FFS, if you're going to buy a computer, you might
as well learn to
secure it properly. There really should be a requirement for
licensing of computer owners/users - if you can't prove you can
secure a machine properly, you don't get to own one...
Except, where are you going to find license examiners competent to
evaluate whether someone can secure a machine properly? I would be
totally astonished to find them doing anything but Windows and maybe
Macintoshes, and here of all places knows that's not all computers are.
Also, minor quibble - I have no problem with incompetent idiots owning
cokmputers, any more than I do with incompetent drivers owning cars.
It's only when they connect to the net - or want to take them on the
public roads - that there's any reason for the State to get involved.
