    it AMAZES ME, that the security analysts who keep saying there is no such thing as a unhackable system heap laud and praise on every "unhackable *" released. the hypocrisy is not only unprofessional, but it's a grave disservice to people that look to them for direction in securing their networks. remember, there is no such thing as a perfectly secure system, we try, but we are human and thus we fail (And learn). as much as I hate to say it, to an extent the crackers do us a service by keeping us honest. and we do the world a service by trying to send them to jail.

    Read the article moron. It's AIMED at the .NET framework, written in C#. It even says that in the summary!

    Sorry but to post such an article, you gotta be clueless about technology or maybe you just feel like spreading a little FUD.

    Hey, look people, C# is the only language in which we can write viruses. Amazing!
