I love this line, but it only works when you count a hole in apache once
each  for AIX,HPUX,LINUX, and every other UNII out there and add them
together.  The same for sendmail, and the rest of the software common to
these systems.  The fundemental issue that Valentine misses here, is
that IBM, HP, Sun, and the open source community respond to security
holes with honesty, and action, rather than marketing fodder.
