Go choke on a bucket of cocks

I've posted before about the generally dreadful nature of cryptographic products. Yesterday I got into an argument on bloody Slashdot with a developer about whether he should try to use good crypto or not. Now, unlike [livejournal.com profile] jwz I can see that he's not the only one with attitude in this thread, but the result still gets me down.

Next time you use something that uses crypto, bear in mind that it was probably written by the likes of this guy.

Yes. If this guy has enough cycles to do CBC mode, he has enough cycles for something better.
