If I recall correctly, this is the SAME outfit that had one of their ground-based robots escape from its underground cell and make it outdoors before being caught.
The only reason it didn't get further is that someone ran over it in the parking lot.
The list doesn't take effect until October - those of you signing up now are giving the telemarketers a 'live one', to do with as they will for the next three months.
The marketers can get access to the list, with a FOIA request if no other way. Eventually they'll be required to posess this info.
The time to register is just before the August 31st deadline, and even then the telemarketers can use your number freely for a month thereafter.
You are absolutely correct - I missed that. But, how's this - a hologram of the epoxy/glass composite?
Granted they claim to address this in the article, I think their claim is bogus. In principle, using an optical probe a hologram is indistinguishable from the original, at least at the plane where the hologram is made.
Great. They use a laser to convert the 3D arrangement of glass spheres in an epoxy matrix to a 2D 'light/dark' pattern.
A crummy piece of film exposed at the sensor plane, then developed, could be used to get around this. Lay the film on the 2D sensor, and voila - the 2D pattern is duplicated!
Thought headline had to do w/code bloat

My first impression was that the 'powers of 10' was going to be about how code size keeps increasing to perform the same function.

Any informed comments?

It was the 'java' tag that did it...
