I live in SF. Actually just blocks from their Marin office! And out here you see electric or hybrid vehicles everyday. And you get to talk to quite a few people. Here is what I have found out. Hybrid cars don't get all that great of mileage, especialy when you consider the cost. Heck you can buy a used Honda CRX for about $2g that will get 50mpg!
Actually you need to read this http://www.corbinmotors.com/sparrow_sun.html
It's a good story about the real difference between hybrid and full electric.
What a dork, call this a flame if you want but have you even held one of these things??? Obviously not since you are complaining about how big it is. The Treo is a good bit smaller then the standard Nokia, which is the number one phone on the market. Heck, except for it's antenna, it's smaller then my wallet.
Get a clue before you post. Some fool might think you know what your talking about.
I am sorry that I am left with no other term to describe Richards letter the BULLSHIT. How many times can he trapse out his personal opinions and try to pass them out as FACTS?!?!
"Given that the human face recognition performed by the check-in agents did not keep the hijackers out, there is no reason to think that computer face recognition would help"
Whats does he hope to accomplish with a lie like this. Is he telling me that he can keep a database of 50,000 known terrorists and felons in his head? Let's come to terms with the honest truth. Richard no one gives a damn about what is in your email. I am a network manager and many a time I have been forced to go through peoples emails and I can tell you it is the singel most boring thing a person can be made to do.
The only people who should be afraid of this are people who need to be afraid. And people like you are handing them their safety on a silver platter.
Benjiman Franklin said that anyone who choses security over liberty deserves neither. And many people would hold this as their flag for their cause. I would ask you what have YOU lost becase someone has taken a picture of you? Did they interupt your way of life? Did they stop you from doing anything?
One last note. I must admit that when I was 18 years old I was arrested for the murder of three men. I was stopped on the street by 6 police officers, patted down, hancuffed at gunpoint and arrested and finger printed. This all happened becase they thought I LOOKED like their suspect. I was released after being held for two hours. Had they been using the Face it software that would never would have happend. This is protecting your security!!!

Except that it's huge compared to the Treo and has no cover for the screen.
