RE: how we will program in the future

I have a feeling that it I tried Joe, it would then evolve into a 
redefinition of what "taken over" means.  I've got better things to do. 
Out.

And there might also be one that safeguarded against mind control.
There may also be code written into Windows that scans your retina and
taps your phone.  This sort of argument is pretty difficult to use for
anything except conspiracy theories.

Personally, I like facts better than supposition.  I provided an example
of the type of security breach Windows has.  Now it's your turn: provide
us a tangible example of a comparable security breach in which OS/400
can be taken over.

You won't be able to.
