That's backed up by most every printed instance I can think of. I agree
with you on the nature of the matrix.

I'm inclined to leave it about there, with some of the more complex
varieties of pocket sec having more capabilities, but being more
vulnerable to matrix attack. ... Maybe some max bandwidth specs would be
useful in this endeavor.

Some would have everything built

I think that if everything was built in, the mfg company would consider
the security risks and therefore others that had things added on would
be more vulnerable.

Um... a decker could say the same thing, and then change direction from
the directed directions. :)

I can see certain types of information being scrutinized by the system
more heavily.

Security I understand... security is to be overcome. I'd have to
disagree with the above sentence.

>Some may
>want to send data only to programs,

Wouldn't it all have to go through the processor? Couldn't a decker just
go from the processor to memory (active or storage) read/write what he
wants and leave? A small bandwidth into a secure winking SAN doesn't
allow for little leaguers. You'd have to be pretty talented to pull it
off, but I think I know a decker or two that could.

At this point I'd just shoot the guy that owned the pocket sec. Save me
some time.

Gotcha. We seem to be at an impasse.

I'm thinking a bandwidth stat would clear things up, actually.

Brother-1, decker of pocket secs.
