I do not see your government closing post offices and banks because of this. Also, the way it works here, it's actually a 3-way security process: -Your login/password -A root file on your PC, activated by a code sent to you by mail -A "key-card" sent to your address by mail, without which...

Why would it become mandatory? They're not forcing anyone into this, it's an option. Just as it's an option to do your business at the post office, in the bank or at the DMV. There is nothing that indicates this will be mandatory. Now IF somehow they propose it becomes mandatory one day, you can...

You think this will compromise your freedoms? How will it do that exactly? Take note, this is optional. It will not replace anything, it will not do anything that isn't possible now. It just makes the current method of logging in to online banks and government services easier and more...

I'm not sure you can compare DRM for a computer game with a security system for online banking, but you're right, software can and will be manipulated. Which is why the system we use doesn't rely on software alone. Even if a hacker was able to bypass the first two security elements, there's...

If there's only one access system it will be more difficult/take longer to block the access? I'm not sure why that would be the case. If they make the system like here, (and it sounds very similar), there will be multiple layers of security. -There's the login name and password. It is sent...

This is a great idea. Not new though, we've had such a system in Denmark for years, and everyone loves it. There has been no data breach either, since the system is made to be more secure than what online banking systems use. Please don't believe the republican fear tactics that this will...

We already have that system in Denmark. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread. You can choose not to use it, but everyone I know does, and loves it. Only one login code and password to access all government services? Sign me up for some of that! The people raving about this are...

Bah, Amazon has revealed itself to be a political tool: http://aws.amazon.com/message/65348/ Amazon just lost my business.

In all the reviews I've read, the new hexacore from AMD is neck and neck with the i7-920 at stock speeds. When using four cores. When using all cores, the i7-920 is left in the dust.
