Subject: And how long have buffer overflows been aro und?

Hey, list, can we drop this thread? Aucsmith's an idiot...I think the 
Internet world has figured that part out already. 

How about this for a thread - Why Microsoft Never Seems to Learn? They
release their crappy software and it gets hacked, then they blame the
community. They allow their spokes-people to speak in public and they 
make asses of themselves ("Developers, developers, ...). 

We're talking about a company that's been around since the early 1980's -
twenty years to get a clue. Even IBM knows better than to stick a person
like Aucsmith out in public; not that IBM doesn't have it's share of
idiots...but at least they have the good sense to keep them locked away 
and out of the public eye. That's what this industry needs - better manners!
Why won't Microsoft learn?
