People may already know about this...just to be on the safe side, here it is again....

With some software security holes there's an argument that goes "It's so bad that no one should be told." Personally I don't buy
into that logic - word inevitably always get out to all but the right people, and as such any undiscovered exploits remain unknown
to all but the wrong element, until the bug is exposed to the full light of day.

not be set for you. Define your own self worth, let it not be defined for you. Your creativity (i.e., intellectual property) is
yours to do with as you please; in absence of an explicit agreement to the contrary (signed by you) it is not for others to do with
as they please."
