Programming and security
Do you feel that you have adequete information to write secure code? Why do you think so many developers are writing insecure code, despite the large amount of information on the topic? Does it take too long to really learn everything? Is it something that schools are not spending enough time on?

And, do you think the the current trend of managed code environments (the .Net CLR, the JVM) make the problem worse, or better?
