I would like to Nominate the above post for post of the year!
I wonder if Apple Computer is involved. They are identifying the owners of their product by computer ID which can be applied to all their products. They say this is so you won’t have to repurchase stuff which is a great idea; but I still wonder.

Just tons of graphic journalism.....
If we run out - We make more!

Unless you are vistin .gov websites the government should have no authroity over what you do as long as it is legal.
Screw you, Obama.
Remarks at Cybersecurity Event with White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, Stanford, California
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke

“To help meet these challenges, the Obama administration released a comprehensive Cyberspace Policy Review outlining a series of necessary actions by the public and private sector including: improving identity solutions, identity management services, and privacy-enhancing technologies.
This review has helped to lay the groundwork for the administration’s forthcoming National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.
The final version of this strategy will be signed by the president in the coming months, and Howard will be talking about this in a few minutes.
Many of you participated in the open public process to comment on the strategy and are familiar with the public draft released this past summer. And we want to thank you for your thoughts and recommendations.
The end game, of course, is to create an Identity Ecosystem where individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with greater confidence. . . putting greater trust in the online identities of each other. . . and greater trust in the infrastructure that the transactions run across.
Let’s be clear. We are not talking about a national ID card. We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities.
To accomplish this, industry leadership is essential. We need the private sector’s expertise and its involvement in designing, building and implementing this Identity Ecosystem.
To succeed, we will also need a National Program Office at the Department of Commerce that is focused on implementing the Trusted Identities Strategy.”
I’ll miss the Internet when it is gone bookmark.
Locke is a dipstick. We had to endure years of him here in WA state. He’s a prime example of the Peter Principle and this is a taste of what you get when he’s given authority.
Like another poster said: I had to read this to see if it was satire. Sick.
Yes, though I don't know any command lines, etc. I am typing this post on a two-year-old HP1120NR which runs on Ubuntu. I have never had a virus, etc., since Linux, of which Ubuntu is a distribution, is impervious to viruses. I use Open Office and HP helpfully updates my machine periodically. It cost under $400 and is available second-hand for around $200. It has a 16gig SSD drive and boots in about ten seconds. There has never been anything like it on the market since then, except to custom order from HP for around $800, with an 80gig SSD a seven-hour battery life versus my current 2-1/2 hours. So it isn't worth getting a new one. Another almost virus-free alternative is a MacBook Air 11.6" for $1,000+. Both alternatives are expensive for a third computer, for me anyway.
Now if Obama gets revved up about IDing everyone, maybe I'll just need to take the plunge.
His number is 666.
Locke is only following his master’s, Obama’s instructions.
I would like to Nominate the above post for post of the year!
I wonder what his take will be?
If one of his eight listeners is lurking they can let us know.
Thanks.
F That.
F That.
This individual has no concept of what it means to be an American.
LOL!
