Sorry, not gonna play the "prove to me that within my specific guidelines that this technology does this thing" game. Had enough of that purse swinging at work. My computer security guidelines require a layered approach, involving physical, network and software layers. I don't separate them. I take it for granted that some layers will fail and the redundancy will give me the results I need.

For my real world security, I have weapons, recent, relevant and realistic training and physical barriers to keep me and my loved ones safe. If you consider that policy spreading "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt", so be it.

I hope everyone has a safe Internet day and a safe real world day.

Thanks, Gringop

The adobe "flash cookies" are becoming more popular. I like to clean up periodically. Some people don't.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
