It's a gray area. Some security flaws may never have been discovered if it wasnt for a hacker.
It might be possible that the day will come
that a system, due to so many hacks, has become full-proof..
However, a hacker, that makes a stupid format c:\ type virus should be hung.
I say, allow protocol based hacking, but if you touch files directly or indirectly then you
go down.
I totally agree that open source is great for the programming community, and it definately has it's place. But in the years to come, programmers who have spent years learning and perfecting their 'art' will be nothing more than tv repair guys.
Microsoft is scared, yep, im sure their time is coming. But where will you and I end up 5 years from now ?
This book is not designed for the IT world, but for the general public.
For management or others it is an excellent resource to justify a telecommuting policy or practice...
I agree: after 15 years of fulltime coding,, reading something like this is refreshing,, it lightly takes you back to when we dreamed about what it would be like having something more than a 2400, and all the cool things we can do with it.
It's easy to get too focused and lose the ability to imagine the end users perspective.
My two cents, i reckon it might just be worth reading it.
The one I had last week: my faithful toshi notbooks screen was screwing up ( jumping up and down, like it was on something ). Trying my best to work out what was on the screen, got fed up and reached for my rescue disk, hoping it was a driver issue. Not sure what i did, but next thing i know,, the progress bar is showing 10% formatting.
lovely.

I would have thought n.a.s.a was bigger than anything slashdotter's could dish out. impressed!
