Sockz:

Look, I'm not prepared to argue about this. *EVERYONE* knows that Mitnick hacked some Gibsons with his Altair and 
released this worm.

With regards patching systems: have you ever worked in a *real* operations post? Have you ever had developers of your 
main product say to you "no you can't upgrade to SP6a as it's break the main engine". No matter how much you beg and 
plead to get this fixed they don't have the resources. What you gonna say? "Fuck you then I'm unplugging the Live 
servers"?

That maybe ok for you with your funky little OpenBSD box at home running nothing that your toolz and acting as a router 
for your little sister to AIM through, but here in the real world we have to deal with testing cycles, buggy code, 
patches that don't behave as advertised, uptime clauses in contracts, being forced to run damn Windows because that's 
what the Management want and having to support some shitty but crucial piece of code written in VB.
