Most people who lack any grasp of web security or technical knowledge tend to use the same logins for everything, which I suppose is what would make this a popular thing. But I like to mix it up, for sure. And I don't think it would be all that hard for someone to trace what sites I was on through a few quick searches...someone with some know-how. If I was a person interesting enough to do that with:).
If you only did have one login, though -- as this program would ideally suggest you do -- they'd only need to figure out one password to have access to everything, right? Which makes it, I suppose, no different from people who use the same login for everything.
It just seems smarter not to put all my eggs in one basket, as it were, and not have everything I do tied to one username and password. I think a variety of logins makes my information more secure, and makes me more apt to remember to sign out of things, and not leave myself vulnerable to having my IDs compromised. But I'm not a true techie, so maybe there's some amazing aspect of this I'm missing out on.
But, for the record, I hate Passport with a passion, and I also hate having to sign in to comment on blogs or journals.
Totally agree on not wanting to become litigious. There's way too much drive to the courts in the US, and it hasn't really seemed to improve anyone's quality of life. People need to get some savvy and stop being so gullible. Cons and suckers will always be with us, and the only real way to save yourself is to figure out how to take care of yourself. You can say all you like that you want to "get tough" on something, but in the end, no one is going to watch your ass but you. Unless you are in porn, that is.
All of the reviews read pretty weak in favour, and strong against. And usually, they recommend it because it's not as bad as the other prequels. Kind of like telling you to have sex with an ugly guy just because it's better than having sex with an ugly guy with a rash.
It's a bad idea, this whole "I'm gonna release my movies out of sequence! Nyah!" Methinks George is remodeling Skywalker Ranch and couldn't afford the bidet he wanted.
"Let's invent the PRE-prequel!"
Hadyn Christiansen lacks soul or depth of any kind (not that Mark Hamill was emoting much, but still...at least he had a cleft...), Natalie Portman looks terrified, Jar Jar was a nightmare, Liam and Ewan were better in almost anything else, and the films themselves seem contrived, lame, wooden, and dull. Not to mention annoying.
I am a HUGE fan of 'A New Hope', 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' (especially 'Empire'...by far the best), but I refuse to waste my time on another Star Wars film without Harrison Ford. That's saying something for a girl who saw all the others more than 10 times apiece.
I'm going to go cry with my Ewok doll now, and eat Pez from my C3PO dispenser.
In the company I work for, the IT guys are some of the most peaceful, least-freaky individuals present. They seem to genuinely want to help me if anything is messed up.
I'd worry more about firing janitors. Those dudes can DO shit to toilets that would rock your world...and leave your office smelling like New Jersey in the spring.
