The world of computer security can often be a strange and compelling one. Many outsiders, or those with little knowledge of computers, just don’t understand the whole uproar over various issues, such as whether Microsoft Vista is more secure then Linux or Mac. It’s all moot as far as the general population is concerned. But, for those of us who work in the industry, it is just more grist for the mill.

Leet will be a leet what ever one might do. The corporate or the business culture rather corrupts his skills.
You cannot do without having a few of them around in the organisation.
The management should have a way to handle these guys, remember you cannot love them, you cannot hate them either.
BTW a Good article.
