I guess Taiwan's wonderful software engineers just have to feel left out of this new wonderful Asian century - but seriously.. India before the rest of South East Asia ? Can we hear [why yes - Singapore,Malaysia,Japan,Korea (both of them) - they are our misguided children.. and we will get them back.. oh yes.. we will.. *maniacal laughter*]
Which window manager do we go with!?
- of course.. we all know that we wish the Pentagon would use Macs... just think of all those white on black outfits... and commands coming through your iTuner fitted iPod, whilst carrying your iMK45.
People don't mind spam that much anymore is because they've finally realised that it's just another way of comparing prices of much needed essential goods online.
In much the same way as froogle or dealtime, spam brings you the best deals without you even having to remember the name of the product!
We are now in the era of psychic marketing!

I agree, a single point of failure is just asking to be taken advantage of. However, a single well-secured standard is much better than several well-secured standards, since the latter gives more points of possible attack. I.e a well defended main gate or several gates with the security spread amongst them...
Sadly, it looks like those who designed the system are going for the single point of entry which is secured in a "let's get this done as soon as we can" fashion...

If their plan is to confuse people with respect to the actual usage of the card... thus foiling false identification attempts with a spaghetti bolognese of verification methods then I think they're succeeding!
Since Napster, Kazaa, and now Bittorrent, is the P2P universe is starting to gain the same sort of over-hyping that poorly made but well-marketed Hollywood films already have?
It's amazing that companies will pay to place ads in the middle of P2P programs, is there anybody on Slashdot who would a) use Adware P2P programs b) actually follow an ad link from one ?
Let's hope Exeem doesn't follow the pattern set by Kazaa MD with it's over obtrusive Gator...
