And what happens when you end up with a German Enigma Machine-esque codebreaker?
Giving the government the ability to keep these documents "secret" but also to track them and the legitimacy of the document is a surefire that they get precisely what it is they want, and not necessarily what is socially responsible - there would be no leaks, there would be no unwanted information, they would have nearly complete control over them... thats a lot of power, a lot of dangerous power. There would be no room for one morally concious person, they could simply be squealched or fingered as a terrorist or a traitor... Its carte blanche for them to do whatever they see fit.
If you still have to make sure that everything is secure at the end of the day, is this 'safety measure' really ensuring the safety which it ought to?
But, does this so-called chemical firewall prevent you from burning the paper with fire? I think not...
Whats to prevent people from copying it out by hand? So it has an "invisible" mode... visible or not, if there are chemicals, it can be read... Any hackers out there with biochemistry or chemical engineering degrees? Heh...
It does raise an interesting point though, these folks could very well become the microsoft of the photocopying world. Whats to stop them from making this sort of printing mandatory for copyright sake? Assuming they managed to get that in line, I cant imagine what'd happen to Xerox stocks when people are no longer able to freely photocopy.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, 'I refuse to live in a world without freedom to steal other people's intellectual property!'.
Well, I havent been able to take a look yet... But... I was pretty sure most gamers already know enough about gaming, the advent of gaming, gaming history, et al, to not be bothered enough to stop gaming long enough to watch a video about something they could be doing... Maybe thats just me though. *shrug*
Said me to scott eagle, "Get a fucking life you braindead sonofabitch, I cannot name a single pc user that wants your shitty software on their computer(s). Youre lucky noone has sued your ass for all youre worth."
It may not be be pretty, but its fucking insightful. How about you watch what -you- say, Mr. 'Im head of a corporation that stays afloat by suing other people over a matter of simple symantics'.
It must be hard being so infamous, its kinda hard to make a credible point when nothing you say has an ounce of truth to it.

Trouble brewing. Now, if only I wasnt so ridiculously poor... perhaps I could actually afford it.
