Comment New organic beverage company in the making... (Score 1) 5

What they could do is create a new beverage company like what is starting in India. An upstart beverage company in India is using cow urine as the key ingredient in their new beverage said to be in direct competition with foreign cola companies like Coke and etc. Ideally we could see a new market spring up with 'organic' label for human pee power drinks. People would buy it because it's organic, and if i've learned anything from the "everybody poops" books it's that everyone also pees. I can see limitless potential. We could get astronaut endorsements because they'd be our 'celebrity' mascots, and of course a target customer since they drink pee in space. I can see the logo being a recycle sign with a person shadowed in the background. So it's making the direction from the top to bottom, and back up again! It would be glorious, and there are more of us than cows so i can see a unlimited resource with a vast marketability. ... I've had too many Bawls drinks today, back to the cube.

It puts the lotion on its skin..... Anyway, couldn't they just have the user stick out their tongue, or make a funny face they don't normally make when creating the biometric comparison data. I'd think it'd be hard to get me to do my fish impression for a photo whereas i'd be more inclined if my funny face was a password. I even think that would liven up the office environment seeing everyone make silly faces in the morning to log into their systems. I guess we can always go back to the finger readers with their play-dough flaw and masking tape hack.

Comment Just ask for the rights... (Score 1) 508

Had the same problem at my university for my senior design project. I worked for just under a year on the project, and according to the university to get credit I had to submit the full source of the project upon turning it in. I didn't like this since I planned to use it to start a business, and by policy of the university they would own full control. So what i did was simply ask for the professors to give me rights to my project. They signed a waiver, and so long as i outlined the project in detail with providing a compiled working version were ok with that. In the end i turned in a 76 page project report, my compiled code, and some powerpoints. That was it, they published the report in the library, filed with a CD of my project, and I own complete control of the source. Win win just by asking. Always be paranoid that no matter what you build at the college on their computers is owned by them unless you ask for it. Most are completely willing to give you the credit and sign away the rights if you just bring it to them first.
