The law lags laughably behind technology. With aces like Frank Lautenberg representing a big chunk of the total information technology experience in the Senate - you can see why.

“The law lags laughably behind technology. With aces like Frank Lautenberg representing a big chunk of the total information technology experience in the Senate - you can see why.”

This will always be the case where technological solutions are “provided” by managers. Policy doesn’t quite cover the problem. Additionally, there are too many folks with unprotected home computers (in a broadband world). Granted there are always exploits to beat many commercial protection products, but the more protected computers (time to defeat), the harder it is to mount a distributed attack.

maybe a big off switch is the answer...preferrably not in the hands of the government.
