   ;;    possible was specifically targeted in your code reviews 
   ;;    last year. Do you understand why the flaw that led to 
   ;;    Blaster escaped your detection?"

   ;;    A. "Understand there have actually been fixes for all of 
   ;;    these things before the attack took place. The challenge 
   ;;    is that we've got to get the fixes to be automatically
