Ridiculous Idea 2004-02-04

It is absolutely naive to think that anyone in their right mind would do this. Labour over code and receive a pat on the back. Nonsense. This is not a carrot at the end of a stick rather a pea. With bugtraq depending on how you play the game be it a 0 day you get the thrill of causing a bit of chaos or if you work with a major vendor you get to piggy back on their publicity when they announce the news.

Your scheme gives you nothing. Doesn't spark one iota of motivation. Suggest brush up on psycology one-o-one and learn what motivates people. Otherwise go to a monestry and look for monks who can code for the 'better of mankind'.
