Stardate 20010927.0758 (On Screen): Don't peek yet: This article describes the formation of the
Liberty Alliance Project. Let's see if we can guess what it might be, shall we? Is it an effort by the US government to rally the free nations of the world to fight against terrorists and authoritarian governments around the world? Nope. Well, is it an effort to oppose Attorney General Ashcroft's attempts to revoke the Bill of Rights in the name of fighting terrorism? Uh-uh.
No, it's a group of companies led by Sun Microsystems who are going to create a system to compete with Microsoft's Passport. The "liberty" to which they refer is liberty from the real Evil Empire, the one whose capitol is in Redmond. Scott McNealy needs to get a grip. (discuss)
