The Best Headline Ever (and an anecdote against libertarians)
by Jeff Guhin

From Jeff Guhin

FBI tries to fight zombie hordes!

Actually, it’s about how a bunch of computers are zombies for other computers. Why isn’t the private market doing this? You’d think that making computers run faster would be profitable…

The problem, however, is that one computer might not run that slow because of zombies, so the individual user is fine–however, the aggregate society is screwed by all the spam, junk mail, etc. It’s like firefighters–thank God I’ve never needed them, but I’m glad my taxes go to them.
