It would be the fault of the eejit that set it up like that. Locks, doors and houses have no free will - it's not "the door's fault" that it works as designed.

In what way does OpenStreetMap not fit the criteria already?

Do any of the other manufacturers of consumer electronics do this kind of audit?

This is stupid.

It sounds like a cool material, but the last thing we need is for something to make the idiot behind the wheel feel SAFER. A piece of spongy metal will not protect the pedestrian, cyclist or child when 2 tons of monster truck plow into it.

The best thing we could do for road safety is to put a six inch spike onto every steering wheel - you'd drive a helluva lot more carefully if you had that pressed into your chest as you hurtle down the freeway (BTW that's Max's idea, not mine).

I'm assuming from your post that you aren't running AV? That's how I read it anyway, as you don't include an AV solution (which is what this post is all about)

Security Lesson #1: Usability, Secure, Cheap - pick any two.

Anyone can put up a solution that provides two of these, however I think the solution you have put together provides only one.... Cheap!

Working from a VM? Not usable - at least not for typical office workers. No AV protection? Insecure

Allow me to elaborate on insecure...

Fair enough, you 'reset' your virtual machines when shit happens, but what about when a virus sends out spam from one of your IPs and gets your blacklisted? What about when a virus/trojan/whatever leaks confidential business information? and how do you know if things get nasty if you aren't running AV?

The viruses you need to worry about, are the ones you probably wouldn't detect without AV protection, as these are the ones most likely to do your business harm.

Frankly, who gives a flip which was the first!

What I'm interested in, is which device does it best, and I think it's pretty damn obvious which the winner is.

I have to code to the sweet music of fans and disks.
