		<description><![CDATA[Why is it so difficult to get people to collaborate? When coaching agile projects, we always advocate that people collaborate rather than try to find ways to avoid talking to one another, such as by writing documents and making people read them.
The development teams are usually all over this. They want to collaborate with people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve worked with a lot of software development professionals in the last twenty years, and I&#8217;ve noticed a curious phenomenon.   I think we make work harder on ourselves.  It mainly seems to happen with the smarter developers, which makes it all the more puzzling to me.   First, I suppose a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of news lately about botnets. But what exactly is one?
A botnet is a collection of computers that are under remote control. These compromised computers are typically called &#8220;zombies.&#8221; Zombie computers connect to a command-and-control system created by the owner of the botnet, and listen for commands. These commands can direct them [...]]]></description>

Each of these computers is probably sending you spam right now, and many have probably probed your computer to see if it can be compromised as well. Who knows, maybe your computer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the days of yore, security professionals used to be interested in things called covert channels. These are ways of communicating information into or out of a secured environment. Admittedly, most people interested in this also dealt with information that had access restrictions on them called things like &#8220;Top Secret&#8221; and &#8220;Special Access Required&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[For quite a while now, we&#8217;ve thought that cyclomatic complexity was a pretty straightforward thing: less was better. Some recent research, covered over at InfoQ, has shown that maybe it&#8217;s not as straightforward as that.
For those who aren&#8217;t familiar, cyclomatic complexity numbers (CCNs, herein) are really pretty straightforward: they&#8217;re a measure of how many paths [...]]]></description>
