What? The only possible way that constraint could be satisfied (working under any hardware failure) would be if erlang didn't let you write any programs that did anything.
- fnordsensei 11y agoExcuse the aside, but this reminds me of this old Bash quote: <FreeFrag> The most secure computer in the world is one not connected to the internet. <FreeFrag> Thats why I recommend Telstra ADSL. Also, agreed. Some elaboration on that point would be most welcome.

It provides a lot of help, but one still needs to make an effort to assure that, e.g., merchandise is not sent unless an invoice is generated.
