It may be true, but user ignorance and social engineering will always be avenues of attack.

Of course. You would be arrested if you were caught leaving a building you broke into.

I found a list of the OWS demands. Here they are:

"Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr."

Why do those foreign companies have wage and regulation advantages? Because of the minimum wage and because of the endless regulation of products here in the US. Do you really think that raising the minimum wage to $20/hr will help? No! It will have the opposite effect. Either the company, say a fast food joint, will raise their menu prices to cover the cost of expensive labor or they will lay off the majority of their workers. Either way, the company is doomed. "Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors." A single payer system is a pipe-dream. Many other countries have tried and they have failed to provide timely and quality care. Am I saying that our current system is perfect? No. Government regulation and the need for tort reform have driven healthcare prices through the roof. Also, banning patients from using private money to get healthcare? Would they also agree that people should be banned from attending private schools? How about private businesses?

"Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment."

I just have to shake my head. How would they accomplish this? Where does the money come from? You can't get it from taxes. It is impractical.
"Demand four: Free college education."

You would just continue the current system. Already you can get student loans and not pay them back. And you wouldn't improve anything. For example, say I am a hiring directory in a mid-sized company. I have to choose someone to interview. There are two applicants for the same position. One went to a private college with a good reputation and the other went to the state run college. Who am I going to be more likely to interview assuming their experience and grades are the same? Obviously, the one who went to the private school.

"Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand."

Let the market run its course. Oil will become harder to find. As the price of oil goes up, other technologies become cost effective. Subsidizing anything does not make it a viable alternative. You also have to look at the alternatives. Most likely it will be electricity. Where does that electricity come from? We could get it from coal, nuclear, oil, or hydro. All of those are unlikely due to environmental regulation. What does that leave us with? Solar and Wind. Both unreliable and non-cost effective sources. Personally, I would buy an electric car if it can have the same performance, range, and refuel time as my current car. I also believe that nuclear and hydro is the best source.

"Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now."

Where does the money come from and what are you going to do with it? Assuming we print it, that will devalue our currency. If we borrow it, that puts us closer to a Greece or Italy type situation. If we tax it, you stifle the economy. And what are you going to do? Replace metal water and sewar pipes with plastic ones? Make roads wider? Build more/replace bridges? Improve the electrical grid? I live in Minnesota, and there were people against the rebuilding of the 35W bridge due to environmental concerns. Some freshwater mussel if I recall correctly. (I couldn't find the news article online)

"Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants."

So, you want to improve the grid while taking all of the nuclear plants offline?

"Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment."

I agree, no more affirmative action! No more of the "soft bigotry of low expectations" - Michael Gerson

"Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live."

Partially agree. Open borders work both ways, you make it easier for the good people it come and work, which I am all for. But you also make it easier for people like drug smugglers in.

"Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system."

I though that already happened. Here in Minnesota we have paper ballots. The problem with paper is that there are no controls to prevent the ballots to be flooded with fake ballots like what happened with the Franken election.

"Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period."

HaHaHaHaHa!

"Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies."

Wait, you want to forgive all debt and prevent future crediting?

"Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union."

How about the right to not join a union? I applied for a job at UPS to load trucks at night while I went to college. I turned it down because I would have been required to join a union. Why would I give my hard earned money to others? (Union dues) In the first month I would have only received about 1/4 of what I made due to taxes and union dues. Funny thing, when I asked if I could work but not join the union the other potential hires looked at me like I had leprosy.

"These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy."

HaHaHaHa! Do they really believe that, really?

Skype uses a hybrid p2p architecture consisting nodes and supernodes. The supernodes are semi-central hubs which are regenerated when one goes offline. From what I understand anyone can chosen to be a supernode, it just depends on a lot of factors including bandwidth, jitter, ping, and processing power available. This allows conference calls to be handled efficiently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_protocol
