No, unfortunately I haven't been at the Oktoberfest, even if it's now and Munich is not far from here... and I know this song is silly (and the video too), but I liked it. :-)

Unfortunately, people sometimes do not seriously think about which is really the weakest link in a security system. And there is also a more subtle issue: strengthening a link may cause the attacker to change his strategy, with undesirable consequences. I remember a story about some car anti-theft devices being "too" secure in making hot-wiring difficult, so that they actually caused an increase in carjackings. It is probably better (as well as much safer) to discover that one's car has been stolen when returning to the car park...

Until a few years ago, you could connect to the Internet and be in contact with hundreds of millions of other nodes, without giving even a thought to security. The Internet in the '90s was like sex in the '60s. It was great while it lasted, but it was inherently unhealthy and was destined to end badly. I'm just glad I didn't miss out again this time.
