George Orwell must be spinning in his grave.

Orwell must be spinning hard! We ought to lock up Chernoff!!

Oh, for pity's sake. I guess the gummi bear problem escaped his notice...

You can't gummi bear your way out of it. To keep your anonymity, you'd have to have a steady supply of pre-fingerprinted-by-somebody-else gummi bears ready, next to your laptop then.

And what about the eyes? You can't gummi bear them and if you do succeed in blurring your prints or eye scan or whatever, "they" probably won't let you on your own computer!!

Even so, you could be "deleted" any time they chose to. A few clicks of a mouse in some Homeland Security database and whammo!

"Access Denied" or "User does not exist".

I love gumni bears, btw.

What about body odour? Haven't heard of that ever been used as way to identify people. It may sound funny, but what if a pc can 'smell' who's sitting in front of it? Maybe not foolproof, but still funny as hell if my pc would make comments about it, like "phew! you need to take a bath boy, y'aint touching me like that. Go on. Kssht."

Glad you joined the 'league' too darkduskx! I hope many others will spread the word (and vid).

We should always differ between technologic development and abuse of power. The latter means repression and putting fear in our hearts by not telling the truth. The first means overcoming our fears by getting to understand the truth.
