I wouldn't expect them to; they are a construct created with the express purpose of optimizing profitability. My goal as a security- conscious consumer is to -make- it the corporation's best interest to fix any problems that would have a detrimental effect on me as quickly as possible. (Please, not another full-disclosure flamewar, I just wanted to post this because it seems to summarise the situation nicely). - --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo () wasabisystems com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: See http://www.treachery.net/~jdyson/ for current keys. iQCVAwUBPC5pmblDRyqRQ2a9AQEZOAP6Aq7kWuOETDBIrN48NzfR9EADk1kV6sRx Jtkg7q9/yleaNTN4NRvT55PS70jYwSDUZbn346L5wJz/6hwMcTWfvjoItuVvlk9s USs8ms3tQbDXRE4MvR64GB2zo5ag46wITrZloHwRbtUOcHpgX7Tty66ZHQ5s4dE0 Q0IZFAAOgKo= =SgIU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - ISN is currently hosted by Attrition.org To unsubscribe email majordomo () attrition org with 'unsubscribe isn' in the BODY of the mail.
