It is nice to see the voice of sensibility regarding this security question finally tilting the scales towards reason.
I see these things as risk/reward propositions. In this case, as some feel, the risk of an attack is low, yet they fail to quantify the cost (negative reward) of a succesfully attack, which could be dramatic and high. The flip side reduces the risk to almost nil, and the cost is minimal (learning to install and configure a piece of software), and the reward is quite high (peace of mind, supplimental knowledge useful for other inet apps and services). When there is such an imbalance in the risk/reward proposition, the choice is clear. -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
