You're right, Mike, but people who trespassing onto the "attractive
nuissance"
should be shot before they drown.
You have YOUR stuff and I have MINE. You have your private space and I have
mine. I have both the right and responsibility to protect my private space and
my property. The courts have upheld the property owner's right to apply deadly
force in protecting his/her own life/property. This presents an option to other
forms of population/pest control that some might find attractive. Now all we
need is a way to transmit deadly force over the internet.

I think a server on a high bandwidth connection with the default root and
password could easily be considered an attractive nuisance. Just like a
backyard swimming pool with no fence or lock on the gate.
But all that aside, see my previous message: security,
physical or
virtual, is YOUR responsiblity. If you don't want anyone coming into your
house or your server, LOCK THEM UP! Did they still get in? You didn't
use good enough locks. Try again.
OH... I see... The victim has primary responsiblity for the crime. I must
admit, I do agree with your statement "LOCK THEM UP". But it's not the
house
or the server that shuold be locked up, it's the CRIMINALS!
