I swear, I don't go lookin for this stuff, but I'm very excited when I do.  Jeremey Allison is a huge supporter of open source code and in my opinion, does -NOT- like microsoft at all.  He's been cautiously outspoken them and their security practices which the obligatory response comes "who isn't?".  Well, interestingly (but not unexpected) enough, he's ran into a big surprise ...his code isn't secure and raised quite a stink.  I'm not dogging him for it, I'd be the first to admit my code isn't perfect (stop laughing!) but at least he's admitted it which begs the question -- did he tell on himself because there was no one else to blame?  Further, its written in C.  Do I think C is dead? Oh god no.  Is it dated?  Probably.  Do I think there's "better"?  Sure.  Is it practical?  mmmm, that's unclear with the answer of "probably not" (anyone got a c#/java version of samba sitting around?).
