It appears that Germany fined a wi-fi owner for having lax security. Wow, what a concept, personal responsibility for the equipment you own and operate. Now, if the German courts would apply that logic to computers, they would do wonders for Linux installations.
But it will never catch on in America. Some radical nuts might apply personal responsibility to eating fattening foods, using GPS receivers, or dicey investments. Why, that would end our federal bailouts!
