Re: 268 - Just one note:
“...and the fact he’s a washed-up computer geek who couldn’t even protect against COMPUTER viruses”
Give an example of ANY OS that protects against COMPUTER viruses to the degree you are suggesting. Hint, not many people use OpenVMS any more (and it got affected by the Morris Worn and WANK). It’s not relevant.
(Good robust boundary and type checking help. I remember an instructor in OBIEE showing us how to hack through the initial screen to get at passwords or root or something of that level of calamity. He ran through it at light speed just to show it, not fast enough that we could follow.)
