Now estimate the difficulty of making a not-so-nice ActiveX control, and think about what it could do with the same level of access to your signing key, especially in jurisdictions where digital signatures are legally binding.
True. Networking is one area where Moore's Law doesn't help make software solutions more viable in time, because data rates keep going up. By the time software routing gets fast enough to handle routing of 1Gb/sec networks, everyone will be switching to 10 Gb/sec.
The best way to save it is "rm -rf". Honestly, if you are happy with a piece of code today, two or three years from now you'll put a brown paper bag over your head if you look at it again.
When a human makes a mistake, it immediately pours massive processing power into either formulating arguments about why it's not a mistake or finding someone else to blame for it.
The pigs are just an excuse. Once the countryside is ravaged by fluorescent green pigs, Monsanto will make billions selling stealthy black velociraptors to hunt them.
Yup, Windows XP is really a big step forward in functionality, now that it includes all of the missing features like compilers, decent text editors, spreadsheets, databases, and image editing software, all for FREE.
Way to go, MSFT! Take a bow!

Um, I run Linux on a laptop with a 500 MHz processor and 128 MB RAM.
As long as you're not running Eclipse or OpenOffice, it's Good Enough (TM) to get work done.
Is anyone here old enough to remember how long it took the government to recognize tobacco as a health risk?
Maybe the Presidential Committee for Faith-Based Paleontology can give you a clue.
That's what your program does.

This is good how? A random web page can pop up an ActiveX control that will use your private key to sign something?
Sounds REALLY SECURE.
(Especially since users ALWAYS click "OK" whenever any kind of dialog box pops up.)
Yup. The folks who get credit for inventing RSA were conveniently named Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman.

Oh yeah, well, you're ugly!
Linux: Needs an administrator with at least 2^8 functioning brain cells.
Windows: Needs an administrator with experience in practicing voodoo.
So why is it that all these engineers wrote all of their ancient programs in COBOL?
Hmm???

This is something called "learning".
That is why we actively seek out the smell of cat urine.

Hasta la vista, baby.
Will Google be using the RFC 3251 standard for electricity distribution?
Java is a bad language because servlets are a pain?
Wow, that's like saying C++ is a bad language because Outlook sucks.
Unless the North Koreans spent a couple of extra bucks and bought the technology from Russia.
What makes you think that I'm not evil?
It had a point. You obviously should have shut down before the crash occurred.
When a human makes a mistake, it immediately pours massive processing power into either formulating arguments about why it's not a mistake or finding someone else to blame for it.
Machines tend not to do this.
Shiver me timbers!!! They've caught Peg-Leg Pete, the most famous pirate on the Appalacian Main!!!
Blow the man down!

At least, that's their plan.

Yeah, baby. Tie me to your platform and make me pay.
