Now that Australia is voting to remove the royal family from the ruling status, they finally do something worthwhile. Maybe we should have options like this in our upcoming referendum: Should Australia become a republic? 1 Yes 2 No 3 No, because they use linux

What kind of programmer can create an entire web based email system, write the code, and bring the whole system to working order, and then ignore one of the basic principles of password choice that has been a major no-no in the un*x (and other) operating system for decades. Mind you I guess it's not surprising when we consider the other screw ups we've seen lately - even in other web based email systems like the recent hotmail scare. All we can do is hope that they will be a learning experience for us all, and that screw ups in the "early" days of the internet for the masses will prevent (or at least lessen the effect of) major security holes in future systems..
