The South will Rise Again...but Slowly

From Slashdot:

Security researcher Jack Louis, who had discovered several serious security flaws in TCP software was killed in a fire on the ides of March, dealing a blow to efforts to repair the problem. Although he kept good notes and had communicated with a number of vendors, he died before fixes could be created and prior to completing research on a number of additional vulnerabilities. Much of the work has been taken over by Louis' friend and long-time colleague Robert E. Lee.

In other news, it is expected that the Fugitive Slave Law could increase tensions between the North and the South.



Also questionable is the article's use of the phrase of "killed in a fire" rather than "died in a fire". Unless someone purposely lit him on fire specifically, he died in a fire. Or maybe someone strangled him inside of a burning room, in which case he would have indeed been killed while in a fire. You guys know how techlology works: fire murders and whatnot.
