Have you seen the maximum speed you can change an I/O pin at? All the pins are accessed via a multiplexer on the SPI bus - really slow.
Also the pins are very limited current capacity. 10mA max, less if you turn on several pins.
That is the problem biometrics were INTENDED to solve. But all wishful thinking aside, so far nobody has been able to DESIGN a biometrics system that actually solves it.
Just because it doesn't solve the problem 100% doesn't mean it isn't damn useful.
I'm not saying it isn't evil, but in India it may be the lesser of two evils.
I believe we will see most of the coverage tonight trying to paint the shooter as a supporter of one side or the other on this whole stalemate deal. Fact is, unless he managed to shoot a few legislators, it won't matter anyway who he sides with, since he's obvious nuts.
I want to know what'll happen if he's NOT Muslim. How will they spin that story?
obviously gasoline cars never catch on fire
They obviously do, but you're forgetting that the fire brigade had to use a POWDER extinguisher to put this fire out!! OMG PANIC!!!!
What happened to live and let live?
It's just a club, like a club for stamp collectors (or whatever).
Mensa might not sound useful to you, but they obviously think it is or they wouldn't be paying membership fees.
(And remember: They're smarter than you...)
Hobbyists like it because it's "free money". Plus their bitcoin mining machines are like penis extensions, they can wave them around in front of other people on the Internet.
PS: It's not free, mom has to pay the electricity bills.
This guy keeps turning out to be worse than we thought the day before.
Bitcoins turn you into a bad person, mmmmmkay?
Never nudes.
See, that would require having good judgment and putting a thought or two towards contingency.
Nope. It would require a magic sixth sense that lets you know that the apparently trustworthy person you're with won't turn into a total asswipe six months from now. To date, there's no known method.
It also requires that none of his buddies will 'borrow' his cellphone when he's asleep/drunk and that he's incapable of hiding a cellphone in a place where you might be naked, or even just surprising you in the shower.
etc.
Short version: Life isn't the perfect little utopia you were imagining when you said that.
Although you're posting as AC, you make a decent point to which I would like to see a riposte.
Have you ever climbed Denali or Everest or Chimborazo? I can bet that the folks who do today will love having longer-term charging power.
The folks who do it today have things like this: http://www.amazon.com/Innovative-Digital-Hand-Crank-Emergency-Charger/dp/B0089QB2KY/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_2
They're more reliable than fire in a strong wind (strong winds occasionally happen on Everest, and I should know, I've climbed it 16 times).
Day one server issues for a AAA release??? STOP THE PRESSES!
We sold 10 million copies in the first 24 hours
If only life were that simple...that we could trust other people and know what they were going to do to us just by looking at them.
(Also that nobody could steal pictures from a bro's cellphone while he was asleep, etc., etc.)
Who exactly gets to determine when a disclosure of photographs is or is not allowed?
I think this law is addressing that issue.
And doing it correctly. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Who cares?
Their future employers, etc.
Seriously, when did people become brain dead about stuff like this
It's called "puberty".
Or did nobody here not do stupid things when they were teenagers? Too busy playing video games...?
Back in those days, photos were taken on photographic film which had to be developed, and in 99.9% of cases by someone not taking the photo or in the photo. Therefore, someone else would see the nudey.
That's why Gentlemen Took Polaroids.
