Oh hai, I upgraded ur Internet quote

"His solution? Money. Governments need to provide rewards GIGANTIC FINES to ISPs for taking down FAILING TO TAKE DOWN botnets."

...oh wow, let's fix the botnet problem by paying extra money to people failing to do their job in the first place? Did I just walk into the twilight zone or something? Sometimes I'm convinced this whole security thing is a big, fat joke at someone else's expense.

Mostly ours.

Are we really that drained of energy and, y'know, fighting the good fight that our glorious endgame - our gunwaving, yippie ka yay charge into a heaving mass of badguys while wearing a disintegrating Bruce Willis vest - consists of rewarding people not doing what they're supposed to be doing? Why don't we just pay off the mafia and give the spammers a free trip to the Bahamas while we're at it, too? Oh yeah, because they ALREADY LIVE THERE.

You can read the whole thing here. Some of the solutions suck, some are vaguely interesting. But none of them involve guns and that's a shame. Never fear though, because here's an upgrade that's 100% awesome.
