Agreed.
However, the "_________ are bad; maybe we should regulate their use" argument is an interesting one. Depending on what you put in the blank, reaction varies wildly. I think most reasonable people don't think AS/400s are inherently bad, but would blame the individual for their misuse. Plug in "guns," "cars," or "drugs," and see what happens. :-)
- perl4ever 5y agoToyota pickup trucks are legendary for their use by insurgents; I don't see a lot of hand-wringing over that. Several years ago, I went looking for a digital caliper. I settled on one from a certain Japanese company. Later I read on Wikipedia that four of their executives were indicted in the 00's for fraudulently exporting measuring devices that were too accurate and indirectly may have ended up in sanctioned countries' nuclear programs. That seems like a good tagline - "So accurate, it's illegal!"
