   Let me put it this way: at the end of my second (last) year there, I   
   wrote a letter to the campus newspaper beginning "To the editor: I hate   
   this university" and went into a little detail about my reasons, and   
   signed it with my real name.  It was published, and numerous students   
   approached me with their opinions on my letter, and -- none of them   
   disagreed with me.

   That was my conclusion, because nobody seemed to be posting anything   
   more about computer security in it.

   I go by my "theory of relativity" which says that there is no such thing   
   as 100% secure (or 100% safe), but one can decide what is relatively   
   "good enough" for any particular situation.
