Govt's are struggling to find ways to tax the internet, govt's always tax stuff as much as they can so their mates can get richer and the ministers can get kickbacks etc.

Kap is just giving them ammo to think of a way to tax it. The "internet police" will need funding, so we will "need" an internet tax fund.

Internet Restructuring will need funding, so there will need to be a tax for this also.

Sony execs should be doing hard time for their company's CD root-kit exploits.
M$ should be held responsible for their pushing vulnerable technologies onto an unsophisticated public.

I don't think they will label their ID:
"I am a terrorist please block me"

Passports for communicating on the internet and know who you talk to or who sent you an email then I am all for it.
(I know it's possible but since there isn't an easy ID in place that has to be used it won't be used) it would also help against SPAM.

Marco,

Tavarischi is plural meaning friends or comrads.
Tavarisch is singular.
Just so you know.

THE Eno Master

..not any more, it took them WEEKS to even just DETECT the notorious Conficker/downadup.b virus (from LiveCD).
they are either incompetent or part of some kind of conspiracy.
why isn't anyone calling it 'Kido', eh?

True there are some who would operate the internet as a postal service for email and television for the WWW. Both are huge fails and should never be allowed to happen. If it does get rammed down our throats, look for a whole bunch of private hobby sub nets to pop up. Create a whole new separate private membership only internet. Not such a bad idea.

Anarchy and Chaos is the only true freedom.

Having a spell checker is always good. But knowing how to properly proofread an article: priceless.

It’s one thing to mis-spell an obscure word that is being used for style over substance. It’s another thing to have mis-uses of words alongside abysmal sentence structure and a chaotically organized article.

Case in point: “reek havoc” (14th paragraph). Reek? You mean havoc stinks?? It has a pong, an odour, a stench?

A better word to use would have been wreak, which means to implement, to bring about; cause.

This "tavarischi" (comrade) , thinks he knows what's best for me .
So did the party back in its day and the long list of "I know what's best for you"
sons of Russia .
Citizen "K" :You will never be Billy G. nor K. labs Micro$.

Internet passports. How wonderful! We've seen what happens in the US over the last 8 years when citizens give up their freedom for PERCEIVED security.

Of course, Mr. Kaspersky hails from the "Land O'Stalin" ™ and is a security vendor to boot. Are we to suppose that he has no more an agenda than the safety and security of its netizens?

Shurely shome mistake.

The following Postscripts in a Submission received by Microsoft's Project Huron, would Posit that the Present Status Quo Establishment* are nowhere near Smart enough to make any Worthwhile Change, by Reason of their Corrupted, Self Serving Natures, and thus will Vulnerabilities be QuITe Naturally Probed and Ruthlessly Exploited.

PS. Happy May Day .... which is just A.N.Other Heavenly ZerodDay Trading Opportunity for Some who may be Many. :-)

PPS The Hotmail portal does Provide a very Convenient Audio Visual IM Service which would Appears to Terrify Traditional Government and Governance Practitioners with its Transparency and Immediacy, and Perceived Lack of Security and it is hard not to conclude that that would be because they would have so much to hide in that which they would be sharing amongst themselves, for Perverse Maintenance of their own Personal Advantage rather than General Distribution of Greater Benefit. And thus would their Service be an Abject, and even Criminal Failure, which One would not Wish to Continue, Hidden from View..... which would be another Future Development to be Considered for Greater Peer Pressure Review Change ..... for Universal Control of Systems.

* Quite who they would imagine themselves to be is something which is really of relative insignificance nowadays should they be unable share their Needs, Transparently over the Web for ITs Immediate Impact Facility.

All this talk of regulation may sound nice, but coming from a country with a repressive government, I'm pissin' scared that any for mof regulation in "freer" countries will be a justification for tighter regulations on internet censorship where I come from, to "protect" us.

cheers

"reek havoc" ??? Try "wreak havoc" perhaps.

InterPol should be the cops to be involved with Cyber terrorism. They should be dealt with a UN based tribunal. Then stop giving them time off to help catch other criminals. Solitary confinement as a minimum for 5 years.
