Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered: > > > Schneier has a profound interest in the ISPs being forced to buy his > (or his competitors) security gear to fulfill the customers' dreams > of a "clean Internet connection". Pretty biased, if you don't mind. Err... What gear? Last I heard he sold security consulting services, not hardware. He also writes books. And the worse the net-wide situation, the more customers he gets for both. So it sounds to me as if he's cutting his own throat with this position. So at least to my ears, claiming he is just trying to sell hardware is not only a cheap shot, but a clear miss. I've got a radical idea: why not discuss/debate his statement|proposal on its merits|debits, vice proported ulterior motives? Such debate is how many of us learn. -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
