Exactly. To invoke the insurance metaphor as a simple cost/benefit analysis; a determined thief WILL succeed in breaking into your house, regardless of how many locks and security cameras you have - so the best strategy is to limit the damage. There might be a cultural/social issue buried here though, as my bank is obliged to cover (non-social-engeneered) fraud and in case of bankruptcy my government guarantees for whatever money I have in the bank. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
