I understand what you're implying, but no one is "allowing" their hardware to be used criminally. At least in the U.S., our personal property system is permissive i/e you may not use my things without permission. So, usi

Maybe mention that the image at the top of the article features (albeit artistic) topless women. Not that I find it obscene or sexual, however it may violate some readers' workplace regulations.

Agreed. I honestly believe this is at least one of the reasons why individual debt in the U.S. is out of control. Managing your money is increasingly difficult in the U.S., and while I understand the concept of personal responsibility, the

Honestly, it may be that the status quo of modern times is finally bleeding into HN. People generally can't sustain high levels of optimism or positivity in the midst of a primarily negative and cynical environment. I saw it in the mil
