According to Nathan Hanks, managing director at Continental Airlines Linux developers are a bunch of potheads.
" Having one vendor throat to choke is helpful in crisis situations, Hanks said. An IT pro can't go to the CEO and say that a server is down, "and hopefully some guy in Amsterdam" will get to a fix when he gets back from the "dope house," he said."

There is no hope for security across the board when stupid companies hire stupid people for critical positions. Flown that airline a couple of times (food on the international flights sucked), but that was very offensive. Dunno, being in the States for 4 years leads to the first impulse to sue...This must be in the burrito's or something :). Seriously, there are other things he says that h needs to prove, like saying all his attacks come from Linux users (funny, most of the crap I get is from Windows vulnerabilities spreading their vile across the 'net).
