1 October 2003 - security bulletins

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Have you noticed the ever-accelerating rate at which Microsoft fires off patches for Critical Security AK-47 Bulletins? Observe:

1. Software which is frequently changed contains more bugs.
2. Correcting a bug is a change.

If you start with enough bugs, like Microsoft, and control enough software, like Microsoft, then it follows mathematically that the planet Earth will collapse into a black-hatless black hole of bulletins.

Moral: Sell out now!
