Thanks.
C continues to get a bad rap. Nice to know at least one person is
addressing the real problem.
And in this case (according to Dave Plummer), the bug was not a buffer
overflow but a corrupted.sys file in the batch-o-updates.
It would be comical if the trouble was related to an infection of Rust
code in Crowdstrike's code or process.

I actually spoke to Bill Gates way back around 1988 when he was in

compared with any mainframe computer languages at the time. I developed
routines for my JCL replacement language atwww.Oscar-Jol.com -See at

I developed and documented some C string routines that I developed to make
them MUCH faster and certainly safer. See here:

We must develop a safer way to keep all this computer infrastructure going
if we are are going to make a better world:www.MakingABeautifulWorld.com

It says so, right on the dollar bill. *But* have you
never seen a sign, "Cash not accepted"? I nave.
In reaction, Colorado passed a law, which should
have been superfluous, requiring acceptance of
cash. Still, some businesses, notably entertainment
venues, skirt the law by providing "reverse ATMs"
on site.
Have you tried to buy gasoline after hours with cash?
