Except he's enabled WEP because it's "more convenient" for him. It's still a strong signal that he doesn't want outsiders on the network. A better door analogy is replacing the deadbolt with a slightly crappier

The number of shares in an option grant is not necessarily the number of shares in a stock grant. You're assuming the choice is "5,000 options [for a single share]" or "5,000 shares." That's ridiculous. Clearly

I don't understand why there is so much xenophobia about this exploit. A government backdoor would be far more capable and sophisticated than this. Occam's razor applies here: an suid debug binary was left in the production image by acciden
