Why does this idea of putting computers in public restrooms keep surfacing? Perhaps we should flush twice.

So glad we're doing more to aid the stalkers and other folks you don't really want to be around. I'm sure this will be handled with all of the responsibility and good judgment we see exercised by companies handling personal information.
The change you speak of here is artificial. Why is it it costs so much more per person for health care in the US. I can tell you why, I just paid $1600 for two prescriptions that certainly don't cast that much to make, not even close. But, because no one stops them they charge what they want. Our government should not be paying these outrageous prices for our peoples health and neither should we. Regulate the drug companies and droves of "medical equipment" manufacturers that are profiteering on peoples pain, bring those costs down in line with at least the rest of world (we can do far better). That's where to get the money back, not by killing the poor and making medicine in the US elitist.
It sounds too damn much like freedom's last exhale to me. Now everyone back to their huts... we'll be turning the sun off for the night.
This is wonderful! Soon the computer will be able to tell us what's cool and what's not. We'll know just what products to by and when. Utopia I tell you!
Aldous Huxley was right.
We could use the keyboard to change the volume, attack, decay of musical note. Heck we could even include some side to side motion on the key to change other characteristics and... oh wait, my music keyboards have done this for years. Are you sure this is patentable? Oh, I guess if you can patent a word processor in 2009 you can patent anything....
The age old answer to this question is:
"I can tell if the computer is thinking but you must first tell if submarines can swim"
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
