From: st_lim at stlim.net (Lim Swee Tat) Subject: Bill Gates blames the victim Hi, I'm glad for you that you have yet to get your fingers burnt yet. And I'm again learning that you obviously have a lot of faith in this patching business, which is fine and applaudable. The security community certainly needs people like you to continue having faith. :) On Thu, 2003-09-04 at 02:08, Robert Ahnemann wrote: > Its not so much that I like to patch.

I'm not sure what you are trying to get to, with the latest piece of rhetoric you issued here. Are you trying to advocate patching or patching at exactly the moment there is a problem or... Bill Gates claims people do not patch in time, someone here says that the patches are unreliable... How straight do you want this comparison to be??
