Since it has the potential to make everyone's jobs here more interesting, I thought I'd bring it up and get everyone's opinion. This company claims to be developing a "security solution" that claims to "fight back" against attackers. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who thinks this is a tremendously bad idea. I'll let you guys tear it apart; take a look at their "white paper" and press release, both of which are dripping with enough war analogies and corporate bizspeak to make any self-respecting techie cringe. http://symbiot.com/ -- John Bishop -- moonwick () lasthome net http://lasthome.net/~moonwick/ "When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty.
