Re: Cydia crash

Jared,

I agree with everything you say except that every normal computer is
also a network device. Your rules should apply to every device on the
Internet. That is both the strength and the weakness of the Internet
as compared to earlier proprietary switched networks . Every device
with an IP address is equal. Any "special" computers are special by
convention only. I've never been able to decide whether that makes it
the purest democracy ever or the purest anarchy ever or both. ;-)
Conceptually driving any Internet device is no different than driving
a car. Both are powerful and potentially dangerous tools designed to
improve life via communication on an open network. For a car that
network is the road system. Both need to be used responsibly.
