Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic cat. Steve Austin will be that cat. Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster.
Iris scanners check to make sure the pupil moves and the eye is made of liquid BEFORE doing other checks, so a screenshot isn't going to help.
They do a neat little radar-screen-like scan, transforming a circle into a 2D map. That 2D map is what's compared. I would make a stab and say it's difficult to reconstruct the iris from the map.
Iris scans (as of right now) have the lowest failure rate of any biometric. They're better than fingerprints because the iris is behind the cornea, so it's less likely to be damaged or changed than the fingers - which are always going places they probably shouldn't.
All those jerks that take penicillin for everything, then don't finish the whole round and save it for later and take it whenever, aren't going to have as long to become germ factories for resistant strains.
I hate those assholes. When we're taken down by some hyper-TB, I swear, don't ever mention to a guy with a gun that you ate antibiotics like aspirin before the plague.
Ross Anderson talks about this (here) having happened sometime in the 80's when ATMs were first launched in the UK - and how the banks 'conspired' together to keep videocams out of the ATMs so that these phantom withdrawls could be foisted off as 'forgetfulness' on the customer's part.
Intresting book -- ~1 typos per page, though. Burns the eyes of an English Major.
Just because during a reenactment of the documentary film, "Ice Lord Fists: Attack Hunter Zero" your buddy in the ice suit got his braces stuck does not mean you can call it research into meteor impacts.

Gripping audio versions of The Inferno and Tom Jones! I cannot wait to fall asleep at the wheel while Virgil (in a nasally German voice) goes on for eight hours. Whee!
Carnivore was so they'd have the edge on being cool.
As you can see, even with advanced technology and a huge corpus of email and search requests, coolness is all about the mirrored shades and gold embroidery.

Maybe I missed it... Before I turned off the NewsSpeak (thank you, Jello Biafra...) I remember reading Levy rolling around like a puppy on stink about how XP was great. This was his preview piece on it, before it came out. He loved the stability.
Anyone else got that uncontrollable urge to doink someone in the eyes really hard, three stooges style?

Finally, someone else collecting Stardust. There are enough remixes out there.

Steve Austin. Astronaut. A cat barely alive.

Tune out. Be yourself.
Next, break a different drinking glass over your head. Now, a friend's head. Now, an enemy's. Which was most satisfying? Why? Explain.
