    Replace "Koreans" with any other modern country, and see if the same statement doesn't fit. Also, keylogging isn't a Windows-only problem.

    Despite spikes in complexity, the amount of time it takes to decrypt even the newest encryption methods is relatively trivial, so what's the point of encryption for anyone on the planet?

    The Earthlings are mostly made of carbon, so they would burn pretty quickly -- or they will once the sun starts to fizzle out and completely engulf the Earth... so what's the point to being alive?
