Just had an interesting thought.

Scanners, photocopiers and printers already (so I understand) refuse to scan/copy/print images containing the eurion constellation.

If DRM'd images were displayed with a similar type of watermarking, which digital cameras could detect, then that could close off taking photos. (Screenshots themselves won't be possible with the DRM operating system in control - the DRM'd content won't display on screen with an app capable of taking a screenshot).

OK, so you could get away with film (you might need to do your own processing), but good luck digitising it. I guess you might be able to retype any text, though.

Given how quietly the eurion constellation was deployed, I wonder when we'd know if a similar blocking pattern is interpreted by digital cameras?

A New Data Encoding Scheme

The computer industry from its very inception has used the binary system to represent all types of information. This system has much to recommend it's use. It is simple to construct hardware based upon this system and all the normal arithmetic and logical operations can be performed upon it.

Heuristics are bug ridden by definition. If they didn't have bugs, then they'd be algorithms.
