• Share Password Safes
  Many companies use a password safes which give people a secure place to store their passwords, which takes away the need to find somewhere to stash the password. One of the best solutions I've seen is from http://www.argosytelcrest.com/enterprise_password_safe.html, if nothing else it'll help save on the cost of Post-It notes :).

• Why not use a tool to reduce the number of passwords to remember?
  There are plenty of tools which store usernames and passwords safely which leave you with one password to remember, which you use all the time (and thus you're less likley to remember).
  
  I've used the Enterprise Password Safe from Argosy TelCrest (http://www.argosytelcrest.com/enterprise_password_safe.html) which seems to work well and avoids the need for us to have bits of paper with admin passwords written on them, or 101 different password vaults all of which end up out of sync with each other.
  
  There's no doubt that trying to remember many usernames and passwords is a problem, but there are tools out there which will solve the problem until the magical single sign on, multi-factor authentication systems become common.

• Creation is not the reason for ownership
  Companies from many countries pay for the hardware (including cables) which make up the net. If creation meant ownership then the following would be true;
  
  - Your television channels and broadcasting would be controlled by the Scottish.
  - Production of tanks (the ones with guns) would be controlled by the Austalians.
  - Wine production would be controlled by the Italians (thanks to the Romans).
  
  and you would not have control of many more things.
  
  Why not wake up and smell the coffee, the net isn't a US thing anymore, a majority of it doesn't go near US soil let alone come under US juristiction, and it is used for developing useful products which without worrying aboutUS patent madenesses.
  
  The rest of the world CAN afford to let you have your own little net which you can pass laws on while the rest of us get to use something truely useful to advance inter-country relationships in a peaceful way.
