Re: [Cs-club] Why IRC is blocked on campus

So when I talk about the irony of Microsoft security, everyone will understand 
now what I'm talkng about, right?

Ok, so it's not completely a matter of Windows being insecure (because we all 
have insecurities in life :) ), but more a matter of educating users about 
protecting themselves?  Is it  possible to educate people on this sort of 
thing?  It seems to me that that would the best way to handle security 
problems.

Slashdot just recently had some articles about university and college internet 
connections, including one where a college completely banned Windows NT/2000 
due to insecurities (why they didn't ban Windows 98/95 either beats me.)
