The situation in a nutshell: Uppity white people clogging the legal system with their bullshit. Basically the guy shouldn't be allowed to be CEO any longer [nudge, nudge, wink, wink...].
That may prevent me from chopping off your hand in order to gain access to your machine. Just a thought.
The press releases for new identification technologies are so slick and appealing (in general), but all the "new" technologies suffer the same basic flaw: the determined individual can not be stopped whether that individual is set on stealing your files or crashing an airliner into a skyscraper.
For $20,000 I will come to your home theater, put the Drunken Master DVD in your player, and punch you in the face in perfect synch with the on-screen fighting. Now that's reality!
I still have that domain in my/etc/hosts file from when it was a browser-crashing gay porn redirect, ~2 years ago. Are they legit now? What's next, the goatse.cx people doing a network security site?
"Eighty-nine nations have ratified the treaty, which became binding international law on March 1, 1999. Every country in the Western Hemisphere has signed, except the United States and Cuba"
Runnin' this baby @ 4.7GHz, we're talking about ridiculous levels of power consumption and heat dissipation, and I'm pretty drunk so I'll just shut up right now. Good night, slashdot, or good morning or what the fuck ever....
This is the cabinet agency that encompasses the Bureau of Indian Affairs, among other bureaus. How poetic would it be for the Red man to exact his revenge in this environment of computer monoculture the Department is establishing.

...we as a species have endured this digital age to be able to grok what transpires on the chemo-biological level in our cells.
What? Do you have any idea how much time (and how much RAM) it would take to launch 100,000 threads in Java? Do you even know how it is done? This may help:
Userspace threads:Java::Kernel space threads:C on Linux
. Nice way to use cavalierly in a sentence though.
Former Olympic gold medalist Ross Rebagliati was denied entry to the United States when he attempted to travel to the 2002 Winter Olympics. He was eventually allowed entry later in the week, after getting an attorney involved. I think this dragnet will extend much farther, potentially denying entry to any Canadian every busted for smoking a joint, unless said Canadian can afford an attorney.
...but as crimes have become drastically more violent and their impact greater on society because of the media, isn't it time to update the system?
You are demonstrating an attitude that is unfortunately becoming more typical. Are fingerprints really any better at keeping airlines safe?
Prints scanned by a reader in the airport terminal will only be proven to belong to the data record associated with the name on the boarding pass and ID card. Potential flaws, exploitable by anyone with the desire to take over an aircraft:
The original ID card associating the prints with an identity could have been fake
The data could have been altered by anybody with access to the system, both lawful and unlawful
Fingerprints can be read; can't they also be printed? Latex seems to be the perfect medium for the job.
Since the 9/11 attacks, many airlines have been successfully boarded with knives, box cutters, and handguns due to the $X Million equipment being manned by inept operators. Even with the fancy federal job titles, airport security staff will fuck up with any system. Guaranteed. Why should we waste taxpayer money on this one? Do you work for the vendor?
I think a large Americans are would do anything to feel secure, whether or not the product or legislative fiat can actually increase safety. Give up your privacy if you must, but don't imagine that everyone else will follow suit.

patents will become a province of the rich, just as the legal system has become. Yea class war!

Try not to load any more operating systems on your way out to the parking lot, okay?
