A reader recently submitted a story from The Reg concerning some questioning of l0pht ? , @stake ? , and the general business of security. The article itself is harsh, but raises some interesting points.

    Everyone here knows how the Reimann Zeta function relates to hacking.... Except me.. Care to explain-- or were you just flaunting your "knoweldge" of math to make others feel stupid?

    The hypocracy. You get these people that say "ya, screw the government, information was meant to be free" and so on BUT then are willing to be governmantal lapdogs when it acts to line their pocketbooks. That's the aspect I mind of some of these "hacker" companies. They like to play pretend that they are in it for idealistic reasons, but are prefectly willing to throw ideals out the window if it will serve to make them more money.
