I think you may be slightly confused if you believe it will "automatically transfer" information. Quite the opposite, rather.
Your situation sounds like you might do well to look into SecureID tokens from RSA Data Security. I recently had the opportunity to hear what RSA is doing these days, and one of the examples they had for implimentation seems like it would fill both your needs, and the companies.
The basic idea is this: The paitent has a token, which every 60 seconds, generates a random number. I cannot recall how long said number is, but it's over 8, I'm sure. This, paired with a PIN number that the paitent knows, are what is entered in the password prompt. On the server side, the server running the RSA app has a copy of the RND seed in the token the paitent has. It keeps the same interval that the token does. (For those worring about the token getting out of synch, RSA has a rather niffty way to deal with this.) Then, when the server see a login attempt, it compares what is coming in, from the password box the user filled in, with it's copy of the seed, factors in the PIN given, and if the results match, access is granted. Simple two factor security. It combines something the paitent knows, the PIN, with something the paitent has, the token.
- BEGIN (hopefully intelligent) RANT MODE - When people start talking about "protecting the children," two questions come to my mind. One: Do the people with these concerns have children themselves? And two: If they do have children, what are they doing AT HOME to "protect the children?"
If people want to monitor what their children read, see, and listen to, they should monitor it themselves, not expect there to be labels on everything! Come on, folks! You wanted the child, or at least the fun of making one. Now it's time to act like a parent, and start minding what your child does at home. Don't expect the teachers, government, movie and music industries to do something you are not willing to do in your own home.
Grow up, parents. Start doing your job as PARENTS, not just as people concerned about "protecting the children." And, for those that care, though she is not mine, I do these things for the child in my family. I can turn the mirror on myself. Can you? Please. Try it sometime. You will probably be happily surprised, both at how your child responds and how it makes you feel that you are actually parenting. - END RANT MODE -
I have four systems that I work with regularly in my office. I have a four banger Cybex switch box to control them. The basic idea is, you spend all that money for the egro keyboard, and 21" screen, you can use just one set of peripherals to control all the systems. There are monitor, mouse, and keyboard cables running from the back of each box to the Cybex. Then, the keyboard, monitor and mouse that I use run to a different set of ports on the Cybex, and BAM! There ya go, four systems, neatly running, with one set of periphs to control them.
YMMV, of course, but I even use this solution with my home network. One more thing, you can set the Cybex to "scan." View one system for 5 seconds each, and switch to the next in line. They really are a neat trick, but a bit pricey.
Geez! This is terrific. Geez! This is terrible. Therer are two main arguments regarding this matter. Yes, it would be wonderful to clone, say, a leg for one that was lost in an accident. It would be beautiful to give somebody the hand that was maimed at birth. How horrid to have to worry that you were the only you in the world. Awful to consider the ethics of this.
So, good? Bad? Who knows. But, this is for sure "Stuff that Matters."
Curious question. What *WOULD* you recommend? ApplixWare? Something else? I would seriously like to know, as this may matter to me greatly in the near future.
The interstate highway program was startred to revitilise the US economy under FDR. It was a form of government subsidised "busy-work," to get people back from the war into the workforce again. Same with the Hoover Dam.
This ("...massively ambitios program...") would truly be fantastic, as my girl-friend and I are both EAGERLY waiting the day cable-modem access comes to our neighboorhood. Something like this would do the trick, offer jobs now, and a fair surity of jobs in the years to come.
Funny how that works out. Have a non-illegal job, make decent money, win the attention of a wonderful woman. At least, it works for me! Love ya, Bunnie!
Much as I would like to think that this is a farce, if you had been following the threads from these sites for the past few days, you would have perhaps noticed that there were similar worries about possible legal action.
I've heard about these in the past. The ad for it was the drive pictured beside a baby chicken. The HD was coming out of a cracked egg. Made me laugh, then made me think about the fragility myself.
