Because, of course, the present situation is because the Internet was designed by hippies instead of letting the military do the job right. If we wanted to, it would be trivial to write perfectly secure software. The only reason things are so bad is that Microsoft is too cheap to build good software. Software quality is a solved problem and it should be easy to legislate our current problems away. </sarcasm> /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
