      Google better not steal the /. effect from us... they have created a synonym for internet search, I hope a "Googling" won't replace a proper /.ing.

  4. Problem for Security Patches? by Punchinello · · Score: 2, Funny

    It first glance I liked the idea of a law that requires a program to be easily removed. This would make spyware (and some badly written, but useful software) easier to remove when I choose. But then I wondered about certain security patches that say, "Once this Security Patch is installed it cannot be removed." I see this with Windows all the time and suspect it applies to other OSs in certain cases. The law will need to be carefully written to exclude OS patches and the like or we could have a mess.
