I'm sorry citizens from a civilised country like you are
can make such irresponsible comments like some of you guys
did.
I wonder what would a government that passes law such
as CDA should be catrgorised as. Maybe civilised countries
are judged by another standard since they are already
civilised.
The only thing that you people proved is that you have little
understanding of other people's culture, and doesn't care at
all. And you are quick to judge others, rather than answer
the questions at hand.
This is a technical forum, not a political one. If Mr Wee,
not "Mr Chee" like someone misquoted, asked something that
seems ridiculous, tell him so, there is no need to link it
to the government.
The reference to MJR's best firewall is a good one. That
illustrates a point:- that firewall is not _THE_ protection.
Others who commented about government etc... is really making
a fool of themselves.
And I agree with the gentleman who mentioned that Mr Wee's
question has little context in www-security. He probably need
a good shot of reality anyway.
I hope the thread ends here. And anyone who wants to followup
should do so privately.
