Passport vs. Plan 9 339
netphilter writes "LinuxWorld is carrying an article about how Apache and Plan 9 are going to defeat Microsoft's Passport. I hate Passport's integration with XP (although that might be because I hate XP). An Open Source single-sign on would be a real blessing. Will we ever get a good single sign-on solution?"

Why Plan 10? Heres why...
1) No one cares about me
2) Steal my credit cards they're maxed out anyways
3) I probably wouldn't mind if you changed my investments you probably would make more money that I do in the stock market
4) All of my email is mailing lists and spam, I have no friends
5) You could probably accumulate more karma on
6) Sneak preview of my bank account $0.02 (which I'm giving away here right now)
7) My social security number has been reused more times than the sayings "going forward" and "at the end of the day" combined
8) All passwords are hackable by the NSA anyways
9) At some point all information will be decrypted
10) You can have my body, but you cant take my mind

Yeah, really! Having a zillion different Grand Unified Logon services is totally going to make them worthless.
I mean, look at how many different 'Adult Verification Service' (AVS) accounts you need, just to visit more than one or two porn sites! AdultLogin, AgeTicket, AdultCheck, SexSentry, and so on and so on and so on.
Not that I would need any of those...

Apparently the guys that named this technology have a record for coming up with silly names. Just imagine they named their first project "UNIX". That project also faded into obsurity. Didn't it?
