Anyway, I start to get "evangelical" when it comes to security, as I worked
in the security sector for a little while, and saw first hand the silly
things people do, because they do not understand the implications of not
operating a computer responsibly. Then these same people claim they've been
"hacked" when really,no, they were not. Theend result is that we start
seeing ( best case ) BotNET's with the ability to take down whole large
domains at a whim. Worse case, people or organizations have things stolen
form them.
