This is what I was talking about when I said, "what does it matter?"
Why does anyone even THINK that Bruce Schneier should be informed on the issue of governments and justice? And the fact that he opened his yapper about a subject he's apparently thought about for 15 minutes should be no suprise, given he's sending out that little newsletter. The over-the-top reply to Schneier seems WAY out of proportion to what he said, even IF you asume he was 100% dead-ass wrong. It almost seems like he violated some kind of religious conviction. Like I said before, P2P, Crypto, WiFi and cheap chips will turn everything upside down. But to be honest? I don't think anyone really knows what will emerge politically as a result. We can all postulate and present our little theories, but history is rarely what anyone predicts it to be, paticularly where technology is concerned. And again, who cares WHAT happens to governments, as long as I can say what I want to whomever I want without worry about it being snooped on. And there's no way they can stop that now, just make things suck a little until they realize it. -Tyler Durden
