Class Breaks
I'm surprised this isn't getting much attention here.<p>There really isn't a technological solution for class breaks. Go big and you replace one kind of class break with another (a top-tier security system for hotel card readers just focuses the attacks on that system). Go small and it isn't cost effective or plausible at scale (everybody install gentoo!  Compile your own kernels!).<p>Honestly, I'm stumped. We rely on these systems more and more to squeeze out every bit of productivity we can get, but that only leaves us at the mercy of our systems.<p>Is it even possible to fix this kind of situation before it really turns on us, or are we doomed to suffer a cataclysm we cannot yet imagine?
