The third largest breach ever just happened in Finland. Passwords were stored in plaintext. At T-Mobile Austria, they explain that of course they store the password in plaintext, but they have so good security so it's nothing to worry about. At what point does this become criminally negligent?

    So you admit to using the roads, which were built by the government with tax money. Or are you driving cross country on a dirt bike??

    1) Government demands taxes for roads.
    2) $self pays taxes demanded of him
    3) $self owes nothing further either morally or monetarily and may use roads as he sees fit
