I think git has got what you seek. http://git-scm.com/

A) The first web site that decides to block traffic from this site. I can almost see the msg, "You have tried to access this content from an anonymous internet address." Please resubmit your request from a trackable source." Or something. B) The fact that, being the first of its kind, this ISP is a pretty juicy target for those who oppose such activity. I suspect the only way to deal with A & B is that multiple such ISP would have to both form and sign-up subscribers en mass. Without such, both A & B seem like barriers to success.

Well... I am sure the additional server load from curious slashdotters like myself can only be helping.

"Ahhh!!! A back door!" ... and then I left the theater.

In what has to be an interesting twist on net neutrality and bandwidth throttling, Netflix has released their numbers for network throughput sorted by ISP. Clearwire comes in dead last out of 16 US ISPs: http://techblog.netflix.com/2011/01/netflix-performance-on-top-isp-networks.html

... forever. Is it more likely than cold fusion? I mean, both are theoretical, promise good things for mankind, and have a spotty past filled with false promises and dashed hopes. I am guessing we see a Duke sequel before we see a perpetual energy source, but that's me looking on the bright side.

Slightly off topic, but it reminds of the person who once asked, "If I whistle a popular rock song where someone else can hear and then they start whistling it too, have I made an illegal copy?"

Seems to me that the largest force driving iPhone/iPad/iPod success is the Apple Store. It's huge, draws developers, and provides good product at dirt cheap prices. OS considerations have become secondary.

Correlation will make for defensible decisions. Ones where you can look to your peers and say something like, "Look, they were browsing with Chrome. How could I know they would default their loan?" And your loan granting colleagues will all nod their heads and sympathize. Correlation may even help one to make decisions with more predictable outcomes, even when the causative factor is unknown. While trying to anticipate the future correlates with well with being human, past performance does not guarantee future results. Either way, I'm switching to Chrome until the data indicates otherwise.

Interesting, but... The scheme fails to account for the fact that human bones remodel and change shape over time. In fact, the premise appears to count on the fact that people's bones will remain unchanged. It's just not so. The skeleton is a changing organ. More info can be found in this wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling One could imagine a database of "bone information" that is cross-referenced to identity. While it's possible the data would initially be useful, over time the database would become increasingly inaccurate as peoples' bones changed. How often would the authors suggest that people be rescanned to maintain accuracy?
