The answer: “Not much”.
That’s what’s wrong with a “put everything in the cloud” architecture.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Gooferment Internet Identity plan
Saturday, April 23, 2011With passwords “broken,” US rolls out Internet identity plan
By Nate Anderson
*** begin quote ***
NIST hopes to arrive at privacy standards that will give Internet users confidence in using such credentials, to clarify the liability that credentials providers will face should someone still manage to steal your identity, and to issue a “trustmark” that accredits participating credential providers and websites.
Public meetings on NSTIC begin in June, and NIST hopes to be funding pilot projects by 2012. Still, ordinary Internet users won’t be able to use the system for three to five years.
*** end quote ***
The Gooferment did so well with the Social Security Number, I think they should just leave everyone the hell alone.
What’s next tattoo everyone?
Kick the ISPs! They are being paid to provide access. Credit cards! That sounds like a reliable identity to me.
Argh!

Minnesota School Issues iPad 2 To Every Student

“Thanks to a federally-funded grant for magnet schools, every student at Heritage Middle School in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, now has an iPad 2.”
Why in my day, we had to buy our own graphing calculators — in the snow, both ways, uphill!
*** end quote ***
Why am I paying for this? Nuke the Department of Education and such waste. I’d like an IPAD2! Why do I have to pay for someone else to get one?
