"U.S. to Weigh Computer Chip Implant

WASHINGTON - A Florida technology company is poised to ask the government to market a first-ever computer ID chip that could be embedded beneath a person's skin.
For airports, nuclear power plants, and other high security facilities, the immediate benefits would be a closer-to-foolproof security system. But privacy advocates warn the chip could lead to encroachments on civil liberties.
No easy-to-counterfeit ID cards nor dozing security guards. Just a computer chip — about the size of a grain of rice — that would be difficult to remove and tough to mimic.
Other possible uses of the technology, from an added device that would allow satellite tracking of an individual's every movement to the storage of sensitive data like medical records, are already attracting interest across the globe for tasks like foiling kidnappings or assisting paramedics.
Applied Digital Solutions' new "VeriChip" is another sign that Sept. 11 has catapulted the science of security into a realm with uncharted possibilities — and also new fears for privacy.
"The problem is that you always have to think about what the device will be used for tomorrow," said Lee Tien, a senior attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy advocacy group.
"It's what we call function creep. At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good but then it slowly is used for more than it was intended," he said.
Applied Digital, based in Palm Beach, Fla., says it will soon begin the process of getting Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) approval for the device, and intends to limit its marketing to companies that ensure its human use is voluntary.
"The line in the sand that we draw is that the use of the VeriChip would always be voluntarily," said Keith Bolton, chief technology officer and a vice president at Applied Digital. "We would never provide it to a company that intended to coerce people to use it."
More than a decade ago, Applied bought a competing firm, Destron Fearing, which had been making chips implanted in animals for several years. Those chips were mainly bought by animal owners wanting to provide another way for pound workers to identify a lost pet.
Chips for humans aren't that much different.
But the company was hesitant to market them for people because of ethical questions. The devastation of Sept. 11 solidified the company's resolve to market the human chip and brought about a new sensibility about the possible interest.
"It's a sad time ... when people have to wonder whether it's safe in their own country," Bolton said.
The makers of the chip also foresee it being used to help emergency workers diagnose a lost Alzheimer's patient or access an unconscious patient's medical history.
Getting the implant would go something like this:
A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about $200 and the company encodes it with the desired information. The person seeking the implant takes the tiny device — about the size of a grain of rice, to their doctor, who can insert it with a large needle device.
The doctor monitors the device for several weeks to make sure it doesn't move and that no infection develops.
The device has no power supply, rather it contains a millimeter-long magnetic coil that is activated when a scanning device is run across the skin above it. A tiny transmitter on the chip sends out the data.
Without a scanner, the chip cannot be read. Applied Digital plans to give away chip readers to hospitals and ambulance companies, in the hopes they'll become standard equipment.
The chip has drawn attention from several religious groups.
Theologian and author Terry Cook said he worries the identification chip could be the "mark of the beast," an identifying mark that all people will be forced to wear just before the end times, according to the Bible.
Applied Digital has consulted theologians and appeared on the religious television program the "700 Club" to assure viewers the chip didn't fit the biblical description of the mark because it is under the skin and hidden from view.
Even with the privacy and religious concerns, some are already eager to use the product.
Jeff Jacobs in Coral Springs, Florida has contacted the company in hopes of becoming the first person to purchase the chip.
Jacobs suffers from a number of serious allergies and wants to make sure medical personnel can diagnose him.
"They would know who to contact, they would know what medications I'm on, and it's quite a few," he said. "They would know what I'm allergic to, what kind of operations I've had and where there might be problems."
Applied Digital says technology to let the chip to be used for tracking is already well under development.
Eight Latin American companies have contacted Applied Digital and have openly encouraged the company to pursue the internal tracking devices. In some countries, kidnapping has become an epidemic that limits tourism and business."

Nyt viimeistään kannattaa aloittaa tutustuminen tietotekniikkaan ja hakkerointiin. Kyllä noi implantit varmaan on aina helposti hämättävissä ja peukaloitavissa =)
5:8 Mutta Jumala osoittaa rakkautensa meitä kohtaan siinä, että Kristus, kun me vielä olimme syntisiä, kuoli meidän edestämme.
5:9 Paljoa ennemmin me siis nyt, kun olemme vanhurskautetut hänen veressään, pelastumme hänen kauttansa vihasta.
Löytyisikö joskus ihan oikeaa asiaa, ja omia mielipiteitäkin? Tai antaa olla, ethän parhaimmillasikaan pysty kuin nimittelemään toisia ties miksi.
Vastaa nyt vaikka alempana olevaan Juutalaiset Vs. Kristityt otsikkooni.
Kyllä, olen huomannut, että sivuillasi on tuhansia artikkeleita. Voisit samantien copypasteta ne kaikki tänne.
Heitä muuten tietokoneesi pois hyvänsään aikaan. Siinäkin on mikropiiri, ja tietokonettakin pystytään käyttämään vaikka mihin:-)
Ja lopuksi copypastena jotain mitä vain Englanniksi ensiksi satuin netistä löytämään, aiheesta viis.
Every culture on earth has developed some mathematics. In some cases, this mathematics has spread from one culture to another. Now there is one predominant international mathematics, and this mathematics has quite a history. It has roots in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, then grew rapidly in ancient Greece. Mathematics written in ancient Greek was translated into Arabic. About the same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. Later some of this mathematics was translated into Latin and became the mathematics of Western Europe. Over a period of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world.
There are other places in the world that developed significant mathematics, such as China, southern India, and Japan, and they are interesting to study, but the mathematics of the other regions have not had much influence on current international mathematics. There is, of course, much mathematics being done these and other regions, but it is not the traditional math of the regions, but international mathematics.
By far, the most significant development in mathematics was giving it firm logical foundations. This took place in ancient Greece in the centuries preceding Euclid. See Euclid's Elements. Logical foundations give mathematics more than just certainty-they are a tool to investigate the unknown.
By the 20th century the edge of that unknown had receded to where only a few could see. One was David Hilbert, a leading mathematician of the turn of the century. In 1900 he addressed the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, and described 23 important mathematical problems.
Mathematics continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. There is no end in sight, and the application of mathematics to science becomes greater all the time.

Olen vastannut jo "juutalaiset vs kristityt" otsikkoosi. Jos en vastaa johonkin, se on sen takia koska en käy täällä niin useasti.
Onko tämä oikeaa asiaa? Jos se ei ole sitä sinun mielestäsi, älä lue. Yritän saada otsikot niin selvästi kuin mahdollista, esimerkiksi juuri tämän threadin otsikosta käy aika hyvin selville mitä aihetta tässä tullaan käsittelemään.
Eivät mikropiirit ole pahasta, vaan se pelkästään jos niitä käytetään osoittamaan uskollisuutta Jeesuksen vastustajille.
Nantikan perhimpunan aman secara besar-besaran di seluruh negara sempena mengingati tarikh bersejarah iaitu 14hb April. Titik hitam bagi semua rakyat Malaysia. Satu tarikh yang gelap gelita bagi sistem perundangan Malaysia, sistem kehakiman dan institusi polis sendiri. "...kita akan tetap lawan. Kalau tidak minggu ini, minggu depan. tidak bulan ini, bulan depan dan kalau tidak tahun ini, tahun depan. Lawan tetap lawan..."
Elämmehän jatkoajalla joka tapauksessa. Profetiasi mukaanhan "ylösotto" piti tapahtua elokuussa -01.
Että et nyt rinnastaisi profetian tulkintaa profetiaksi.
tapahtui. Me vain ei päästy mukaan.
onhan toki tuokin tapa katsoa ko. asiaa.
näyttänyt Hevoinenkaan päässeen.
vain!
