The pragmatic Richard that wrote that book is long gone I'm afraid.

Today his blog is filled with weird rants against voter ID, the Iran conflict, and a list of other countries he dislikes because they have national ID cards and this is a bad thing apparently.

For someone who is a renowned world traveler, you would think he has heard of passports by now.

Not a peep about these bills that could have a very real impact on an operating system he invented (gah-noo).

Then again, since he's never installed it himself*, account creation is not something he would have to deal with or care about.

Maybe the solution is as simple as having an adult create your account for you.

Like paying a homeless guy to buy you booze or cigarettes, not that anyone would ever do that.
