Calm down, rock thrower. Save it for the Yahoo groups. But then
again, what else should I expect from my short altruistic comment.
Like all frontiers, the internet also eventually gets saturated and
the laws inevitably follow. Today, companies lose money caused by an
impaired internet that was caused by mismanaged servers of other
entities --many of which are probably operated by the government, by the way.
Perhaps no such enforcement is necessary because every worm outbreak forces
people to secure their servers anyway. So it's a moot point.
