Of course the picture doesn't show anything interesting except a box labled "Patent Pending U.S. Government Security Prototype"
The funniest thing is the url. Page392.html? Come on...don't tell me with all the money they're spending on this they have someone making a site in Microsoft Publisher. *view source* wow...
Since I used to work there...I should know. They don't take fingerprints. They take measurements of the bones in your fingers and how they're spaced etc.
This is such old news I really don't know why it's on/. The technology has been in place and has been used for years.
And, my 0.02 on the privacy issue is: Are people really SO uptight that they're scared of someone knowing what one of the finger's bones looks like? Maybe you'd prefer something less pervasive...like the new face scanners? Or...is your face private too? Put the bag over your head.
Here's the thing with biometrics. They're the best that computer's can do. Humans can look at each other and instantly identify someone we know. But, since you can't expect every Cast Member to know every guest, there has to be a system. It's really that simple. Why is it that as soon as a computer attempts to mimic what human's do so well people are in a uproar.
So, to all of you that don't like getting your finger bones measured, wear gloves. You never know...you might be walking down the street and someone might see or even look at your hand!
Precisely. I can just imagine the debates now. Problem is that if her life does go to hell, she will blame NASA, everyone else will blame self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe your life will go to hell, then you will find a way to make it happen.
I personally think this is rediculous. I refuse to let my fate be decided by astral bodies...even though I'm a pisces.
You're correct. It's not a PHP problem. I'm only sad because of the association with PHP...perhaps like Microsoft is sad that Windows has some bad programs.

In the Story. Movable Type is written in Perl...not PHP. The problem is in the PHP XML-RPC libraries.
That I use Movable Type which won't be effected by this. Makes me sad that it's in PHP...since I love PHP. You can't have everything.
I just posted the word "Stealth" on my blog about 50 times. Just try and sue me. http://www.orangehairedboy.com/
Can't wait till the whole world is available. I think it'll mean Google will dominate the mapping industry, but, it's the best thing out there.
