According to a survey conducted by security firm Mirapoint and market research company the Radicati Group, nearly a third of e-mail users have clicked on links in spam messages.Shame on people.One in ten users have bought products advertised in junk mail.
The issue is around comments. See, in order for us to ship the code we need to "scrub" the comments and make sure there is nothing bad in there. No swear words, no bad jokes on the part of developers, no references to specfiic customers, no geo-political faux pas. And with well over half a million lines of code, there is just no way we'll be able to get this done. Plus you'll need to do it with each new release, etc. It's a ton of work (and don't bother debating the necessity of all of this, trust me, it is what it is).Hat tip to Slashdot.
