM Blog Hop and read some of the blogs and learned a lot that way, but while reading these things online and even in a book is great, there is no way you can try to tell someone who has gone through the training that you know better than them because you read something online about it.
There are bad seeds in every community. I've had countless conversations with people where I've had to point out to them that if you want to see the bad in a certain race, gender, sexuality, lifestyle, religion, age group, shape, etc. then you will. Granted, at the time this person was talking about black people, but the truth applies here too. The number of those who take things too far is miniscule to those who see BDSM for the beauty that it really is. And as my Granny always said, you can't let one bad apple spoil the bunch. So when you come across an article online, perhaps you read something and it causes you to jerk, or stop and you want to go to someone in the Lifestyle or even someone not in the Lifestyle or merely talk to someone about BDSM as if you have full-knowledge of everything.
WAIT! Before you do that. Stop. Breathe, Obi-Wan. Slow down Arya Stark, before you stick Needle into someone's neck, take a second to think and find someone who has training and present the information to them. Don't beat them over the head with it. You don't have to talk to them as if you know better.
However, you can ask them about it. As I said, we have no problem talking and answering questions, thus the reason for this blog hop, to give out information, to put names and "faces" to those with the knowledge and many of us with the training so you can come and ask us your burning queries. So asking something like "I read online that Doms are robots and don't cry. Is that true?" Is totally fine. Instead of saying "You said your Dom cried? Well, he's obviously not a real Dom, because I read online that Doms are robots and don't cry at all."
See the difference?
The assumption that what you read online about the community is what is true is not reality. Just recently, as a matter of fact, I was browsing Netflix and was stunned by the number of titles I heard that were BDSM-centric. I didn't know if this meant that we were being embraced or if every last movie was going to piss me off. Because I know myself (and really, I don't have the cash to replace electronics if I keep throwing them across the room in anger), I contacted a friend of mine and told him about the movies. He and his wife are both in the community so they watched them together. He called me back and said one word: "Run." LOL.
So, I encourage you to find someone in the Lifestyle and ask them your questions, they would be more than happy to answer them.
By the way, the question about Doms being robots? Not true at all. Doms are human and they are fully capable of crying. Believe me.

WARSAW Oct 18 Poland's third-biggest utility Enea has signed a 950 million zloty ($303.4 million) 10-year credit line with the European Investment Bank to finance an upgrade of its energy distribution network, the company said on Thursday.
"The programme will make possible the connection of some 25,000 new system users per year, contribute to meet the challenge of the increasing demand for services," the EIB said in a statement, adding that it would also improve reliability of the power supply by around 30 percent and help to reduce energy losses.
Local utilities aim to invest an estimated 100 billion zlotys or more by 2020 to replace Poland's outdated power plants and to create new sources of energy.
($1 = 3.1308 Polish zlotys) (Reporting by Maciej Onoszko#; writing by Dagmara Leszkowicz; editing by Jane Baird)

The Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to publicize complaints
Hal Stratton, Chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), shows a pair of childrens shoes that have been recalled because of the metal eyelet that can come lose posing a choking hazard during a news conference.
JEREMY HOBSON: Today, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is going forward with a controversial plan to make public the thousands of complaints it receives every year about defective products.
Our Washington Bureau Chief John Dimsdale reports.
JOHN DIMSDALE: The product safety agency will post complaints about defective merchandise within 15 days of receiving them. Consumer groups say that will help warn customers about everything from dangerous baby cribs to toxic drywall. Right now, the public has only limited access to complaints and consumer advocates say it takes too long to figure out trends that expose defective products.
But Rosario Palmieri at the National Association of Manufacturers says there are no safeguards to make sure the complaints aren't made by competitors or even trial lawyers looking for business.
ROSARIO PALMIERI: We fear that some with political or financial motives might use this database as an opportunity to falsely malign particular products, companies or brands.
The CPSC says companies will be protected from false accusations or the disclosure of business secrets. And manufacturers' responses will be listed alongside each complaint.
In Washington, I'm John Dimsdale for Marketplace.

Interested in Hue?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Hue each week.
Topics include Transportation, Dining Scene, Vietnam: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Listed by UNESCO in 1993 as a World Heritage Site, Hue's main attraction is the Citadel. The Citadel is at walking distance from the city downtown and you can walk across the Perfume River using the Trang Tien Bridge. You can also ride a bike or get by boat.
The Citadel dates from the times of Nguyen empire that ruled the region from 1802 to 1945 when the last king was forced to abdicate during the August Revolution. It was the capital of the empire. Walking along the streets and admiring the remaining buildings will certainly take you to old times that you probably watched in movies. Don't miss visiting the Flag Tower, the Royal Palace and the Royals Tombs. After the walk, relax where the Emperors did at Tinh Tam lake.
Unfortunately, many buildings inside the Citadel (specially Hue's Forbidden Purple City) were destroyed during 1968 Tet offensive. The following government did little to preserve the remaining or restore the damaged ones.
Other attractions are the toms and the pagodas that you can visit cruising the Perfume River, by car or by bike. They are about 1 mile south of Hue.
For more recent historical sites, visit the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) north of Hue.

Stars Ask President Obama to Tackle Drugs and Mass Incarceration
Russell Simmons, Will Smith and other artists and elected officials urge President Obama to reform criminal justice policy; Chicago must pay $55,000 to woman tased by police; and ex-FAMU band members have pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. — Natelege Whaley
Russell Simmons, Will Smith and Sean "Diddy" Combs are among a coalition of 175 artists, athletes and elected officials who have penned an open letter to President Obama about the U.S. criminal justice policy. They are urging him to reform a system that leaves 500,000 of the 2.3 million people behind bars incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses.

Sexual Risk Behaviors of HIV-Positive, HIV-Negative, and Serostatus-Unknown Black Men Who Have Sex with Men and Women
Research and Evaluation, Philadelphia Health Management Corp., 260 S. Broad St., 18th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102, USA.Archives of Sexual Behavior (Impact Factor: 3.53). 10/2008; 37(5):708-19. DOI: 10.1007/s10508-008-9365-6

Black men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) are at high risk for HIV infection and transmission. This study compared the sexual risk behaviors of Black MSMW who self-reported being HIV-positive with those who reported being HIV-negative and those who did not know their HIV status. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was used to recruit 1,154 Black MSM in Philadelphia and New York who completed an audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI). Of these men, 212 had engaged in anal sex with male partners and vaginal or anal sex with female partners in the past 3 months. A quarter (23.6%; n = 50) of MSMW self-reported testing positive for HIV at their last test, 59.4% (n = 126) reported testing negative for HIV at their last test, and 17.0% (n = 36) reported never having an HIV test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that HIV-positive MSMW were much less likely than HIV-negative men and never-tested men to have engaged in unprotected intercourse with main male and main female partners perceived to be HIV-negative or of unknown serostatus. However, HIV-positive men were equally as likely as HIV-negative men to have unprotected intercourse with non-main male and non-main female partners perceived as HIV-negative or of unknown serostatus. Our findings indicate that some HIV-positive MSMW engage in unprotected sex that places female and male partners at risk for HIV infection. However, MSMW who have never taken an HIV test, or who have not been recently tested, may be a greater source of HIV transmission to their female and male partners.

- "HIV-positive GBM by looking at multiple layers of influence (individual, community, and structural). Previous research has also demonstrated that GBM who do not know their HIV status are more likely to report greater HIV risk (Lauby et al., 2008). A systematic review of qualitative evidence suggested several reasons GBM do not know their status (Lorenc et al., 2011). "
- "Assuring consistent condom use among sexually active HIV-positive young men is therefore an important public health priority to eradicate the epidemic. The reported rates of risky sexual behaviors among HIV -positive and HIV -negative adult MSM have varied across existing studies (Kral et al., 2005; Lauby et al., 2008; Mansergh et al., 2010; Myers, Javanbakht, Martinez, & Obediah, 2003; Ostrow, McKirnan, Klein, & DiFranceisco, 1999; Williamson, Dodds, Mercey, Hart, & Johnson, 2008). Among adolescent and young adult MSM, few published studies have examined differences in sexual risk-taking in relation to serostatus. "
Article: City Project Study Team. Risk and protective factors related to HIV-risk behavior: A comparison between HIV-positive and HIV-negative young men who have sex with men[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to assess and compare the prevalence of high-risk sexual behaviors among young HIV-negative (n=8064) and HIV-positive (n=171) men who have sex with men (MSM) on predictors of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI). Using venue-based time-space sampling, 8235 MSM aged 15-25 were anonymously surveyed as a part of the Community Intervention Trial for Youth (CITY). The Project was conducted in 13 communities across the USA from 1999 to 2002. Forty percent of HIV-positive men and 34% of HIV-negative men reported that they had UAI in the previous 3 months. HIV-positive MSM were more likely than their uninfected peers to have traded sex within the previous year, to have had sex while high during their last sexual encounter, and to have UAI with a greater number of partners. Multivariate analyses indicated that for HIV-negative men, positive peer norms regarding safer sex and being Black or Latino predicted avoidance of UAI. Among HIV-positive men, having social support for safer sex and positive peer norms predicted avoidance of UAI. Young HIV-positive MSM are a relevant subgroup for prevention because they constitute a significant source from which future infections could be generated.AIDS Care 01/2012; 24(5):544-52. DOI:10.1080/09540121.2011.630341 · 1.60 Impact Factor
- "We also found HIV-positive men were more likely to report having HIV-positive main and casual partners than HIV-negative men. The use of serosorting (i.e., choosing to have sex with only HIV-infected partners) as a strategy to reduce HIV transmission has been documented in several studies (Elford, Bolding , Sherr, & Hart, 2007; Lauby et al., 2008). While HIVpositive serosorting does not present a risk of HIV transmission to uninfected persons, it does present additional risks that may not be well known within the AAMSM community. "
Article: Differences Between HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative African American Men Who Have Sex with Men in Two Major U.S. Metropolitan Areas.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Alarmingly high HIV prevalence rates among African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) require the development of effective prevention interventions. In this study of AAMSM conducted in two cities, we explored similarities and differences between HIV-positive and HIV-negative AAMSM on sociodemographic variables, HIV-related risk behaviors, and attitudinal constructs. Differences emerged in several major life areas: (1) poverty, employment, and use of mental health services, (2) sexual risk behaviors, and (3) self-identification with gay identity and culture. With regard to sociodemographic indicators, HIV-positive AAMSM were doing worse than HIV-negative AAMSM in that they were more likely to be disabled, to be living below the poverty level, and accessing mental health services. With regard to risk behaviors and partner characteristics, HIV-positive AAMSM were acting more responsibly than their HIV-negative counterparts, as they were more likely to have used a condom the last time they had sex. In addition, when compared to their HIV-negative counterparts, HIV-positive AAMSM were more likely to have either no casual partners at all or main or casual partners who were HIV-positive, thus preventing new HIV transmission by partnering with other HIV-positive men. Attitudinally, HIV-positive men were more accepting of their sexual attractions to men and were more likely to identify as gay than their HIV-negative peers. Although causality cannot be determined, the findings of this study can be used to strengthen HIV prevention efforts by improving the selection of targeted behaviors and prevention messages for HIV-positive and HIV-negative AAMSM.Archives of Sexual Behavior 12/2011; 42(2).

Speak Out on Hine School Development Tomorrow
Tomorrow, the public is invited to comment on the various development proposals promoting hotels, retail, housing, and subsidized non-profit office space for the Hine Junior High School site, an important parcel between Pennsylvania Avenue and the shiny, new Eastern Market on Capitol Hill.
It's so important, in fact, that nine development teams originally competed for the land, 200 people showed up to see the finalists, and I've written about the Hine site, oh, 10 or so times in the last few months.
The meeting tomorrow is hosted by ANC 6B, which will vote in support of one of four remaining proposals by the gathering's conclusion. The general public comment period for the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development has been extended to July 10, according to ANC chair David Garrison.
Is there a clear favorite already? Depends how you evaluate.
"We've received a lot of e-mails in support of the Stanton proposal," stated Garrison, "But I can't judge whether that represents broadscale community support, or just a more organized effort."
Local community group EMMCA (Eastern Market Metro Community Association) seems to be favoring a plan by StreetSense/DSF/Menkiti Group, which I termed "The Fancy Stuff Plan."
It's "the most respectful and reflective of our historic neighborhood" with "the lowest height and massing along Eighth Street, in an effort to preserve the street's residential character," according to a note on the group listserv stating various pluses.
The other proposals come from the National Leadership Campus, a plan for subsidized non-profit office space and subsidized housing for non-profit workers; And a plan conceived by The Bozzutto Group and others (the image is above).
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Old Naval Hospital, 921 Pennsylvania Ave SE.

Dr. Park says surgeons who perform laparoscopic surgery face constraints that are not part of open surgery. "In laparoscopic surgery, we are very limited in our degrees of movement, but in open surgery we have a big incision, we put our hands in, we're directly connected with the target anatomy. With laparoscopic surgery, we operate by looking at a video screen, often keeping our neck and posture in an awkward position for hours," says Dr. Park. "Also, we're standing for extended periods of time with our shoulders up and our arms out, holding and maneuvering long instruments through tiny, fixed ports."
Study design
A comprehensive 23-question survey was sent to 2,000 board-certified gastrointestinal and endoscopic surgeons in North America and abroad who are members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, a diverse group of experienced laparoscopic practitioners. The questions were grouped in four categories: demographics, physical symptoms, ergonomics and environment or equipment. Some questions required single answers, such as "Have you ever had any physical discomfort or symptoms you would attribute to your laparoscopic operating? Yes/No." Other questions allowed selection of multiple applicable answers.
Study results
Of 317 surgeons completing the survey, 272 (86.9 percent) reported experiencing physical discomfort or symptoms they attributed to performing minimally invasive surgery. The discomfort ranged from eye strain to problems in the surgeon's dominant hand, to neck, back and leg pain. A few surgeons also reported headaches, finger calluses, disc problems, shoulder muscle spasm and carpel tunnel syndrome. Age played a role in hand problems, with younger surgeons and those over 60 at

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Osgood Takes His 'Helmet' With Him
by Paul on 07/29/11 at 09:35 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Denis Grignon of the Toronto Star,
To that exclusive group of NHL goalies — a club that had withered to one until Chris Osgood's retirement last week made it zero — it's simply referred to as "The Helmet."
The Detroit goalie's three Stanley cups and 401 wins should stand as his crowning achievements. But it may be that round and red head bucket and white wire face grill that many fans will remember him for first.
What was originally the Cooper HM30 wasn't always perceived as an antiquated piece of goalie gear that belonged in a display case. Once it was seen as futuristic, as evidenced by its appearance in the first Tron flick and the original Robocop.
"We'd look at our reflection in the glass and think, 'yeah, this is cool,' " reminisces Osgood about his time playing junior in Medicine Hat, about wearing the helmet and cat's eye cage combo, which morphed into Bauer and Winwell versions in later years.

According to Gene Frenette of Jacksonville.com, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew said he's "back to normal again."
Fantasy Spin:
"There's no pain in my foot," he said. "I'm cutting great, no swelling." Jones-Drew held out through training camp and the preseason last year, returned for Week 1 and then suffered a Lisfranc fracture after six games. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable selecting him in the mid-second round this season.

Posted by Becky on 23rd Aug 2015
I've been using the Essiac Tonic since July 1st and almost immediately I could tell a difference. My energy is not entirely back but I'll take what I can get. If I hadn't started on the Essiac Tonic when I did, I'd probably still be laying on the couch with another season just passing me by. I had enough energy this summer to go boating, movies, hiking and working in the woods with my niece and nephew. This would have never happened without the Essiac Tonic, I'm sure.
Anyways, thanks for responding and I'm glad I can continue to take it.
With a grateful heart,

A subgraph isomorphism algorithm and its application to biochemical data

Graphs can represent biological networks at the molecular, protein, or species level. An important query is to find all matches of a pattern graph to a target graph. Accomplishing this is inherently difficult (NP-complete) and the efficiency of heuristic algorithms for the problem may depend upon the input graphs. The common aim of existing algorithms is to eliminate unsuccessful mappings as early as and as inexpensively as possible.
We propose a new subgraph isomorphism algorithm which applies a search strategy to significantly reduce the search space without using any complex pruning rules or domain reduction procedures. We compare our method with the most recent and efficient subgraph isomorphism algorithms (VFlib, LAD, and our C++ implementation of FocusSearch which was originally distributed in Modula2) on synthetic, molecules, and interaction networks data. We show a significant reduction in the running time of our approach compared with these other excellent methods and show that our algorithm scales well as memory demands increase.
Subgraph isomorphism algorithms are intensively used by biochemical tools. Our analysis gives a comprehensive comparison of different software approaches to subgraph isomorphism highlighting their weaknesses and strengths. This will help researchers make a rational choice among methods depending on their application. We also distribute an open-source package including our system and our own C++ implementation of FocusSearch together with all the used datasets (http://ferrolab.dmi.unict.it/ri.html webcite). In future work, our findings may be extended to approximate subgraph isomorphism algorithms.

The triumph of convenience
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
A few years ago, my neighbors asked for help securing their computer. They were running Windows, so my knowledge was limited, but I did set up a separate administrative account and add passwords to their regular accounts. When I looked at their computer a month later, they had removed both -- and were back to getting viruses and malware along with their movie downloads. Their explanation? That my simple safeguards were "too inconvenient."
"Let me get this straight," I wanted to say (but didn't). "It's too inconvenient to spend ten seconds typing a password, or twenty logging into a different account to install software. But it's not too inconvenient to have your computer at the shop every few months to scrub it clean and to sometimes lose files because you haven't bothered backing them up."
Partly, I didn't say anything because telling off people I see several times a week would have been awkward. But mainly, I didn't bother because I knew I'd be wasting my time. I've learned through experience that, asked to choose between short term convenience and ongoing security, the average user chooses convenience every time.
This is hardly news. You only have to consider how many people use obvious passwords -- either personal information like their pet's name or date of birth or something like "qwerty," "abc" or even "password" -- to realize that they are unclear on the concept. If they do choose a better password, then you can bet that they leave it taped to the underside of their keyboard or on a post-it in the top-drawer of their desk. Even using a password manager is often too much trouble.
It's not that security is hard. Several weeks ago, I was exploring Tails, a distribution designed to maximize security and privacy. Tails' methods were thoroughly documented, but anyone who cares to spend a couple of hours reading all of it would come away with a sound basic knowledge of the issues and solutions.
The trouble is, most people won't take the time to read, much less implement the necessary precautions -- and that effects how computer interfaces are designed, and how operating systems are implemented, regardless of the security built in to them.
Security in retreat
Part of the problem, of course, is that most people's expectations are conditioned by the Windows releases of twenty-five years ago -- operating systems designed for single users that were as wide open as a canopy.
Those were simpler times, and even Windows has evolved better security (even if the effort has often been like adding a foundation after the house was built). But the expectations established at the start of personal computer era are still very much with us. Measures that seemed reasonable in the institutional settings in which Unix were born are apparently unacceptable in the home, where everything is expected to work as effortlessly as a TV or any other appliance.
In fact, as soon as the desktop is considered seriously, the pressure of convenience starts to erode security -- even security built into the design. The history of Linux could be written as a series of retreats from well-established security practices in the name of making the desktop more convenient.
Few of these retreats seems major in themselves. Automount external drives? Let all users burn CDs? Why not? Never mind that these restrictions were based on best security practices. Other operating systems have these features, and people expect them. Yet all the changes for the sake of expediency add up until now I suspect that many Linux distributions run only marginally more securely than Windows, if at all.
Meanwhile, projects like Bastille Linux, which everyone used to run immediately after installing a desktop machine, have been relegated to servers. Today, most people would find the idea of running Bastille on a desktop machine distinctly odd -- and the results too restrictive.
Just as seriously, given the triumphal march of convenience, the type of security emphasized has changed on Linux. Like most Unix-like systems, Linux once emphasized architectural security, if not as much as operating systems such as FreeBSD. It was built and configured to prevent breaches of security in the first place. Users might choose to relax security, but the default settings were designed to lock down the system as much as practical.
By contrast, today Linux relies at least as much on reactive security, just like Windows does. Instead of striving to be impenetrable, it relies at least as much on frequent updates and, on servers, anti-virus protection. Yet even though these precautions are automated and simplified as much as possible, they are frequently ignored. And don't even think about encouraging a regular system of backups -- that is so obviously a non-starter that developers don't even try to enforce a regular cronjob for such a basic pre-caution.
It's not, you understand, that I'm paranoid, or think that enduring a few hardships in the name of security builds character. I can be as lax as anyone in taking precautions, although every few weeks I suddenly realize that I'm overdue to make some basic efforts.
Nor am I die-hard command line advocate. I understand that suggesting that everyone avoid the desktop would be useless and make me a hypocrite besides.
Still, I wonder if, by imitating a convenience-oriented rival while maturing, Linux has missed some opportunities to build an operating system that would serve its users' better interests. Somehow, I would be more comfortable if I could think of a single case in which architectural security was chosen over immediate convenience.comments powered by Disqus

Joy Comes in the Morning
Psalm 30 (New King James NKJV)
1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried out to You,
And You healed me.
3 O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
5 For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.
6 Now in my prosperity I said,
"I shall never be moved."
7 LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried out to You, O LORD;
And to the LORD I made supplication:
9 "What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
LORD, be my helper!"
3:33 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
