This story over at news.com is reporting that Robert Cailliau, one of the original 'fathers of the web', is suggesting that surfing the Web should require a 'license' just like driving a car does.

Other than the complete disregard for security, privacy, and absolute loss of anonimity, this sounds like a great idea. *ahem*

Dan lives a quiet life in the bustling city of Milwaukee, WI. Although he founded what would become evolt.org in 1998, he's since moved on to other projects and is now the owner of Progressive Networks, a Zimbra hosting company based in Milwaukee.
