Charles Miller says that there's no silver bullet for security issues. And he's right. On the other hand, we can choose to limit the potential classes of problems - as this Register article advocates. To my mind, there's simply no good reason to be doing application level development in C or C++ any longer - the risks are too high. That article advocates Java as the answer - obviously, my answer is different. But you knew that :)
