I saw this story as a subscriber before most everyone else did, so I go to the site and download all the software before the site ends up getting slashdotted. I then download java, run the jar, scan my driver's license. Doesn't work.

Then I rotate the image 180 and find out it doesn't work. Then I go online and notice that California doesn't have a 2d barcode on the back of their licenses. Which comes to the rule of the day, which is apparently applicable to myself: You can be enough of a nerd to care about what's on your barcode, and still be a complete fucking moron.

.I go online and notice that California doesn't have a 2d barcode on the back of their licenses. My experience was actually the exact opposite. I checked my id (new as of March 2003, so less than one year old), and saw no 2d barcode. Figured, what the hell, and decided to look to see what good 'ol Minnesota has for privacy (overall not too bad, only a [slashdot.org], separate [slashdot.org].) I saw that Minnesota indeed does have a 2-d barcode, however it is nowhere on anyones licences that I checked made this year (I.

I used mine to keep track of my customers DLT tapes. Since we were up to a library of ~500 tapes and were changing them out at a rate of 25 every 10 days or so it really paid off. In fact I had my brother write a little VBA app on top of Access to keep track of their container and position. That way when the library needed new tapes I could take the reports from Veritas and pick out the tapes that were ready to be reused and know right where they were. Before doing this it took me about 3 hours a week to ch. IANAL, but I'm a news writer at times. And you can't copyright a fact.

A copyright on a 9, 10, or 11 digit number just isn't going to stand, and neither is a copyright on an address. It is your address or number, it already appears on plenty of public records, and thereofore uncopyrightable documents. You can copyright an expression of a fact, so maybe a copyright of your address in your handwighting will stand. But you're not going to ever get copyright protection on your personal info, reporters can use your name all they want while talking about you, and the same goes for basic facts about you.

Yeah, but the definition of a compliation isn't going to cover facts about one person. The only compliations that are going to ever get protection are those about multiple people or multiple thing. Think 2 or more database records in a table.

If it can be properly expressed in one record, it's not going to make it. Remember, it's the people who compile lists of data who are behind the effort to make sure copyright protection extends to what they do. They're not gonna be dumb enough to propose a law that puts themselves out of business.:). Most barcode readers / magnetic swipe readers work with drivers that simulate keystrokes. And that's why the point at which you're allowed to scan the card just happens to be same screen at which you can type the number in manually. The device just needs to be configured for what sequence of enters/tabs/etc. To enter after a scanned number.

For example, a credit card reader at a POS unit would be set to output the first 16 characters on the card, and then maybe [tab] to exit the entry box and [enter] to clear the 'Are you sure? Hook the same reader up to any free-text entry screen, and the number ends up in plain view. In my opinion, we're less than 100 years away from basically a total lack of 'privacy.'

I'm not entirely sure this is a terrible thing, but it will certainly have interesting ramifications for society. Once people know that essentially no one's a saint, we'll all be a lot better off without the sanctimonious holier-than-thou crap we get so much of today. I am honest in all my dealings except the occasional shoplift from Barnes & Noble. I'd be fine with a lack of privacy, because everyone would be under equal scrutiny. The thing that bothers me is unequal privacy - which we're at right now.

Once everyone's life is part of a public record, we're all equally screwed and we can build our society around a new, more honest paradigm. Buku model pembelajaran kooperatif pdf to doc. Its idealists like you that are source of the problem.
