Notice the guys with their arms pointed up... Kinda a reference to Nazi's if you ask me.
I agree with the overall message that the FCC should allow more free spectrum. If we look at the proliferation of devices on 2.4 and 5.8, we can see the sucess of the unlicense space versuse the licensed space. Anyone want to bet where more money is flowing through? If we took down 2.4 and 5.8, would the economy suffer more than if we took down any other two spectrums?
I agree about the review process. However, the more people that review the technology, the higher the probability that security vulnerabilities are addressed. Of course open source does have the advantage of code level review by anyone who is interested, where "commercial" software is only reviewed by those with an NDA. Usually that means the company is paying contractors.
I love Bruce as much as the next security guy, but no one is perfect. So, I think multiple layers are review are appropriate under any good system. Hopefully driven more around teaching developers how to write better code rather than just catching flaws.
I heard in numerous presentation that export laws have been significantly relaxed. Here is RSA's perspective on the new export landscape. I'm glad they finally made this move, since trying to control public crypto is like trying to catch rain in you hands.
These Nuts are... Nuts. (Not coconuts)
They should make a rule about patent happy companies: If they try to patent a standard or the extention of a standard, then they are suspended from using any of the IETF standards as punishment (Wouldn't that be pretty).
Of course the IETF would need an army of sharks (read lawyers) to enforce anything crazy like that.
Thanks for the BSD link.

I like Paul Hoffer's advice from the response. If Verisign did this, they may try something else slimy. Take the power away is my vote.
ICANN should demand that VGRS immediately stop giving incorrect answers to any query in.com and.net, and should instead follow the IETF standards. If VGRS refuses, ICANN should re-delegate the.com and.net zones to registries that are more willing to follow the DNS standards.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

As far as the RFCs go, maybe the internet architects never thought of this abuse.
That link looks like some XSS to me. Can any web-app-sec folks confirm? Oh yeah, and down with the twits at Verisign
