If the code is valuable, fine... do what others have said and hire a lawyer to help protect IT.
If you are valuable... that is it is your ability to produce items that is the TRUE value, then I'm afraid I'll have to bring up the good ole Free Software viewpoint.
Last time I checked, people hire me, not my code. If you want to protect your code, use the GPL. If you fancy lawyers... get a job at M$.
There has been a buffer overflow in the Unix login routine for quite some time. This problem affected Solaris 2.5.1 clear through Solaris 8. However, not many patched it UNTIL a VERY simple exploit was created that could be done by ANYONE with a Unix-like telnet client.
In fact, there were a few machines for which we did not have root password and we used the exploit to patch the machine (closing the hole behind us).
Having a very visible exploit definitely helps NOT only the vendor, but the reluctant administrator!
Quality only comes through the finding (exploiting) of bugs. Covering up problems is not the answer. Ignoring problems for which there are no known exploits is also not the answer.
I dare you to put an AIX box external to the internet! Sheesh. M$ doesn't get it... this guy doesn't get it either. The best way to improve quality is with everyone testing things out in the open. If you try to hush up things, nothing gets fixed (as is the case with most of the commerical
*ix platforms) and holes abound. The reason you don't hear too much about the other *ix platforms is because not as many people are interested in hacking them.
A piece of software with no bugs is likely a BAD piece of software... not a good one. So report your problems.... report them all.... or be like M$ and many others who try to hide them as best they can and fix them when convenient.

I did find a picture of the enhanced cooling for the NV50 though:

I hear it comes with a special virtual reality jumpsuit:

Hope they come in other colors besides blue.
All capacitors have what is called an equivelent series resistance, or ESR (great: now we have 2 TLAs that are overloaded in context: RMS and ESR... )
My experience is that anytime you get ESR and RMS in the same room, there's going to be an explosion eventually.
never deleted the rail gun from the final package. And capture the flag is fun... but no deathmatch?? Come on...

Perhaps we're going about this problem all wrong.
You posted the link, print it, read it... (CUPS users should patch before printing)

I setup a paypal account for space station funding, and someone broke in and stole it all. Rats!

Ordinary restores could be a real pain though.

Looks like the boyz from Redmond know a good thing when they see it!! (okay... it's not exactly the same thing... )

Duh... N2 of course!

Hope they're not running on an SS51!
2. Solutions presented are weak and are either worse than the perceived problem, or have weaknesses that are arguably just as bad.
How about a story line like:

Sure am glad that this got posted in lieu of something truly worth our while.

Wow... I guess now all the Debian guys can quit and get real jobs. Thanks for the update!
