| oiaohm | scientes: when it comes to software securety you find good published papers on software security you find them like at CSIRO and other government funded. | Oct 16 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| scientes | I have read a few vulnerability papers | Oct 16 00:33 |
| oiaohm | scientes: but that is not published on your open anyone can publish journals. | Oct 16 00:33 |
| scientes | its just that writing a paper can be a distraction to actually getting something done | Oct 16 00:33 |
| scientes | but it looks like I have to do it real quick | Oct 16 00:34 |
| scientes | cause this scholarship is biased towards biology/chemistry inexact science fields where papers are more important | Oct 16 00:34 |
| scientes | because you can't just show people the code | Oct 16 00:34 |
| oiaohm | Government funded for military usage equals lot of bureaucracy | Oct 16 00:35 |
| scientes | and lots of pork :) | Oct 16 00:36 |
| scientes | F-35 Lightning II | Oct 16 00:36 |
| scientes | anyways, looks like I have to write a stupid paper | Oct 16 00:38 |
| scientes | otherwise I won't get this scholarship | Oct 16 00:38 |
| scientes | its just that what I'm working on is exciting, but not that interesting | Oct 16 00:39 |
| scientes | But lots of papers are like that.... | Oct 16 00:39 |
| scientes | and not even exciting | Oct 16 00:39 |
