Impressive
[Your response says more than anything I could say to ultimitloozer in response to theirs]

Impressive, and all from an open source mechanism.

I am still laughing at Dell for their recent **** up, and of course there have been instances of shrink wrapped/commercial software viruses.

I suppose I am extremely distrusting of any mechanism at all. Or individual/organisation.

From the perspective of organisational psychology, if you meet an individual within an organisation and are left with the impression that they have issues, are sloppy at their work and such like, then look further up the chain of command to find the initial culprit, in the form of their hiring officer. This applies to security, and deliberate/malfeasant hijacking of an organisation, its products and activities.

Granted a volunteer/open source body might seem more likely to be vigilant and honest, but there is often an idiot in the pack. It starts with just one error, of commission or omission.
