It's based on a quote by Bruce Schneier. I suspect the +1 mods were by people who recognized that.
The quote is from the preface of Secrets & Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World (ISBN 0-471-45380-3, page xii):
In the real world, security involves processes. It involves preventative technologies, but also detection and reaction processes, and an entire forensics system to hunt down and prosecute the guilty. Security is not a product; it itself is a process. And if we're ever going to make our digital systems secure, we're going to have to start building processes.
A few years ago I heard a quotation, and I am going to modify it here: If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.
This book is about those security problems, the limitations of technology, and the solutions.
I for one, hope they can find a technological way to stop people from using BitTorrent to illeagly download theiri intellectual property, as I tend to prefer those solutions to the far nastier ones that are available (see the RIAA).
Clearly, you don't understand the problem and you don't understand the technology.
Odd, I've never considered sqlite to be an alternative to PostgreSQL. At least not where there is a lot of concurrency. (PostgreSQL, like MySQL, is client/server. sqlite is a library.)
Licensing issues, coupled with patent and copyright FUD, have caused developers and VCs to think twice before committing to Linux.
Bread-eating, skiing, and using Amiga Notepad, coupled with patent and copyright FUD, have also caused developers and VCs to think twice before committing to Linux.... about the same amount.

Isn't the niceness a configuration option?
Let's say those features were innovative. How does it follow that a patent is in the best interests of society?
Trivial to implement? How?

Lately? You must be new here.

Or, you could just social-engineer someone into running an ActiveX script that adds your own CA certificate to the trusted list....

Of course... because the risks associated with licensing and the law don't have any bearing on building marketable products or services, right?
Don't even go there.
Ever heard of challenge-response authentication?

Put an OpenPGP-encrypted zip file onto the drive. Also include a ZIP archiver and PGP decryption program.
Here's the Ogg Vorbis torrent.
Nice AC troll...
IPSEC is a complicated mess, and you basically need DNSSEC (which, AFAIK, doesn't really work yet) in order for it to be secure on a wide scale.
Ever heard of uncertainty analysis?
The UN should have designed IPSEC. ;)
Actually, the drinking age varies by province.
Why should anyone care? Those companies will simply lose an advantage they might otherwise have over their competitors.
David Chaum solved the receipt problem not too long ago.
Yeah, but AFAIK in a project like that, the engineers all work on different parts of the project.
Y e a h.
Then you're just not very creative.
