    If the tin-foil hat consortium thinks it's true that's all the evidence they need. Facts are an inconvenience.

    Should I laugh at, or pity you?

    I think pity is most appropriate, life must be hard for you. What this being a dip-shit and all.

    > most criminals who are
    > caught (and yes, this is
    > most of them)

    Just about all of them get caught at some point, because each time they *don't* get caught their mind subconsciously revises downward its estimate of the chances of getting caught and the need for caution. So naturally the longer they go without getting caught the more careless they become.

    An intelligent criminal who is *aware* of this phenomenon can consciously resist it for a while, but eventually he'll start thinking he's *good* at being careful, and then he'll get cocky and careless. It's just human nature.

    It's not so much carelessness as it is chance. The more lottery tickets you buy the more likely you are to win.

    Noone's foolish enough to leave their name at the scene of a robbery, surely?

    A criminal would be.

    Honestly, there is a reason these people can't make an honest living.

    I don't know if your country has anything similar, but I can see how there is probably a market for it, even if it's a small market.

    Nor is regular mail.

    The whole "email isn't secure" is mainly tinfoil hat hype, chances are no body is ever going to read that email you just sent. There are allot of things I wouldn't sent via email just to be on the safe side, since interception is still possible however unlikely but I would not send any of those things via the postal service either.

    If I want my bill emailed to me then I should have that option.

    Why can't the companies just email me a PDF of the bill I normally receive? It would contain the due-date of the bill and how much I owe.

    Because it would be an incredible security risk to send a plain PDF containing all of your account information over regular email?

    And having it sit unencrypted in a box next to the road is not?

    These stats came from a government that would not set the criteria of pass or fail until they have the result. They also make stupid claims about how it won't slow the internet, last I checked a 404 is a pretty high percentage of slow down about 100%
