> Like couldn't you just sit in an airport and open up a wifi hotspot and almost immediately own anyone with ATI graphics?

Some of us do not enable automatic updates (automatic updates are the peak of stupidity since Win98 era). And, when you sit in an airport, you don't update all your programs.

Automatic updates are absolutely not peak stupidity. Most users’ devices would have nasty security vulnerabilities wide open for a much longer period of time without automatic updates.
