This is an unreasonable expectation given that the US monetary system has inflation. Eventually they would really have to raise prices or end up losing too much money.
It's going to be interesting to see them snoop packets encrypted through a Tor network. The Guardian Project already has a Tor app in the market and are also working on a lot of other cool tools.

Exactly. It seems like the beginning (probably more like a continuation given recent years) of a slippery slope. I would think that the person who "owns" the device/plan would be protected in this case, but who knows anymore.
Would this also lead to your own personal device that an employer pays a portion of the bill to also give them rights to view your records? I bought my device and have an account in my name, but my employer reimburses a portion of the bill to me since I am on call every other week and get pages sent via SMS to the device.
It's been more of the "bane of Windows" in the respect to manageability within the system. Outside of malware and the like, what do you think causes Windows to slowdown over time?
I actually just installed 9.10 as my first experience with Ubuntu. Of course after the install S.M.A.R.T. indicated the drive was failing so I cannot confirm if any issues were related to that or the OS. I guess I will find out when the new drive comes.
Regarding your comment about 6 month release cycles... I have been running OpenBSD for years on the same initial install. I have upgraded with every upgrade at their regular 6 month release period and it has performed as spectacular as expected.
I am not sure that criminal charges are necessarily needed. Who would get the jail time? I mean does the SA have to prove that he recommended better security to the PHB? Does management automatically go directly to jail?
I might be happy enough with the company being responsible for any identity theft of the people listed in their data. Maybe only for the next 5 or 10 years, but if their credit starts getting messed up, then the company which lost the data should be responsible to take the blame and also partially (split between the bank and the company) financially responsible.
Even that suggestion has issues though. People will then fraud the company that lost their data by pretending that their identities were stolen and that someone is purchasing things in their name. All the while it was that person themselves.
Regardless, I think the whole identity/information theft thing is more complicated than most (non-technical/non-business) people take into account.
"I am not saying that there are not alternative ways to gain access, but for me personally I would choose the former of the two."
I also didn't postulate alternative solutions. I was merely making a point that I would rather be annoyed than have access given to someone that wasn't me.
I got locked out of my bank account because of that BS once (it wasn't a password reset though, it was a 2 step authentication, so it asked that on TOP of the password)
Would you rather get temporarily locked out of your account or rather someone who is not you get in?
I am not saying that there are not alternative ways to gain access, but for me personally I would choose the former of the two. Although following CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) philosophy there is obviously a potential to leave the last in a non-existent state. But in banking, is this really so bad?
I.e. if it stays in their network it's really cheap, if it goes through a peer then it's still pretty cheap, and if it goes to a transit provider then it gets expensive. the upstream ISP could in turn bill based on their cost to deliver it. I think that puts the majority of the public at risk. Anybody with know-how could attack their neighbors and start using those computers to route their traffic to outside the ISP's network. Now your neighbor pays for the majority of your traffic.
There is the possibility to figure this out, but how many ISP's are going to A) plan for that and B) actually care?
... Then there is detailed packet header inspection (DEEP INSPECTION, remember?) to seperate out OS subtle version differences, etc. To help against this, OpenBSD PF has a mechanism called "scrub" that has a bunch of options, but the following option should prove interesting...particularly the last bullet:
reassemble tcp
Statefully normalizes TCP connections. When using scrub reassemble tcp, a direction (in/out) may not be specified. The following normalizations are performed:
* Neither side of the connection is allowed to reduce their IP TTL. This is done to protect against an attacker sending a packet such that it reaches the firewall, affects the held state information for the connection, and expires before reaching the destination host. The TTL of all packets is raised to the highest value seen for the connection.
* Modulate RFC1323 timestamps in TCP packet headers with a random number. This can prevent an observer from deducing the uptime of the host or from guessing how many hosts are behind a NAT gateway.
I am not intending to stereotype, although it will probably come across that way anyway. From my personal experience in working with *nix, hacking away to do various things, is the game. I spend the majority of my time trying new things and configurations instead of playing games. Although now my BSD-based laptop (OS X) allows me a wider selection of games to play compared to my FreeBSD workstation. Even when I ran Linux though it was the same; for me at least.
This happened sometime before the date and time specified. The first time I noticed it was when Wikileaks was taken out of the DNS record the day before it was posted on/.
Allow everyone, as is indicated as one of our Constitutional RIGHTS, to carry a weapon. Anyone trying anything won't get very far anymore at that point.

If I could, I would mod you up. I couldn't have said it any better.
It is really disappointing to see things like this, which are not even close to being newsworthy, becoming front-page material.

they should just give freedom of choice:
...and partly because in many cases testers often have opposing views about a feature.
