StrongArm was inherited from DEC based on an ARM 6 after a lawsuit, however the XScale is a complete rewrite and Intel doesn't pay any licensing fee to ARM.
The architecture is different, the cache mechanism is different etc...
ARM only license core, they don't produce anything therefore the original post was incorrect.
I would the biggest producer of ARM core are either Phillips, TI or Samsung
This is what I did:
found a second-hand HP Omnibook 800 with a 1GB hard-drive.
Installed FreeBSD on it. It's been runing FreeBSD 4.6 for about two years running as a router, modem (for 2 ADSL connection) and firewall.
Didn't fail once.
Exactly.
Current fingerprint technologies works all-right for 1 in 10,000. Some more intensive algorithm allows to identify 1 to 250,000.
This can't be used to identify everybody. But it's a good complement to an existing card system. People are already using a 4 digits pin-code. Adding the additional security of biometrics system in combination to existing cards is simply an improvment to what already exist
What all these threads shows. Only that most people here only talk on assumptions but also shows a lack of total knowledge in existing biometric technologies.
Funny that everybody follow blindly an article talking about some technologies, but when an article talks about what you know then it's always crap. Does it ring any bells?
And nobody question the article in any way?
The article was bogus.
New fingerprint sensor use RF technologies, not a simple scan.
So not only you can't fake it, but also it only works with alive tissue. Chop the finger off and it won't work.
RF technologies scan the underneath cells, including bloodstream. Very accurate, very efficient
Hi.
I'm Jean-Yves Avenard, working for HP (not for much longer)
The closure of ACO has nothing to do with calculators. In fact, HP stopped the development of new calculators two years ago and started to work on low-end PDA.
It's the economic downturn that's forcing HP to restructure itself and there were two divisions working on PDA (APCD in Singapore and the Jornada)
I would have other comments, but I've just signed a paper saying that I can't say anything bad about HP, and there's lot to tell:)
Cheers

Twins have different finger-prints... It has nothing to do with your DNA
