Here Here!!  Not only is the net much more secure now, but this should
teach us all a lesson and point out the potential for something much
worse from happening in the future.  This makes a message loud and clear 
as it cought alot of people with their pant's down.  With the speed of
the Internet now our vulnerability really stands out.

Also a Big Thanks to the people at Berkeley who worked for 36 straight hours
on fixing and releasing the patches to help make the Internet safe once again.

AND GET YOUR DEFINITION OF HACKER RIGHT!!  (A pet peeve of mine)  :-)
