Comment Stop Whining! McNealy's Right! (Score 0, Offtopic) 615
I'm so tired of the whining about "privacey" in a community that I find otherwise wise. There never has been, never will be privacey. Get over it. If you truly value libertarian vitues, why not take an imaginative leap...can't humanity
engineer a truly unhackable human identification system? And if so, if spoofing identity becomes impossible (based for example on DNA) or at least difficult in the extreme (i.e. very costly), then can't we also imagine a zero privacey/maximum freedom hegemony much cooler than current offerings?
StarTrek is actually within reach...and as luck would have it, it's this very community that could drive h. sapiens to realize such potential...if y'all would just get over a few (immature) hangups and stop whining.
