By Jove you've got it old man! Looking objectively at Black Friday as I do from up here in Canada (our Thanksgiving is spent in mid October mostly eating Turkey -- no shopping). However your point is well taken, as I see that almost all of our goods, as yours are all from foreign manufacturers. But services are always homegrown. Well done!
Agreed. And how about taking it one step further: Have Apache coders write the module that refuses to start the server if root password(s) are default. Period.
There, that should help.
My bank has the random 3 questions plus password authentication scheme (Royal Bank Securities - Canada). I'm always wondering about the lax security, and when my account might be compromised. I bet if the bank calculated their total loses due to online fraud; then assumed RSA style token based authentication would reduce that by a significant amount, then wouldn't it make financial sense for them...?
It's like I said in http://evanjenkins.net/blog/?p=4 MS can't compete with the ASF product. IBM does it, HP does it, Oracle does it. Soon you'll see the familiar http underneath the IIS.
Doesn't this proposed law pale in comparison to the patriot act? The patriot act allows law enforcement to seize your stuff-any stuff, not just your computers, without any reason whatsoever and hold you indefinitely.
