Subject: Weak response from RH

Remember last Wednesday's post labeled "Red Hat Certification for..."?
Red Hat set up their training site so that the training price is displayed
in the URL?

Well, Red Hat responded! Here's how: they added a line to the Web page. 
They didn't change the URL or the price mechanism (you still can amuse
yourself by making it look like Red Hat will pay you a gazillion dollars
to take their course). Here's what it say now:

>Note: Please do not alter the price, date, or location indicated for your
>selected enrollment or it will not be processed. Thank you!

In other words, we know that you can screw with our poorly coded Web site,
and we can't be bothered to fix it, so if you try and fool us we will just
ignore you.

Security by Condescension! Go Red Hat - maybe M$ can try this next: please
do not overflow the buffers in our application or we will not honor your
EULA <G>

FreeBSD rules!
