As far as I know no list was ever compiled.  I did security consulting for a
while and got out because it attracts sick people who just want to control
other people's lives.

The principle of security should be that a user should be able to do the job
they need to no more and NO LESS.

I like i18n work because it deals with the people issues.  It is the soft
side of software.  It attracts brilliant and caring people.  These are
people who love to think like others.  To understand other ideas and
concepts.

My mother received death threats when she campaigned against McCarthy.

We are a sick society when we a worried about Janet Jackson exposing her
breast and not one word about the fact that the dance itself portrayed
violence toward women.
