How can they be sure that theyre hitting a user that falls under the laws theyre enforcing by themselves? What if the user is in a country not covered by those laws?
Could they themselves could be hunted for performing terrorist actions under terrorism laws?
Same with the internet, the so called "able to withstand a nuclear war" network. What happens? A fire in a tunnel in Baltimore instant blockage (people thought it was Code Red). Fiber cut undersea, entire country blocked off.
Heh, u know the way some computer people rub skin cream over theyre hands throughout the day in the office to keep theyre hands looking girlie while using the keyboard. Just avoid the ones that rub talcum powder over theyre hands:D
I am a dev myself but one thing that is too common is the attitude to the other people within te software development process. Testers.
What about testers next? Without them we would still be hacking blindly. Personally I think testers dont get enough recognition. I personally thank testers for helping me write good scaleable, solid, reliable secure code.

But, I thought we knew where all the bugs where already. In Windows.
Why do we need to track them?
Have they done any simulations on the impact of different failure scenarios on the system?
Is there any active projects that map internet connectivity over time? Where you can visually see Net splits, routers go down etc?

A standards committee should have no finincial interests. It should be non biased.
How can a royality based so called standard be a standard? Isnt a standard based on mutual agreement or compromise?
