Talking about a database, have you seen "The Final Cut" with Robin Williams? Interesting.

Aaaah - Fuckem all, I say.
If they want me - - Most people can find just about anyone if they want to, in todays electronic world. Its only a short step to total surveillance by authorities! Do I give a shit ------not really! I'll do what I want to do, when I want to and, if the powers that be object - tough.........stand up to the bastards, I say, but, we'll all turn over and get shafted and meekly complain!!!!

(shit, I'm starting to sound like Scummy - quick - lay off the hooch!)

Shit was'nt it the religous zealots, aka 9/11 that gave the authority's worldwide the perfect excuse to come down on us?

Scary stuff huh what knee jerk reactions can have on us and following generations; Just before i left the UK 5 years ago now they were trialling surveillance systems in Scotland; Anyone with a criminal record had there photo's taken and into the database, Now the cctv cameras on the streets had software that scanned joe public walking down the high street and if your mug was matched in the database you were tracked as far as possible automatically!

Now i dont know what happened with the trials but scary stuff especially as, i believe, you had your mug shot taken for minor motoring offences in some parts of Scotland

Let me see if I've got this right. People have to relinquish their rights and freedom to protect freedom.
Newspeak?

Due to revelations in another thread it seems Wolf is big brother. I'm afraid, very afraid.

This is all quite interesting, One of the security email newsletters I get describes it like watching action movies. A new "movie" comes out (9/11 or bombs in UK etc) and they get all over it to stop that particular "movie" from occuring again. But they get so tied up with that they sort of lose the root cause. Then another new "movie" appears and they're off onto that. In the world of Neural Networks (computers that are trained to do a task), I think this would be called over training where they learn the training data so well they forget about the actual problem.

Personally I think it is only going to get worse
