paranoic moron - go read how digital fingerprint matching works.
they never store complete fingerprint image - only (what you called) a hash and original fingerprint is no way reconstructable from this hash. it's plausible that that shop may've selected to optionally store the image, but that's easily verifiable by looking at the hardware they use. not many of scanners will even optionally allow to do that.
This would make nice Turbo Boost gauge ..

You certainly can preach about 'feature-above-security mindset that needs to go' for as long as you want, but when it will come to the product not working at your biggest customer site due to the firewall setup and them not willing to mess it up just for trying out yet-another-beta proggy, you will consider SOAP, stunnel, httptunnel and anything else that will get you closer to the goal.
I agree that positioning SOAP as firewall-transparent protocol is.. err.. may get interpreted incorrectly by less experienced members of comp.sci society, but.. hey!.. you can misuse almost everything.
.. and (not re: your post, but a thread head) XML-based marshalling ? Give me a break... Once you start tuning the performance, you realize that bottleneck is often exactly in the freaking SOAP layer with its bloated XML data encoding. You certianly can compress it, but what's the need in XML there for then ?

I'm not sure what you mean by our industrial revolution, but it's commonly accepted to date industrial revolution back to the mid 19th century at its latest.

Mwaaahaahaa.... You just showed to entire slashdot that you dont know a thing about Windows and not ashamed of bragging about it. Moreover, *you* not being able to see debug output of CRT library does not mean it does not exists. It just means that you dont know where to look for it.

You would be surprised to learn that there is well-developed IT industry in Canada. Moreover, given flexible immigration policies and special government programs for attracting IT specialists (so-called EFW Pilot Project) there are literally thousands of developers/admins coming into the country from Eastern Europe, India and China each year. These people are very well skilled, most of them have Master degrees (due to immigration requirements) and majority of them beats local college graduates in efficiency, professionalism and industry experience. And unlike most of southerners newcomers are not hot for big bucks and will accept decent jobs for less. In other words, do expect competition... and that's apart from being paid in canadian dollars:)
I wouldn't mind to have simplified H.323, but who the hell needs reinvented wheel, when there is ESP for IPv6 and there is IPv6 with all buil=in goodies ?
You dont need to come with a formula though. All you need to do is to find *where in PI* your random string starts. Yet it may start very far from the begining and thus it's position number may happen to be larger than the source string itself:)
> * If the data was represented a different way (say, using bits instead of bytesize data) then patterns might emerge..
Then it was not 'random' data. As far as I remember from early Univeristy ages, random data is data that have 0 self correlation, thus it does not matter if it's a bit or octet-encoded
No pattern may be quite well compressed, but only in special cases. That's what some people call 'fractal compression', which AFAIK means replacing data with formula (and optional initial data). Decompression is simply iterative application of formula to the initial data. There are three problems though:
(a) generally it's lossy
(b) it's.. err.. very hard to find the formula
(c) not every data set can be compressed
Otherwise it's fine:)
.. how come format of its data feed is almost identical to GPS, huh ?
I worked for Moscow office of Ashtech (www.ashtech.com) at the time when their Engineering dept. was working on dual-mode receiver. That thinggy was supposed to understand both GPS and GLONASS signals and use both datafeeds for computing the position. And software guys were saying that integrating GLONASS data into existing GPS algorithms is a snap exactly because it is not only very similar, but also have almost the same format and sequencing.

I'm sure everyone in NSA shares your educated opinion. In case if you didn't know, these are the guy you should thank for DES, IKE and ISAKMP.

Would you care to elaborate on this argument ? For every bug in MSVC or Intel or Watcom there is a complimentary bug in g++ and c++. I worked quite a bit with all of these and the bottom line is that they all buggy, and there is no definite sucker amongst them.
