Saw this as a sig while reading Bugtraq today. Rather amusing to see
this kind of problem transcending the centuries:
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray,
Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
-- Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
