Actually, these systems have had documented vulnerabilities in the recent past. But that is really here nor there. It doesn't make sense to hack a Linux box, 9 of 10 times it's a seasoned pro at the keyboard. It doesn't make sense to hack a Mac, it's still a niche society. Windows is ubiquitous. Just in a numbers game alone, if you want to phish, go for Windows boxes. It's like going to Vegas with ten thousand bucks and just playing slots, eventually you will hit. All software can be hacked. Don't be fooled by hype purveyed by Open Sourcers, radicals, etc. Heck, Apple's own song site had a huge leak a few weeks ago. Can't blame Windows for that. In reality, if someone wants to get to you, they will. All you can do is be vigilant on your own end. I have run IE for ages now. I get the patches when they are released. I run Spybot in TSR mode. I run AVG antivirus once a week. I get no popups, the only adds I see are banners, and I don't get infected. The two times I did get infected were because I specifically went to sites that dealt in cracking and such. That was my own fault. I know the law you are talking about Unzipped. Here is my thing though. Why does everyone think it is such a bad idea to have a national ID card? I mean, by law, in every state of the Union, you must have a legal ID by the age of 18. This really just makes it a national requirement. I think it hillarious that people can make a stink that somehow their freedoms are being violated just because the governement wants you to be able to prove who you are, in an effort to combat terror. I watched the towers fall on 9/11, literally. I happened to be blessed enough to be just outside Manhattan, but I was there. If something as simple as an ID card will help prevent that ever happening again, where do I sign? I absolutely will not give up liberty. However, I don't see where this law changes anything, rather it seems to only reinforce what is already in place so that illegal immigrants, with intentions of destruction, can be found. Maybe I am way off base, and if so, please tell me so, but I don't see what the real problem is. (Pssst, the government already knows who you are, if you paid your taxes this year...and if you didn't...)
