Too many out there that have demonized it and more still that have bought in to that propaganda.

If passed, it could very well see an increase in tax revenue and a decrease in crime.

If passed, it would no longer be as expensive, there by reducing some of the crime that is said to be from people committing the crimes to pay for their pot. The states would get a revenue boost as it would likely be taxed like tobacco.

We'll see.

The problem with ZA and other Windows firewalls is the users install stuff regularly that requires internet access and get in the habit of allowing the connection. It often becomes so frequent that it becomes Pavlovian. Users see the box and click Allow without thinking.

The same will happen with Linux. With the desktop variant, they will see a dialog asking for their password to install and do it without thought.

As much as it pains me to say, Windows has gotten better. My Windows machines stay relatively clean without much in the way of intervention.

IMHO, Linux is still better, but it is partially due to the users.

As far as I am concerned, 90% of all virus and malware infections, regardless of the platform, is PEBCAK!

But Officer, I stopped for the last one, and it was green!
