Bush wants everyone to have broadband. The DoJ wants to rid the internet of porn. I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. (no pun intended - well, ok, it is)

I hate to say it, but Microsoft's haven't been compromised, and they're the bigger target.

not vulnerable to Internet attack? really?

On: Windows ATMs by 2005

[Bruce Schneier] pointed out that the machines would not operate online and therefore would not become vulnerable to a malicious Internet attack or to some virus passed around in an e-mail attachment.

Really? What about Bank of America's ATMs

Granted, the BoA ATMs weren't directly attacked, but it does indicate that they were online.

Boy, if you think that's funny, have I got a fart joke for you! Morons huh? Maybe you ought to get out more; mingle with a more diverse group of people. Most of the Mac users I know have PhDs and Masters Degrees in Molecular Biology or Geography or Geology. Some have MDs. One Mac user I know is a Physicist. They're not sophisticated computer users by any means (except for the Physicist and one of the Geologists) but I would hardly call them morons. BTW, how smart are you? (Yes, this is a open-book question. Take your time. In the mean time: Pull my finger.)
