why do people run firewalls,IDS or Anti Virus ? no they dont care about security,
they just want to know whats the name of the virus that just hit their box, or see
who may just be accessing their system as obviously noone is trying to be secure.
you really made me realize all i need is full disclosure! who needs patches as long
as you know what is vulnerable. why patch at least you KNOW whats buggy, right?

oh oh i'm hurting people by not releasing the source! damn i'm so sorry!
so any vendor that doesnt go open source is evil in your opinion ?
well if you are so afraid you should start to code and write all the software
that you need yourself.
