Net of Insecurity - The making of a vulnerable internet

Net of Insecurity

The making of a vulnerable internet

A three part series by Craig Timberg in The Washington Post

LOpht - These hackers warned the Internet would become a security disaster. Nobody listened.

As the Web arrived in the 1990s, tech giants churned out flawed products, unleashing bugs that persist today.

part 1: A flaw in  the design: The Internet’s founders saw its promise but didn’t foresee users attacking one another, 30 May 2015

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/business/2015/05/30/net-of-insecurity-part-1/

part 2: The long life of a quick ‘fix’: Internet protocol from 1989 leaves data vulnerable to hijackers, 31 May 2016

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/business/2015/05/31/net-of-insecurity-part-2/

part 3: A disaster foretold — and ignored: LOpht’s warnings about the Internet drew notice but little action

« La mejor representación de lo que significa, CALLE allí trabaja y vive una mujer con el oficio más antiguo del mundo. El poeta urbano plantea una nueva visión y un nuevo tratamiento del tema con altura y belleza a la que nos tiene acostumbrados.»

Alessia Lanzetta 2 months ago
« Yo no puedo juzgar esas mujeres porque nosotras somos libres de elegir nuestra vida y conducta moral. Algunas mujeres hacen este trabajo por pasion y gusto,y otras porque han sido obligadas. Al contrario,a mi me dan mas verguenza las chicas que follan con todos por placer que las que hacen esto por trabajo...Pero lo que pienso es que las mujeres tienen que ser mas decorosas,dignas...soy italiana y por eso no se si me entendeis bien...quiero decir  que cuando veo chicas que andan desnudas,tetas culos afueras,que se portan como las gansas sin inteligencia,dejan pasar una imagen,un concepto de mujer que no es tan bueno.Y eso me pone muy nerviosa! Asi que los hombres nos llaman putas! -.- »

Gian Carlo Menotti, The Consul

A conversation today struck off in the direction of bureaucracy, and then "The Consul."

A few years ago, I had watched a nice early-television version on Youtube, but it seems to have been pulled. A bit of searching found some snippets from it - a studio version in German from Vienna Volksoper (1973)

• Menotti: The Consul (Historical Studio Production 1963)
  https://youtu.be/x9txLziIQ0k
• Ljuba Welitsch as The Foreign Woman in The Consul

• From the Vienna Volksoper Orchestra recording

  Orchestra of the Wiener Volksoper
  Conductor: Franz Bauer-Theussl

There are dozens of arias on the tube - Neway's version in English was my favorite
