Subject: Destroying PCs remotely?
"Senator Orrin Hatch, a Republican representing Utah, asked technology
chiefs about whether they could develop ways to damage or destroy the
computers hearing in Washington on Tuesday"
Whilst this seems a little off-topic, having the US government blowing up
your PC (without "due process" by the looks of it) makes other security
holes pale into insignificance.

What was that? It was the US constitution saying bye-bye...
