How about making it a felony to sell or otherwise provide software for
commercial use that contains buffer overflows ?  Or make it something you
cannot "disclaim" - it should be part of the exercising of due diligence
every software company has to get them out of software before releasing it.

I'm actually half serious about this.

It's time to start raising the bar.

I'm all for raising the bar for better software, but some times sh*t happens, most programers are people and they invariably make mistakes..we don't want to scare honest developers away from making software for fear of being sued.
