    Really? I'd use something more secure.

    Oh, I know Theo likes to keep telling everyone how secure OpenBSD is, but every time anyone does discover an exploit in it he's quick to point out some ingenious way in which it doesn't really count. He's like that one kid that everyone knew at school who would just not accept that he was "it" when you were playing tag - always some bullshit made-up-on-the-spot rule why tagging him didn't count.

    Don't be that kid. That kid is a dick.
