I would like to call a halt to posting links from Open Source Energy. The site is run by crackpots and kooks who espouse completely insane ideas that have absolutely no basis in reality. It takes about 5 minutes of browsing for any reasonable person to determine this.
Promoting this site is bad for slashdot. I do not joke when I say that posting links to this site is no better than posting links to some "intelligent" design site about new theories of evolution.
Even if it were true that you couldn't do much without a SSN (which many before me have pointed out is not true at all), how difficult is it to get your grubby hands on an SSN anyway? Institutions have been using them as id numbers for YEARs.
