I never said it was an argument I agreed with. It is just the argument I often hear from sin tax proponents.

I didn't say it was *my* argument. Read carefully. I was just pointing out the argument that is often used.
The argument is along the lines of the fact that smoking, obesity, etc. have a direct cost to society. From lost productivity to higher healthcare costs, unhealthy lifestyle choices do have a real cost to others who share the planet.

Opportunist is referring to the fact that bad guys will pay many times more than that for a 0 day remote execution bug.
It reminds me of those 'That's now how this works. That's not how any of this works' commercials.
Both my scientific curiosity and my desktop backgrounds thank you.
You mean google astroturfers, right?
You don't get out much, do you? They are firmly entrenched in the enterprise both in the PC and server markets.

Fixing all of the bugs in the world won't stop methods like social engineering. That is why I also included user training. Sure it'll never be 100% because people are flawed and often stupid, but it's an important part of the equation.
No point product or product line of point products is a 'security solution.' They are part of the equation, but only a holistic approach that encompasses user training, proper design, constant vigilance, and yes the right point products can really be called a 'solution', and even then I tend to avoid the term. I'll speak to solutions for particular problems, for example web filtering or fire-walling, but I try to lead my clients to understand that only a complete top to bottom approach will even come close to providing them with the security they need. Even then, it's a game of leap frog. The bad actors will always be back with sneakier malware, more artful attacks, etc.
Maybe after paying all that money, Lucas will have to live in one of these low-income homes.
Seeing as he was already rich prior to selling the Star Wars franchise to Disney for $4 billion, I highly doubt it.
What do you think the anal probes are for that the Greys use when they abduct us?
Our closest cousins among the great apes sure do as well:
