To reduce the identity theft immensely, one or more of the following MUST be legislated:
1. Replace the SSN with SecureID card with challenge keypad (none of those biometric foo-foo crap, bio is non-revokable)
2. Make data aggregation illegal (ooooh, sorry credit bureaus)
3. Make IRS the focal point of multi-keyed 2nd-generation SSN registration centre (sorry SSA, you screwed up, big-time!)
4. Customer "optionally" generate a NEW SSN for each business or financial institutions. (remember, data aggregation should be illegal)
5. Credit Bureau would function just fine (just a bit laggard with aggregation effort).
Once imposed, identity theft would (I guarantee this) be reduced to insignificant amount.
UNTIL THEN, nothing is currently being done to reduce the water flow from the Dutch Boy's leaking dikes.
It doesn't take much brain to resolve this crisis, just time and money. The Congress has absolutely no clue on how to fix this mess... Write your congressman today with these suggestions.
The single MOST effective anti-spam is to stop supporting mobile IP and ".forward" mechanism.
Once done, then ALL mail administrator can then implement DNS verification against the sender^H^H^H^H^H^Hspammer's IP address. If they don't match, NULL-BIT bucket it.
Seems like a small price to pay for restoring normalcy (until the next SMTPv2 comes along).

If you design websites, demonstrate some savvy and leave your "author" name all over the website of your last employments.
If it is an application that the prospective employer have, demonstrate your name by asking them to pull down a "Help->About" menu and show off your names, even if you put an easter egg in that menu (to get around your last boss's stingyness.)
36,000 employees got wise. What about the remaining 35,000 employees?
No wonder, the quality of our audit is getting better! I just hope not to get audit at all, but if I do, I'd like to know which employee passed this social engineering test so I can avoid them...
What better ways to railroad them with unmarked receipts and explaination of multiple exemptions?
Microsoft will be commiting a classical software engineering management risk-reduction mistake.
Indigo will replace the five different programming methods that Microsoft has today for sending messages between two programs in a distributed system, said Ari Bixhorn, the lead product manager for Web services strategy at Microsoft. The software will use a number of the more recent Web services protocols, including WS-Security and WS-Reliable Messaging, he said.
Never plan around one technology, or in this case, one programming methods for distributed communication.
As we all saw the slow crumbling and demise of each Microsoft protocols falling to disuse due to the wrath of Virus-writers, trojan-puller, malware-pharming.
To roll out a new technology and then place all your products' planning around this untested-in-the-wild technology, has been proven to be exceedingly risky.

On Linux 2.6, Gnome 2.8, Firefox 1.0.2 rendered the smiley face just fine and dany.
Pay no attention to the review.
The reviewer seemed to be warped.

Good luck...

Maybe Yankee Group does see a realized saving and need to do an about-face just to save their face.
Perhaps Colossus (FORBIN project from The Trilogy?) has already been baby-bootstrapped and has declared itself incognitius and omnipotus.
Sure beats the BSD Devil Girls.
HEY! Biometric is not revokable once stolen or lost (thru amputation).
Pick another system.

Why bother attending the championship?
The private "agency", that Casinos use to scope these potential card counters, probably compile a dossier of these mentats.
Don't bother, just rip the casino off while you can.
And then devise a business model around this axion, the panel is a wasting our time.
Wearing a scuba diver dry-suit doesn't seem that appealing while it belches water vapors.
Nor would it go well with other drivers thinking you spat/sprayed on their windshields/visors, thus forcing them to wipe for a clearer vision.

Dont forget, biometric is not revokable.
Once stolen, never usable again.
Kinda makes you an unperson, uh?

Never power up a suspected drive. Always treat it as a computing forensic evidence and process it accordingly.
Boot partition checkout (try all 18 of them). If that fails, entropy is the first stage of resolution.
Partition identification will take you a long way.
