Every company Microsoft has selected to work with, has lost intellectual assets. The plot of the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" includes the part where Bill Gates essentially ripped off the DOS operating system and licensed it to IBM. Also there was the part about Bill Gates working for Apple computers while Microsoft created the Windows graphical user interface.
I'm sure the sun is made of materials (like gasoline) that we don't have that much of here on Earth. There are sun spots, they are the coolest locations on the sun. They keep moving so it will be impossible schedule a long mission to reach one of them. The power of the Earth and anything on it is insignificant when compared to the gravity and power of the sun. NASA will be toasted on this project.
If you read carefuly this system deploys a parachute in the rear of the aricraft. If an airliner is flying, there will high speed high temperature air (jet streams) that will probably puncture the parachute. This system is more likley to fail than work as intended. The parachute diameter will be larger correspond to the aircraft size and thrust capability. Also if this system deploys and does not burn-up, it will cause a loss navigational control causing that plane to crash. It will probably create a random bomb and result in protecting nothing.
Yes I agree this mechanism will fail to protect. There will always be a tool invented to strip biometric signatures from pictures. Most other copywright protections schemes (if not all) have been hacked anyway. This will probably only increase the complexity of the camera, and the size of each picture. There are too many useful cameras in use currently. What about film? I'm sure we're not ready to throw that away too. Finally this sounds like a touch of the Sci-Fi movie "the 6th day" where folks think they are taking an eye test... however... their personal data is captured/recorded and used to clone them! It's not clear how/or where the combination of your biometric data and name combination can be saved/or mis-used.
Dude, please understand that this whole RFID activity is just a scam to justify why some folks should get implanted. Also, nomatter how you think the accumulated data should be used, monitored, regulated, etc... there will be sombody with different perspective who can think-up some other use for the data. Finally, monitoring folks will not accomplish the original purpose (of keeping them from performance enhancing drugs they may already have, or others can get for them, or can arrive in the mail). Conclusion, this is a bad idea that will certanly lead to the dark side.
