Early Tivo

TIvo used to be called Teleworld... when they were just getting started and hadn't picked its final name.

has the earliest Usenet posts from that company.

Don't call it a hole, call it a window

"In talking of computer security, we often use the term "hole" to refer to a security flaw. We also say vulnerability or exploit.

Instead of calling it a hole, I suggest calling it a "window." As in "Somebody found a window into ssh" or "They got in through a window left open in Sendmail."

The plural is left as an exercise to the reader."
