I think the difference is that my biometric data is my mine, and not my employer's. It can be used in various nefarious ways by my employer or someone who steals it from my employer. Thus, I choose not to share it.
If the company needs to keep track of my whereabouts during working hours, they should use something *they* own. I recommend hiring managers who can actually tell if their team is at work on a particular day.
As a kid I had my father's old Erector set. It was probably made in the late 40's or early 50's. It was a steel box the size of a briefcase, filled with all sorts of Erector parts including magnets and a motor (broken). The thing was too heavy to lift, so it lived on the floor and just got dragged around by its handle. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.
I'd like to hardwire one of these into my car. There are too many a-holes on the road who are too busy talking to drive. And no, I don't care about speakerphones or headsets; it's still dangerous and irresponsible.

Those panoramic pictures look *exactly* like downtown Socorro.

Thank goodness it's either/or, because you can't have both.
Shouldn't Henry Rollins be hosting coverage of this long distance robot war?
Australia To Use GM To Control Carp
I read that too fast and momentarily thought Australia wasn't going to let lousy American cars be sold there any longer.
I gotta cut down my caffeine intake.
>> Is there something about the Martian atmosphere that would prevent this?
Mars has 1/100th the atmosphere of Earth, yet 38% of it's gravity.
>> Perhaps the Martians don't want us messing up their planet?
I'll worry when they start flinging our inter-planitary litter back at us.
It's an unmanned mission and they still included a dozen cupholders?

Very true, but probably not the ideal way to put it in this context.
Yeah, ditto this, and add that 29,000 GB doesn't sound that large either. What's up with that?
Now if ThinkGeek would just offer dishes and utensils.

No, it's ok. After we destory humanity, apes will rule the planet. Really.
1. Is he a good writer? Why do you think so or think not?
2. If I'm only going to read one of his books, which one should I pick? Why?
3. What other writers is he similar to, and in what respects?
