I believe you're referring to my post. I didn't say it would be "totally OK". I said it's better than basic longing/password security. I have seen L/P security breached thousands of times. This is the first I have head of a security issue with DoD CACs.

I certainly would not use a DoD CAC on any non DoD site. Maybe I haven't thought this out well enough, but I would think there would be a way to civilianize this to work on the internet in general. (i.e. the websites would use the trusted issuers to verify the identity certificates and would not have access to actually view the certificate.) But, I'm not an expert on the topic.

Of course not. But if you get multiple trusted organizations to to issue PKI certificates to load on to a smart card and every person to buy a smart card and reader for their computer and then get every website to add in the functionality...problem solved. Somebody make it happen.

True, it still needs a PIN. But that CAC works for every DoD website. As opposed to remembering hundreds of login/password combinations.

In the unclassified areas of the military passwords are almost gone (at least for me) by using PKI and our CAC cards.

It's okay...I play Words with Friends, too. Damn you, Zynga.

He any other financial advisor will always tell you to buy stocks because they know that basic rule: Money flows to company owners.

Oh and I suppose you're the judge of what is "unfair"? Our government is around to ensure everything is fair. It's around to ensure your rights aren't trampled. You don't have a right to be a millionaire. Nor do you have a right to your life being "fair".

"...the greater part of your income you invest, which only makes your income greater, but doesn't fuel the economy on the long run." Complete nonsense. Let's just pull all investments out of Wall Street and see what happens to the economy shall we?

I'll be sure to tell Clark Howard that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
