Come on, Adam. Do you still not understand that the entirety of almost 
all 'security' fixes is a change to a single character on a single line 
of a single file of source code?

How much more complicated do you need to make it in order to feel safe?

3Com needs it to be so complicated that a 'Digital Vaccine' is required 
in order to make you feel healthy again. Bull. Crap. Lies.
