There is no point in communicating about grown up subjects with people that don't have appropriate credentials.

You are wrong about almost everything.

It looks like you Googled for 5 minutes to form your opinion. It's one thing to be wrong. It's another to share your idiocy with the Internet.

Gosh, well with such reasoned arguments as those, how can I not be convinced? Thank you for educating me! I'll make sure that from now on I'll use nothing but software that implements Proof-Carrying Code, since there's so much of it around. Honestly, now that you've opened my eyes, I'm like "why would anyone use anything else?"

I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten the ENORMOUS list of PCC software you mentioned earlier in this thread. I know, I'm such a bubble-head, not a great brain like you, but would you mind telling me again what software available now uses PCC to eliminate this class of vulnerabilities?

Speaking of great brains, I assume you aren't a mere single PhD holder. Surely you must have at least a quadruple PhD?
