[GLLUG] DNS Provider issues open hacking challenge

[Stanley C. Mortel]

"Nominum software was written 100 percent from the ground up, and by 
having software with source code that is not open for everybody to look 
at, it is inherently more secure."

Wow, what a concept.  Whenever I write a piece of code, I'm not going to 
ever let anyone else look at it.  Then it will be completely secure.  
You should all do the same thing.  ;-)
