Real ID Quietly Hits

So without much fanfare The Real ID Act of 2005 went into effect on May 11, 2008.

This new federal law is brought to you by our friends at DHS.

The Real ID Act implements the following:

- Establishing new national standards for state-issued driver licenses and non-driver identification cards
- Information and security features that must be incorporated into each card
- Proof of identity and U.S. citizenship or legal status of an applicant
- Verification of the source documents provided by an applicant
- Security standards for the offices that issue licenses and identification cards

Soon you will not be able to drive, fly, buy certain things or go certain places without it.

--Welcome to tomorrow

It's not as big as it once was...

So tonight I was backing up My Documents.

My file server is full.

I use to have automated jobs that would back up my other computers to the file server. not any more. Manual backups now only. I was just backing up photos only. I deleted all the crap I could and and it still might fail. Between music and photos 250gig is not what it use to be. I have to back up files from BRs PC too!

I am going to have to buy another drive. Dammit!

--Oh the Humanity!

How I think this is going...
