How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

TM's Unifi comes with 'backdoor open'...

to allow Trojan horses to roll into your computer system or make it vulnerable to infection by viruses and worms! This is the impression I get, as a layman, reading the following report...

From Malaysia Today: 'Hacking ethics - unsecuring Unifi?' by Aizuddin Danian...


Excerpts:

"Basically, when TM rolled out their fiber optic internet broadband service called Unifi, they:

(a) used hardware that had known firmware security holes AND forced every Unifi customer to use said hardware and
(b) installed a "backdoor" into each Unifi-distributed router on the pretext that the backdoor will be used by Unifi remote technicians should the customer need help. The problem is that this back door can be used by ANYONE, and not just Unifi staff."
