It's depressing when both sides get their facts *so* wrong! Either that, or the reporter *wanted* to give that impression, in order to jazz up the article. OTOH, when was the last time that you read an article in any news media at all (which was pointed at the general public, my only qualification here) that had, as it's topic, security, and *wasn't* more than 50% utter garbage? I wonder if maybe there's an article in there somewhere, on just how bad the reporting has been on that topic? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
