  5. Re:The right way to do it on Would You Submit Biometric Data to Join a Gym? · · Score: 2, Informative

    1) Make it optional. Don't want to submit your thumbprint? Fine.
    But if you switch you get a 3% discount and a free drink every month! But you loose a bit of privacy.

    That's the way big stores (Walmart&Co) get you to switch to their rabate system. You safe $50 a year. They earn $100 because the sell your data to "data blackhole" companies like ChoicePoint.

    How much worth is your privacy?

    Don't wait until there is any kind of self regulation in the "data grabbing business".

    In Germany the data belongs YOU! You have the right to demand for information regarding your personal data. If the company does not ansnwer in time (14 days) you can inform the data protection officer and he will investigate for you.

  6. programming == free speech? on Do We Need a Sarbanes-Oxley for The Internet? · · Score: 1

    1) Take a look what PGP did to export their book of PGP source code.
    2) Can the (US) government order you what you have to do at $DAYJOB or in your free time?

  7. Security is a process not a project on Do We Need a Sarbanes-Oxley for The Internet? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As a CEO you can't start a project called "Let's get secure!" and expect to be immune to all threats.

    Security isn't a one time spending.

    You can't spend 2 times the amount of X Dollars and expext to be 2 times more secure than spending only X Dollars!

    Security is a process.
    Security is a process.
    Security is a process.
    Security is a process.
    Security is a process.
    Security is a process.


    You have to rethink everthing everytime.
    Security nees a steady budget.

  12. Tactics on The War on Public Knowledge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The current administration doesn't want to help compile their own "I messed up..."-list.

  15. Fibre Optics? on Sunlight in a Tube · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why didn't they use Fibre Optics?

  16. sea and deep sea research??? on Interstellar Pioneers Facing Termination · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why go so faaaaaaar away?

    70% of the earth' surface are oceans.
    It's easier to send men to the moon and back, and have them do some space walk than to dive 4000m deep and do the same.

    Sub surface research is not "sexy" enough and you don't have this cool simulation videos what 42 million dollars spent might look like if nobody get confused by inches and centimeters...

    Tinfoil covers, anyone?"

    Just wait for the law that makes the use of tinfoil illegal.

  25. google.de vs. google.com on German Search Engines Self-Regulating · · Score: 2, Interesting

    - I am a german, but I am not a nazi. I belive in a democracy and don't want to change that.

    I am not for censorship

    The neonazis say "Die Nazis haben nie Gaskammern gebaut, alles eine Lüge" (Translation: "The nazis never built gas chambers, that's a lie!"

    If you use google.de, you will get the "censored" results. For example links to informations/documetation websites that explain why this was a bad period in german history....
    I think there will be no links to any websites of Garry Lauck"

    If you use google.com you will get "the american version" of the results.

    My opinion is that you can not surpress other "beliefs" but you can inform that these beliefs are bad or caused people to behave barbarous against other people.
