The definition of Irony III

Doing some picking through my many sources to mark juicy quotes for the thesis writeup, I come across a real eye-opener.

From Cliff Stoll's 1995 book Silicon Snake Oil, page 107:

What about security on the Internet? After chasing hackers across the nets, I've wondered if computer people would cork up the obvious holes in systems. Sure enough, most of the obvious flaws have been fixed -- hardly anyone sells networked systems with default passwords or built-in guest accounts.

1995. Yep, not many default/guest accounts at the time... or since then. Bwo-ah-hahahahahahaaha-ho-ah-haha-ha. Urgle.
