For you that might be true but for me Linux has been part of my desktop environment for almost 30 years now.

I don't care how popular something is but rather does the tool work for me. Does it lock up my information? Does it force me to conform to it or does it conform to my requirements? Does it spy on me? Does it force me to stop in order for it to run an update?

In KNP's case, it's thought the hackers managed to gain entry to the computer system by guessing an employee's password, after which they encrypted the company's data and locked its internal systems. KNP director Paul Abbott says he hasn't told the employee that their compromised password most likely led to the destruction of the company.

This would have to be the system administrator's password and even then I would say is was poor management if they had access to all.

This is a constant fight that I have with clients. Everything needs to be easy. Security is not a consideration. Then something happens and they look for answers that don't interfere with operations. Everyone else is to blame.

If the data is that important then it should have been secured behind more than one employees password.

Kids will still have access just like in the past and it won't be the tame stuff they are looking at now.

I've lost hope for the human race, we don't care to even see what is going on around us.

If parents can't protect kids then I can assure you the law and the government certainly will not no matter what law they pass.
