It will not have escaped my fellow half-bakers that some software makers have no sense of security. Everytime a big bug is found they have to change their name to "Lordy, Ain't Our Software Fuller Of Holes Than a Piece of Swiss Cheese Corporation" , or something like that, for a period of time decided
by the court and only payments made out to that name will be processed by the culprit's bank. Seems like a pretty cheap way to try and encourage makers to try a little harder. What do you think?

Sounds like a "punish all who do X," but I just noticed that phrase has been removed from the help file so nevermind. |
|

<obligatory> Sounds like it might be pre-baked. I mean, "Micro-soft"? Really now. </o> |

What exactly is the point of this? Because people don't know that (oh for example) Microsoft's products tend to be buggy and not very secure? |
|
| |
Besides, if they change their name, how will you know to avoid their products? (This would be a special problem if extended to something like the cola industry where every company in the world would henceforth be called Producer Of Dubiously Flavored Flatulence-Inducing Teeth-Rotting Fluid.) |

i'm really keen on "stinkydeath" brand cigarettes. |

Perhaps they should have
"(formerly X)" at the end of the
demeaning name - e.g. "Our chief
executive, when asked how he
could justify the claim "nutritious"
defended this by claiming that our
meals "provide nutrition" (formerly
McDonalds)" |
