Fuck. There's no excuse for some of this crap.
How bout we stop litigating against Trojans and other spyware, at least as
far as corporations are concerned. Or wait, they get a trojan and lose data
then a CTO goes to jail instead. OK, not Cypherpunkly enough...OK, security
or credit card company loses 100,000 cardnumbers to a trojan and an
auto-posse forms to string up that company's CTO.
Joking aside, anti-spyware legislation is making some of these companies
awfully lazy.

So, how long before someone, possibly even me, points out that all
Checkpoint software is built in Israel?
