Holding Developers Liable For Bugs

sebFlyte writes "According to a ZDNet report, Howard Schmidt, ex-White House cybersecurity advisor, thinks that developers should be held personally liable for security flaws in code they write. He doesn't seem to think that writing poor code is entirely the fault of coders though: he blames the education system. He was speaking in his capacity as CEO of a security consulting firm at Secure London 2005."

OT: Clinton did not lie under oath

[brlewis]

Under oath, Clinton was given a very specific definition of sexual relations, and according to that definition he didn't have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. Where he did lie was to turn around and say the same thing to the American people. We didn't give him any such specific definition, so he should speak our language.
