  1. Tracking by packetmon · · Score: 0, Redundant · on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like?

    Well for Windows I can tell you LoJack for laptop sucks. You should try creating your own script. See the thing with Windows crapaganda based "trackers" is they mainly track to src IP of wherever their little daemons call from. Means nothing since most ISP's won't provide you with an IOTA of information without a court order. In most cases in bigger cities, your machine will be wiped by the pawn shop owner.

    If you want something truly truly effective, talk to a vet about something similar to Verichip. Find out whether you can perhaps open up the machine and place it somewhere. Anything else would have to be IP based. For that matter a shell script will tell you what network your machine is coming from, nothing more. Unless you get creative but chances are if its stolen 1) it will be sanitized from all software 2) HIGHLY likely anything NIX based will automatically be wiped unless its swiped at say Linuxworld Op or something

  2. What are we - animals or human? by Garry+Anderson · · Score: 1 · on California Blocks RFID Implants In Workers

    The intelligence of it all - how could the authorities allow the use on humans in the first place?

    The VeriChip tagline is "RFID for people" - why? - what absolute need does it serve?

    VeriChip hope to get veryrich by treating people like animals.

    As to the pathetic excuses - surely, it is more humane to put a unremovable name bracelet on those with Alzheimer's disease.

    And hasn't high security establishments been safe - without implanted RFID chips?

    Its all going to happen here http://www.verichipcorp.com/ I garuntee we will one day all be forced into a society where we have to be marked, or "chipped" in order to co-exist if you will, or face becoming obsolete and outcasted. As the parent said, its only about 10-20 years away, but this could happen even sooner come some "disaster" that truely will strip us all of any freedoms... beware

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned VeriChip, especially after the CityWatcher.com story broke.

  7. Interresting Question by aepervius · · Score: 3, Interesting · on RFID Injection Required for Datacenter Access

    I went to their web site and many time they repeat the word "secure". Now granted this could be marketing bunk destined to pointy haired boss, but a passive RFID tag without private key cannot be qualified as secure even remotely. So I will stand on a leg and state that the GP is wrong and the Parent post is right, you cannot so easily copy the tag.

    What is quite frightening is that they purport on site tracking up to 15 foot (5 meter!). This is WAAAY beyond the distance the RFID-CHip-are-ok-sleep-safely-it-won't-be-abused-p eople purport is short. For me 1 foot is short. With 5 meters/15 feet readability, then you can REALLY immagine implementing a reader everywhere and fully track a population (in a firm/company/city/country).

  9. Also used on hurricane corpses by bigberk · · Score: 1 · on RFID Injection Required for Datacenter Access

    I've seen some press releases about the company that develops this VeriChip product including this weird one about how the implantable chip was used tag corpses after the gulf hurricanes. This kind of medical identification I can understand, but to allow yourself (as a living human) to have this injected into yourself? Are people that desperate to keep jobs in America?

  10. Compulsory RFID implants coming soon by Tandoori+Haggis · · Score: 2, Insightful · on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips

    I just had to go search for more info on RFID implants because sooner or later bills will be proposed by somebody that they be introduced, initially on a voluntary basis....

    Back in July silicon.com reported the following: "Tommy Thompson, the Health and Human Services Secretary in President Bush's first term and a former Governor of Wisconsin, is going to get tagged. Thompson has joined the board of Applied Digital, which owns VeriChip, the company that specialises in subcutaneous RFID tags for humans and pets. To help promote the concepts behind the technology, Thompson himself will get an RFID tag implanted under his skin." http://networks.silicon.com/lans/0,39024663,391505 25,00.htm/

    Verisign thoughtfully provide a method to save you getting your child swapped in the hospital. "The number of total switching incidents is as high as 20,000 per year in the U.S." But don't worry. In this case the tag is not implanted... http://www.verichipcorp.com/
