Talk:Security Now!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why does this redirect to This Week in Tech? Is it not a totally unique podcast? 137.186.22.19 23:30, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Yes, although this WEEK in TECH is also from Leo Laporte, Security Now! is not part of TWiT. The redirect has been removed now. --82.18.242.139 18:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Security Now! is not part of TWiT, it is only mentioned so Leo Laporte's recognition from TWiT fame is acknowleged.
  • Even though Leo Laporte is on the receiving end of the call or chat, the idea for the show is Steve Gibson as mentioned in a past podcast. Therefore I would nominate Steve Gibson as the host or both Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte as co-hosts.
I believe the files used to be tagged (I say used to as they don't seem to be tagged anymore...) as Steve Gibson with Leo Laporte. Although really I think its kind of a pointless debate, they're both equally important, so why not just list them both as hosts. --Falcorian 17:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Security Now! is a member of the Twit.tv network. 68.184.209.190 03:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode nombering

The special eddition episode is not numbered on the GRC's official security now website. The last episode as of 3/8/06 would be numbered 29, not 30.

I will renumber this in the main article.--BorisFromStockdale 21:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I rewrote this article and I hope I've combined the best bits of both. I converted the episode list into a table from the number list. --vortex talk 13:35, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Nicely done! --Falcorian (talk) 01:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

I agree with Boris, they are on Gibson's page, and they have little place here. --Falcorian (talk) 19:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It was a disruptive edit IMO. --Tim1988 talk 16:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode list

The episode list is now getting quite large so I've made it "hideable". It seems like the list is expanded by default though I do believe it would be possible to have it collapsed by default, allowing the user to show the episode list if they want to. Perhaps this would be better than having the table showing by default? I'm not sure how to do this though. --Tim1988 talk 12:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks good, nicely done. --Falcorian (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Podnova link

The link to the Podnova ratings has changed to http://www.podnova.com/top40/. How are link changes in references sections handled in general? -- Raffen 18:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC) 20:00, May 28 2007 (CET)

[edit] List Updating

The list needs to be updated more often I added 97 but someone still needs to make sure the list stays up to date. --Bob12321 01:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I've been adding them when I remember, however I am not exactly brilliant at writing short and concise descriptions of what was discussed. -- RpgCyco 12:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I will try as well to remember to update the page. I noticed that episode 105 was missing so I added it. As for the descriptions could we use the descriptions on the TWiT.tv SN! page. Or would that be a violation of one of the copyright rules? Lcarsos 04:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I would think that would violate the license wiki works under, so better to just summarize in one's own words. --Falcorian (talk) 06:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mailbag Episodes

Is it a good idea to have a coloured background for the new mailbag episodes? -- RpgCyco 12:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that it would be good to differentiate the Mailbag episodes from the standard episodes just as the Q&A episodes are, perhaps with a different color. Lcarsos 04:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I guess this problem has been solved now, thanks to the mailbag and Q&A episodes being merged into a Listener Feedback episode. -- RpgCyco 03:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

I've noticed in the past, that while we are linking to Gibson's security now page, the dates have been taken from Leo's twit.tv website. Shouldn't the dates be taken from grc.com so it's all consistent? That's my opinion anyway. :) -- RpgCyco (talk) 07:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
