Sign Your Name Online With A Mouse
icke writes "Soon, the way you use your mouse could help prove who you are. According to a BBC News article, scientists have found a way for people to sign their name online using a mouse instead of a pen. The technology, based on the research from Queen Mary College, University of London by Peter McOwan, 'uses a neural network to pick out the unique features of the way that someone uses a mouse.'"

Banaaaana!
Just what I need. Computers to tell me I'm not me when I sign my name. At least with people I could make a convincing argument.
it's just ms paint with a web front end and a bunch of offshore labourers visually verifying each one !!!! ! !!
it's 99% accurate because of carelessness and post-lunchbreak bloat factor
And pens won't work either, because you can easily photocopy a signature and trace over it. Oh well, back to the drawing board...
Christ... first thing I did when I read that was stop moving my mouse.. then the thought crossed my mind that by doing that, I was just setting up a new signature, so I started moving the mouse. Then, I started to think that maybe I was moving the mouse in my own special way, so I tried to make something up.
Then it occurred to me that I'm using lynx.

He was probably talking about the pornstar. And if there isn't a pornstar named John Handcock, there damn well needs to be one.
A lack of John Handcock is un-American(TM), dammit.
