Here's another way to think about hackers and their usefulness. We are clear in our call out of many things and then we do the job of fixing it. We don't look at a fire burning the house down and walk away saying it ain't so - no, we get the water on the fire to fix it and then we repair the damage. Or, since this is okiebenz, we don't look at our low oil and say it ain't so - no, we top off with M1 or okra water... wait, I already admitted the okra slippery is not good in heat. When someone (hacker) sees a hole in software a fix happens - we don't just ignore or disavow its existence, we fix the problem. That is the usefulness of hackers, I think. They show us the problem that is not known so that the grand program can be fixed. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
