And maybe not the next time either, or the next time, or the next time. |

Point is, can you state for a fact that no site will ever be broke into, |
| 17 |
ever? |

The guy that owns it posted on this list a good while back. This was |
| 34 |
before the hack job. According to the things I have read, it has been |
| 35 |
improved even more than it was. I agree open source can be good but |
| 36 |
that doesn't mean closed can't be since we don't know what it does. If |
| 37 |
we don't know, neither does the hackers. |

Well, if I understand what you call a dropbox, that is online. I have |
| 55 |
never used it so I have no idea. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
My bank doesn't have all that. Honestly, until it is absolutely needed, |
| 58 |
I wouldn't want to go through all that just to see if I have enough |
| 59 |
money to buy milk. :/ |
