Reception

The Age said it "might've been a good idea but it didn't come off" arguing the play was more suited to radio and that the actors and sets were not convincing and adding it "lacked conviction - and the climax was missed photographically."[6]

gollark: It seems like a lot of old designs for protocols and stuff like that just completely ignored security, for some reason.
gollark: How fun. There are also apparently some botnets targeting routers.
gollark: I had one which had a telnet interface for managing it and such, which is by itself not very bad, but you could just put `ps ; sh` into the command prompt (they were clearly using `system()` or something) and get root access.
gollark: Consumery router things.
gollark: That would be in line with the security of most consumery things, as far as I can tell.
