-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I assume that was a joke (or, an obtuse argument). Regardless, allow me to opine.
First, nastiness and ridicule stifle reasoned discussions and push intelligent people away from participating. They (invariably) break down into emotionally-charged, ad hominem attacks rather than discussions of abstract topics. I.e., the suggestion below--that we need more ridicule and cracks--is just a slightly more adult version of "Yo Mama" jokes. Do we need more of that? No, we clearly do not. Regarding the Wi-fi reference, I contend that economic/business factors, primarily, led to the release of weak security protocols (WEP). Technology does not exist in a vacuum, though tech/geek types (including myself) often do not consider the broader context in which the IT world operates.
