Minas Tirith | A good idea - in *Theorey* But in the real, practical world - forget it. First nothing is perfect. You dig hard enough into any software and you are bound to find 'vulnerabilities' of some sort. Every OS has some - windows, because it is the most used, appears to have the most. Face it, we'd all like to have to have multiple security programs installed [firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware to name a few] but this is the real world, with bad guys out there, and that's not going to happen.
First thing, who makes the decision of what software is or is not vulnerable? Personally, I don't want anyone making that decision for me. If the government was what it's supposed to be, for the people, not big corporations [RIAA, MPAA, etc] I *might* trust them [but probably not] - and with TCPA right around the corner, we might not have any choice.
And someone suggested that all ISP's provide a router that would have everything blocked off, except for general surfing & email, but could be opened by someone who knew what they were doing. Sounds great, until you have someone who finds out how to open ports, but not know what that means - and the cat's out of the bag - forget that solution. |
