Remember talking to a Silicon Graphics guy about Linux on big computers. He talked about how there were gaps in the otherwise sequential serial number listings because those went to an agency that didn't exist.
He said that even asking questions at vendor presentations can be a security breech, so he'd present and at the end, someone would ask, "Can you tell us about ... integers?" Then he'd go back, hit everything he could think of, go as far as he thought he could think, and then the question would be "Can you tell us more about ... integers?"
Don't know what brought that to mind, but it makes me laugh.
