"stares in infosec"Yeah well, I think this is a "two kinds of people" situation.
1: The computer is a tool that I own. It is a force amplifier of my will. When I say, "Give me a void* to the frame buffer", that's just *table stakes*. It does that, or it does not *belong* to me.
2: You own nothing, computers are appliances for access to corporate services. You must be prevented from exploiting their full capabilities at all costs. It's for your own good: you might do something illegal!
