The problem is, the SSN is an identifier, and people treat it like it was a password! Allowing someone access because they know your SSN is as dumb as me using "Cro Magnon" as my password. *changes password*

That's not true! The Romans fell because their people were so distracted by entertainment that they didn't keep an eye on their leaders. BTW, American Idol should be good tonight.
1) It creates MORE government, not less. Republicans are supposed to be for smaller government, but this flies in the face of that policy
The Republicans WERE for smaller government - when the Democrats were in charge. Now that the Repubs are in charge, they're just another bunch of Big Government hypocrites.

How does Ruby compare to Python? And is it portable to the Mac or (ugh) Windows?
When I ran Win95, it would BSOD 5+ times a day. Once, it went down 15 times! I counted them! When we switched to NT4, it went down several times a week, instead of several times a day. So far, I haven't seen a BSOD on XP.
Minor nit: My bank is open from 9-5, two hours longer than the times you mention. Of course, since I'm at work from 8-5:30, and can't get to the bank during lunch, I'm still screwed.
That is THE reason I'm PO'd about the death of Enterprise. 3 years out of 4 were total crap, but even the worst of Enterprise was better than (un)reality shit!
Actually, the OP had a point. The GPL may have predated Microsoft, but it wasn't popular until M$ had driven everyone else out. If someone knows he can't compete with M$, there's less reason NOT to release the source.

Nah, most of Canada speaks English.

Then why didn't Apple do it? It's common sense to default to more security. If the default is "fsck me now", how is Apple better than M$?

Well, since there wasn't room for 2 brontosaurs on the ark, I'd say the dinosaurs croaked before Eve nibbled on the apple.
Awhile back, I predicted that the next American Revolution would be over TV. I still think so.
We don't need them, for the good Lord will smite our enemies! And if He doesn't, we shall drop cow poo on them.
Those 2 responses are not mutally exclusive. The question could get BOTH responses. From the same person.

My computer is the only one I do financial transactions on. They can keylog all they want on the computer at work; all they'd get is my /. password.
will be when Google comes up with a Quicken/Money program called GMoney.
Well, you were until you posted your info on /.
Well, that ED209 robot will do it one better - it'll blow up your best friend.
I thought it WAS made from bad sock puppets and shoeboxes. It worked for Eps 1 & 2.

The Illiad? Oops, I read the wrong Homer! D'oh!
Or, if you're female, Kirk will sleep with you regardless of species.
I'm sure there are at least 6 more TS characters. At Debian's release rate, that should last the rest of the century.
Woody released just before I was born. My nick gives you an idea how long ago THAT was!
