Nobody designed the system to be crackable, but we have a 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics to contend with. There is no such thing as a uncrackable
system.

It isn't a question of 'right', it isn't a pissing contest. It's just a
question of physics. That's the problem with this list, too many people
worrying about pissing rights and not the facts. If 'miller' says so it
must be so...Ever hear the one about a plea to authority and the liklihood
they are correct? Nah, didn't think so.
