The Justice Project has a report on error rates in capital cases from 1973-1995. The report makes a very convincing argument that people who are sentenced to death often don’t get a fair trial at all when they’re initially convicted. Kind of makes you wonder about all of the other criminal trials that don’t get so much attention.
SANS has a list of the top ten security holes on the Web. Anyone whose systems are exploited through one of these holes should have their wrist slapped, because they’re all very well known. Some of them (running an exploitable version of sendmail) are easier to fix than others (badly written CGI programs).
Steve Albini on the major recording labels. A nice complement to the Courtney Love speech I linked to last week.
