1.1. I might, might mind you, out of the kindness of my heart, and because I'm such a nice fellow, given the author of the shoddy script a fix, provided he wasn't the sort of douchebag that deliberately makes his "code" hard to read. Call this a lesson in the theory of "karma's a bitch", maybe next time he releases code, he follows standards.

2. Responsibility for computer code at all times remains with the USER of such code. If you install and run some script you haven't completely read and understood, heck. Your bubblings to the contrary are really akin to the idiots wanting me to keep their children off the "dangerous internet". The internet is for grown-ups. Grown-ups are those people who understand where responsibility lies. Letting children, and you, run amok on the internet is fine, as far as I'm concerned, but their safety is not my problem.

3. Information belongs out in the open. That Bush, Cheney, and you think it's best to try and restrict the flow of information is exactly your problem, much like the belief in a flat earth and an omnipotent benevolent god is the believer's problem. If some women get butchered in China or if some shitty script has a hole in it, the public has a right to know, and you don't have a right to have an oppinon on the matter.

Bloody hell.
