risk-and-effectiveness-for-project-evaluation

Gunnar Peterson has a post from Metricon about Bryan Ware's presentation about combining the effectiveness of a solution and the risk involved. I couldn't find the link to the actualy presentation. (I didn't have the time to go through them all.)

I think I would tie the effectiveness of the proposed security solution to the cost of capital of the overall project. It would be interesting to tie Bryan's work with my "work" on estimating the cost of capital for an information security project.

software-liability-a-bad-idea-that-will-come-too

Time for me to weigh in on the subject of liability for software bugs. Bruce Schneier posted about it here, and Pete Lindstrom responded here. I agree with Lindstrom. It is an incredibly bad idea. Software liability laws will increase the costs of software development so high that it will drive small firms from the market, reduce customer choice resulting in less choice, less innovation and even worse software.
