A week hasn't gone by this year that some major data warehouse hasn't been "broken into". When are these people going to start taking our privacy and their security a little more seriously...
It really isn't that bad - it's just that slashdot keeps reposting the same stories over and over again.

Oh and if they used an open source solution and that got cracked, the fault would also be theirs, and they would also get 500 messages on how they used an older (or newer!) release, or because they didn't use an obscure "x" patch which you can find in "y" page, hosted in some east european country and in a language used only in that country... etc.

The same way god felt bad after killing the first born child of every Egyptian? (Exodus 11:1-12:30)
First, Satan is a fictional character I was using as an example. Bugs Bunny would have been better. Second, you really had to go back to the Old Testament for that one. Third, I am really sorry that I smeared the good name of Satan for you there.
So when I use a goofy metaphor to try to describe a group's lack of concern for collateral damage, don't start hitting me back with fictional books, fictional events, fictional characters, and use fictional wrongs against me to counter a slight when I offend your lord, the fictional Satan.
