Coding simplified

Here's a bit of BASIC code everyone should understand:

10 GOSUB LOOK_FOR_HOLES
20 IF HOLE_FOUND = FALSE THEN GOTO 50
30 GOSUB FIX_HOLE
40 GOTO 10
50 GOSUB CONGRATULATE_SELF
60 GOSUB GET_HACKED_EVENTUALLY_ANYWAY
70 GOTO 10

This comes from an article that divulges many super points about keeping our machines safe -> The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security. Please read this article. It helps one understand the immensity of security problems. Props to Zonk at Slashdot for a great heads up.

Time to return to the bench. Wish the 'n' in the last word, in the last sentence was an 'a'. Embrace Monday and hang on, Tuesday is not too far away.
