I knew he was sort of a crackpot, but my god, how does someone like him rise to the power he has?
You mean it's not a requirement for becoming a highly placed, governmental official? I took that as a given, after Reagan's and Quayle's elections. One of the little drawbacks of winner-takes-all, TV-regulated democracy, I fear. Not that ours is problem-free, but as all our govenrments are coalitions by need, there's never any crackpot alone in "command", but a bunch of them, who disagree on enough issues to come to less insane compromises.

2.If you can't hand over a key (because you don't have it, or the file isn't encrypted) then you are liable to a jail sentence
There are express articles that exempt you from this sentence if you can prove or make clear that you, at the time of the question to produce the key, could not do that, as long as you do the moment you can provide it. And that's what scares me the most: apparently a lot of thought hs gone into this bill, to try and be "fair", but those people doing the "thinking" still overlooked the basic unfairness of it all. I mean, there's even a provision to allow you to invalidate the key (which otherwise would be an offence, as well). They think that far, but think not close up, or something.
Just a case of varying mileage, ar they say: I thoroughly enjoyed the last book as well. Of course, if you expect the same kind of action as earlier on, you'll be disappointed, but if you just sit down to enjoy reading something new (or old: I've reread all of them several times), it's very thought provoking.
Is can spread to other similar plants if the terminator gene would be (somewhat) regressive there. Or if it'd change in te process into something ticking like a time bomb, waiting to be triggered by a specific event. (Viral infection? Atmospheric circumstance?) Agreed, the gene has a serious drawback to propagation because of it's nature, since perfect replication leaves the infected plant sterile, so it won't spread it on, but nature has played with genes all her life. Look at man: do we look like anything that we stem from?
How can they close the hole? The hole is, in my opinion, the cluelessness of lusers just opening about any attachment that gets sent to them. And, last time I checked, there hadn't been invented a cure for stupidity and, given human track record, I don't think there ever will be.
Just look at the number of AOLers that fell for this Trojan: some 10.000 already. And I'm sure this isn't the first Trojan targeted at AOL. Will they ever learn? I think not.
Form a Dutch point of view, however, that would prove them not to be asses: "Een ezel stoot zich in 't gemeen geen tweemaal aan dezelfde steen." "An ass is not prone to stumble twice on the same stone." (Dutch proverb, transalation provided by yours truly.:-) -- Beware of geeks baring GIFs.

More response would only indicate we take the article seriously, and anyone who does that I've got a bridge to sell. :-)
