I wonder if this will cause a backwards shift in the computer trend. Isolate terminals and servers with sensitive data on seperate networks with no outside data lines. This wouldn't in any way stop the physical methods that this this bill seems to authorise, but the current trend of everyone being 'wired' might falter a bit in Australia.
This could also spawn a whole new set of consumer products dealing in heavy encryption, where every single piece of data sent, even notes inside a company, is hardware encrypted in the background.
I can't wait to 3D model with a force feedback mouse. Need to stretch that vertex ever so slightly? Just increase the tension and slowly push it in. It's like working with virtual clay. And talk about cool image maps, when feel a ripply water effect under your hand or maybe a rough stone gateway. Not to mention the possible application for the visually impared, feeling the pointer drop into the the scroll bar around a window. You can have your touchy mouse, I want a feely one. P.S. I know somewhere in Palo-Alto California there is a company making this, I just wish I remebered whom. Read that article years ago.
Whould you like to hack? >Yes Where would you like to hack today? >? CIA? >No Bank? >Yes Hacking complete, have a nice day. --------------------- Will we ever see anything even close to the real thing? I doubt it, the only way I stand it is with lots of caffine and a few tylenol. Pour on the sex and violence.
