    All you /. CS majors with any half-assed knowledge should go work on DRM projects. We will flood the job-market with DRM security specialists, who are secret /. agents. Why?

    Because you will all go out there and proliferate great pieces of trite on how your algorithm is the greatest thing since the chastity belt. Heck it could even be the perfect DRM algorithm. But remember you are all secret /. agents, you will implement the algorithm poorly in the great tradition of software engineering. You will then leak the information to /. as an Anonymous Coward. But we will all know you are a /. secret agent.

    Sorry, /. doesn't have a Q (RIP Desmond Llewelyn), you will have to pick up your secret agent gadgets at Best Buy.
