Actually yes, Dallas semiconductors have been making it for years now. Have a look at their line of iButtons. They can even be fitted to a ring, or you can attach it to your wristwatch, or just use a keyfob.
Use it to sign onto windows, access control and whatever you think of.
I played around a little with a few cheap unique-id-only ibuttons and they are quite cool.
The problem isn't having a policy, or having a boss tell you to use safe password. The problem is that the boss somehow feels he should be exempt from the password policy. Ironically enough, the people in command that wears a suit usually has the simplest password. They also have access to most of the sensitive information.
After using slackware for several years I've finally gotten around to cough up the money for a subscription.
After all, slackware has proven itself valuable again and again so it's about time I start contributing some money to the slackware team. If you use slackware regularly, I suggest you do the same. Patrik has to eat you know.
Shareware strikes me as the solution to all of this.
You get to test the software to see if it fits your needs and if it's stable
Everyone can still release software
As a bonus bugs can be discovered more easily by having a large amount of testers
Ofcourse this is what is really good about most opensource software, as in many cases you don't have to pay a license either.
It's harder to search for your email-address that way. People sometimes write about me and includes my email address. I prefer to be able to search for it and find what have been written where. It could be a link to my webpage, a quote from usenet or something else. Ofcourse then I can lobby those pages as well and have them replace it with a more generic web@mydomain.com to atleast ease filtering.
Tried http://www.jflkdsjads.cx/ or http://www.jflkdsjads.nu/ lately? Other TLDs have had this for years, yet noone has complained about them. I'm all for stopping what VeriSign is doing now, but we should round up ALL the guilty parts while we're at it.
I can see that some ISPs have a need for sendmail due to legacy UUCP-customers (yes, someone still uses UUCP), but the world should really move on with regards to MTAs. Postfix, qmail and Exim are all good alternatives. Perhaps linux-distributions should offer other mailers as standard, that would probably get the ball rolling.
As for myself, I switched to postfix several years ago and haven't looked back even once.
Ah sorry, my bad. I assumed that since the taxis have cellphones as well they would use plain GSM location-based services to keep it simple.
I'll go shut up now:-)
Actually they aren't using GPS at all

They're using GSM-based location-services that many cellphone-providers
across europe are starting to provide. GSM is the european standard for
digital cellphones, and you can't get an exact position, only tell which
base station the caller is connected to. Therefore you can find people in
the same area by matching which base-station sees which users.

All lower-case, no digits or special punctuation. Yeah, I would consider that password to be relatively simple.
Ofcourse, "drew" would be one of the simplest.

Yes, the telemarketers obviously tried to call congressmen during dinner to present their case and for some strange reason it backfired.
