  1. Some airports have incorporated this technology.. on Vein Patterns to Verify Identity · · Score: 1

    at least five years ago. I remember my first flight to Japan, fro Tel Aviv Airport, this technology was used at Tel Aviv, instead of passports. The real problem with this technology is that if your hand gets scarred, or superficially injured in some way, the ID process isn't worth anything anymore.

  2. This technology may be very interesting... on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...utilised in tatoos. Think about it. A tattoo that tells time, a tattoo that changes expression according to your mood, hell, even a tattoo that can become a computer interface.

  3. Re:I For One, on Nanotech Trojan Horse That Kills Cancer · · Score: 1

    well, there's this little article right here that talks about personality altering brain parasites..

  4. now, wouldn't it be amusing if... on Drilling to the Center of the Earth · · Score: 1

    "The team wants to retrieve samples from the mantle, six miles down, to learn more about what triggers undersea earthquakes" wouldn't it be amusing if the drilling triggered an undersea earthquake?

  5. actually... on Television on your Phone · · Score: 1

    this isn't news. the israeli branch of Orange, and several other israeli cellphone network companies have already been offering a similar service for a few months now.

  6. now, wouldn't it be amusing if.. on MS Calls On Kids to Stop Thought Thieves · · Score: 1

    a few of the movies submitted, from different parts of england, will have almost exactly the same plot?

  7. Re:Prisoners on Running a Website from Your Prison Cell · · Score: 1

    by commiting a felony, you are essencially excluding yourself from the social contract by which you are afforded any rights at all (by ignoring the rights of others). not true. not in a democracy, anyway. rights aren't privelages, or perks, that your country gives you. While rights may be restricted, they may never, ever, be withdrawn. Your right to free speech, for instance, falls under the caregory called "natural rights". it's not an [if..then] situation, and looking at it as if it was is a very dangerous way of thinking.

  8. Re:IDF has smart people working for them ... on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    actually, no. The orthodox jews-the "scholars", don't serve in the military, but most of them don't acknowledge israel's existance, either, as lon gas the messiah hasn't come. the "heavily armed" ones--the ones in settlments in palestinian territories however, do serve in the military, and are proud of it. you've mixed two very different schools of thought in judaism and in israeli society.

  9. seriously, though, on Robotic Arm Controlled By Monkey Thoughts · · Score: 1

    this could change the world of prosthetics. also, it could help with better understanding dolphins, for instance. teach them to write, or sign language, and enable researchers to communicate on a higher level with them, if they are indeed capable of that sort of communication.

  10. Wow.. on Robotic Arm Controlled By Monkey Thoughts · · Score: 1

    does this mean that monkeys can finally have opposable thumbs? ...hey, no, wait.
