Oh bah... I think it's time to simply face the fact that your point of view on this matter is not really in line with that of most other folks and we might as well switch to a more productive and amusing line of bizarre claims, like whether or not the russians were the first to invent television or if the Pentium II processor is really alien technology from Area 51. I find either of those subjects to be far more credible than claims that security is anything but the responsibility of the administratory and 100% HIS FREAKIN' FAULT when things go wrong. Sorry, Brett, but at no time during this issue have you even come close to convincing me that anything else is true in your particular case. I agree that negligence was a cause here, I just don't agree that it was on Qualcomm's part (the bug was theirs, certainly, but negligence begins at home). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
