Other than that it seems to discuss quarantine and no it did not work back then.

ON a second thought - I just wonder why this story is not known in wider world as it seems to show that there is hope and motivated people can actually do something useful instead of indulging in the biggest zombi attack media hysteria since Wells did his Martians invasion.
From a technical standpoint, no single decision has ever been that important... The problems tend to be around alienating users or developers and I'm pretty good at that. I use strong language. But again there's not a single instance I'd like to fix. There's a metric shitload of those.
It's probably not a coincidence that Torvalds said this just a few weeks after critics like Lennart Poettering started drawing attention to the abusive nature of some commentary within the open-source community. Poettering explicitly called out Torvalds for some of his most intemperate remarks and described open source as "quite a sick place to be in."
Still, Torvalds doesn't sound like he's about to start making an apology tour. "One of the reasons we have this culture of strong language, that admittedly many people find off-putting, is that when it comes to technical people with strong opinions and with a strong drive to do something technically superior, you end up having these opinions show up as sometimes pretty strong language," he said. "On the Internet, nobody can hear you being subtle."
Nearly all of the changes proposed by the U.S. advantage corporate entities by expanding monopolies on knowledge goods, such as drug patents, and impose restrictive copyright policies worldwide. If it came into force, TPP would even allow pharmaceutical companies to sue the U.S. whenever changes to regulatory standards or judicial decisions affected their profits.
Professor Brook K. Baker of Northeastern U. School of Law [said] that the latest version of the TPP will do nothing less than lengthen, broaden, and strengthen patent monopolies on vital medications.
fortunately India and China have unresolved border disputes. Unfortunately they have already more effective (nuclear) way of fixing this and it fixes all equally women, man and children.
But I digress - the point here is this: once you fix the security of primary access you will find out that password recovery is shit, one you fix this you will find out that the password DB of the site was at the same time not properly hashed and not properly protected from theft. One you fix this you will notice that your device is compromised, your 'yellow stickers' with pwd to password manager have been seen by evil person (wife?) and somebody compromised not only the reader of your chip card but also the they eavesdropped pin of that. Then we find out what the best way of the authentication and authorization are - NSA, IS and other friends will use it to track you in a perfect way.
To me it looks like lose-lose situation and one that thanx to galloping technology and 'user friendliness' is getting worse as we speak.
