| In the past when I have delivered lectures to web application
| developers I would caution them to never trust user input. Perhaps
| developers took this philosophy a little too far. The entire
| operating system now seems to have turned against the user.
| Zero tolerance drivers and regulation code will lock the system
| down if any type of deviance is detected. So called "tilt bits"
| will signal an attack on the system if anything is found out of
| the ordinary. These changes won't enhance user security
| unfortunately as they were designed to protect only "premium content".
