FJ!!: UNIX is on your desktop right now

Genius Mike: the services will be tested, and the user-gateway (passwords, windows annoyer or whatever it's called)
FJ!! : well, yes that coding will
but UNIX has been working for a while on not letting memory and pointer errors escalate

FJ!!: kernel wise?
Genius Mike: yes, and library scrambling
and address scrambling
and stack protection
and so forth.
FJ!!: scrambling seems like such a kludge

Who colored the moon taupe? HTML5!
HTML5 is a box of tinctures sold out of a gypsy wagon
