 In certain cases like aircraft where the economic pain of failure

Good point!  That's like how my former employer (BAE Systems) relied
for sales on those who NEEDED a data guard (or whatever) to be on a
platform that passed high levels of common criteria evaluation.  If it
weren't for that, similar software would have run just fine under
Linux (even without SE) or even Windows.

[SC-L] new job!

2009-10-17 Thread SC-L Reader Dave Aronson
Since the Power that Be let me post my plea for job help, I figured
I'd let y'all know the outcome.

Long story short, I have accepted a position at Comcast, in the
National Engineering and Technical Operations group, in Herndon VA
(possibly moving to Reston VA soonish), starting in probably a week or
two.  I will no longer be in a position related to security, but will
still participate here, and in the broader secure coding community, as
time allows -- and keep trying to spread the gospel.  ;-)

Thanks for all your help,
Dave
