Wouldn't it be nice if we even could do anything about it. But that's how democracy works, we've given Bush the right to control our military for the next 4 years, and he will do with it as he sees fit. I think I am probably the only american who isn't concerned with striking back immediately.

Either a packet logger or a quick dump of memory is all you need. Seriously, someone could probably write a quick program that did a memory dump and extracted such games, making it bloody easy for the renting chap to save the program to disk after all.
Oops..... If that question makes the list given to Theo could someone change the typo in the orig so that it says Ken Thompson instead of Brian Kernighan... I had it wrong in the orig (thanks for pointing that out)...
What are your thoughts on Brian Kernighan's paper "Reflections on Trusting Trust"? It almost makes a code audit seem hopeless, because not only does one have to audit all of the code one compiles to trust it, but also all of the code that generated that code (ie previous versions of your c compiler).
Would it be possible to, say, make a very small, very simple (read: no optimizations) cc compiler written in assembly for each architecture, and compile gcc (or whatever our system compiler is) with this trivial compiler first? It seems to me that this would eliminate the problem of having to know whether the entire history of whatever code we were running was trojan-free or not. If this is in fact possible, is it something that you would be interested in having in OpenBSD?
In any event, keep up the good work!

Anyone else remember mirsky's Worst of the Web? Same Steve Mirsky?!? That site kicked ass...
