Oh come on, what are the chances that hackers will find out how to use this back door? I'm sure the government knows what they're doing!

That is truly worrying for you guys, (i assume none of this extends to us) thanks. but your wrong and next. As soon as it becomes standard here, it will become standard there.

This is a bunch of bullshit and it is exectly why the government didn't open up the internet 2 months ago. They want a leash.

Good point lionel, Hackers will exploit the shit out of this. (as will the government)

This is just another one of those damn reasons why I should learn more about computers. Shut down any backdoor to allow wiretapping, and if I'm in a particularly bad mood, I'll encode all of my e-mails.

If a highly skilled hacker wants to access your computer there is really not alot your gonna do to stop him.

As for stopping the script kiddies, theres a variety of safety methods you could employ. Search on yahoo and read a few discussion forums on it. Should have ya pc locked up tight in no time.
