Use up the finite oil supply sooner and faster, and maybe that will be just enough of an incentive to implement real alternative fuel. Simultaneously you'll also solve both the Middle East and Texans problems.
I always suspected that buffer-overflowing, a possible security threat, is the result of a backdoor by design. That is not to say that binary-correctable!-code is a bad thing, but I wonder if Ritchie realized the many different ways his wonderful Pandora box will be used.
Blunt warning from the submitter and yet SD editors consider this 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters'?

No offense intended, senior sir. Of course there are a few exceptions to every rule, like the sendmail expert, the TCP/IP expert, etc, but these gurus are the insignificant minority and are not the top-brass guys who decide and determine campus-wide policies. The top IT brass, are the suit&tie guys, the money-getters, the CIS/MIS/wannabe-business-majors-who-couldn't-cut-i t, the (MS)Window-generation, instructed in the fine art of GUI Zero-Administration philosophy.
in a university were administered by the faculty and students (E.E. CompE., C.S.) and not by some IT bureaucrats who couldn't pass Programming Languages 101.
other MS products, in particular, their operating systems.
Any idea in terms of bloat percentage, and speed optimization in current MS OS products due to backwards compatibility?
