    The ISP should block a TCP port? That is not a protocol, that is the ISP failing to provide the service paid for.

    Even so, then the virus will scan for other zombies that do have access on that port, and relay to them on another port.

    1) You get a spam from box X that authenticated as sending mail for domain Y.

    Can you come up with a protocol that will not allow a zombie box to, as you say, authenticate properly?

    The difference is that the employees can quit and get other jobs and the customers can buy other products.

    It is like the politicians with broken contact forms on their websites. They would like you to think it is an honest mistake, an oversight, or incompetence, not that they really do not care what you think.

    There is no reason to plan for more than one. The point was that it is stupid to plan for exactly one.

    The bureaucracy to take care of the latter person employs far more than that.

    The problem is that in the eyes of your users, if MS Office corrupts or cannot read a file, it is the file's fault, but if OpenOffice cannot read a file, it is OpenOffice's fault.

    That is to tell people that if you are going to try to overthrow the government, you better have enough power to do it. If you lose, you are going to die.

    The "owing allegiance" part is interesting. Does the law claim that everybody ("whoever") owes allegiance to the US, or does it just pertain to those who do owe allegiance? If the later, what defines if one owes allegiance?

    While I may have pledged allegiance under threat of detention in elementary school (while I was a minor), I maintain that I owe no allegiance. I pay taxes for what I get; I owe nothing else to the organization over which I have no control and for which I have no responsibility.
