Zero-day holiday
Kelly Martin, 2006-01-04

A few hundred million Windows XP machines lay vulnerable on the Web today, a week after a zero-day exploit was discovered. Meanwhile, new approaches and ideas from the academic world - that focus exclusively on children - may give us hope for the future after all.

In fact, MIT has stated that the machines may, at some point, be sold to consumers at a higher price. It would be ridiculous to suggest that adults would not have access to them in any case. I am not sure if you read the article completely. Please consider what you are suggesting a little more carefully - as an adult, are you someone who wants to attack and compromise networks of young children in poor countries? Of course it's possible *technically*, but socially it's amoral and irresponsible - and perhaps downright evil. I hope you do not advocate attacks against children.

Best regards,

Kelly Martin
