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?

Apart from "Good luck with that", how often you've seen any CxO made to pay over negligent or criminal behavior?

That's an "enforce the laws on the books" problem not a "we need new laws" problem.
Stop voting for lizards just because the wrong lizard might win if you don't. If you want honest, or something that at least looks like honesty in dim lighting, representatives, don't vote for dishonest ones.

Reforming the system is not one of my goals. I don't believe it can be achieved. I'm working the "burn it down and start over" angle.

While angling for fish? Seems quite a subtle way of being subversive

Heh, being able to hunt and fish could very well become valuable skills in the not too distant future. Plus, fishing relaxes me and I don't see any need to get all stressed out just because a shitty government is in need of toppling. If the US government can manage it, anyone should be able to.

Or useless skills due to the extinction of any life on the hunting/fishing grounds by the local hog farming baron.

Sounds good to me. I know how to hunt hogs and there's no such thing as too much bacon.
