When I hit 30, I realized that I was getting old. Everyday, I would try to remember my childhood and found I remembered less and less. Then I realized that all the fear about getting old was the root cause of my problem. I don't worry any more and... what was I talking about I forget.
When was the last time that a root or TLD server was compromised. Seems that given the past history of BIND, most root/TLD server operators operate in the paranoid mode. I think this really makes the root or TLD server ops finding out about the exploit first irrelevent since it is mostly the ISP level and below users of BIND that would suffer the most.
djb's stuff is not a closed source binary, so yes others do look at his code. If Bind is so good then why is there new exploits every few months. Qmail,djbdns are not huge do everything programs, qmail,djbdns are made up of many smaller programs that do one thing and do it well. It was designed from the start to be secure unlike (cough, cough) bind and sendmail.
If it was has primitive as you say then how could it recognize some random persons voice commands shouted from a distance? FFT aren't "new" technology by the way.
Yes I can confirm that this is false. Way don't you just have them saying "SHUTDOWN" during the demo? Anyway, these voice demos are done using a headset with attached microphone. The microphone has a cordiod (yea I can't spell) pattern which limits the microphones response to noise. Thus this could never have happened becuase the microphone whould never have picked up enough of the voice to get a good pattern match.
It will never happen.

1. Apple would be in direct competition with Microsoft and not just a nitch player like today.
2. Microsoft would strong arm Apple with the apps they produce for Apple (office,outlook,ie).
3. It would be way way faster than W2K on x86 and Microsoft won't let that happen.
Bottom Line, Billy boy says no.
Heck, I use the multiple mailboxes on multiple machines in multiple format principle. That way I can really say, "I guess I either never got your email or I lost it" when I need too.

Tacks? Silly boy. Didn't you see Blues Brothers 2000, it's roofing nails.

I doubt if you will find exploits in djbdns. Given the quality of djb's other software like qmail, there aren't any exploits.
