Thank you for all your great work!

I particularly enjoy the sense of wonder, joy, and just plain witty fun that you bring to the show. A great example was your comment in Boise two weeks ago about how the early North American humans lived among saber-tooth cats and other predators. You asked the guest scientists if it was a scary time to be a human, and one of them responded with something like "Or was it a DELICIOUS time, Ira?" You wasted not a a heartbeat before replying to the effect of "Well, there was no beer."

How can you not like a sweet sweet two to the eleventh power?

Why isn’t more work put into securing systems and software during design and implementation rather than fixing and mitigating the resultant vulnerabilities?
