'Specially crafted username' opens the keys to the kingdom of FAIL:
Designated CVE-2015-8024, the bug covers "McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), Enterprise Security Manager/Log Manager (ESMLM), and Enterprise Security Manager/Receiver (ESMREC) 9.3.x before 9.3.2MR19, 9.4.x before 9.4.2MR9, and 9.5.x before 9.5.0MR8, when configured to use Active Directory or LDAP authentication sources, allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by logging in with the username 'NGCP|NGCP|NGCP;' and any password", the advisory states.
So, you install a security product and that provides an open backdoor into your systems?

It doesn't matter how *I* got my good seat. What matters is that we set up a PROCESS that doesn't let the riff-raff in!
It's hard to argue with a deep thinking philosopher.

Seriously, who thinks Runaway actually knows with any accuracy who his ancestors are? I bet most of them are illegal ancestors. Like, you know, ancestors without documents, with only a deep and abiding desire to, well, you know, ancestorate. What better reason could there be for restricting Muslim immigration exclusively to Arkansaws? Or Arkansaw and Oklahoma? They already have the greatest numbers of, um, something. No, wait! Kansas! Leavenworth! Guantanamo! Racist bastards!

On the other hand, I find it is always a good idea to give precedence to native place names, and their native pronunciations. Oft I have heard that I am from "Saymous", or worse. Kansas and Arkansas are, of course, the names of the peoples who populated these places, before an unfortunate influx of illegal migrants.
