The downside to using a biometric car lock – Engadget – www.engadget.com.

Been waiting for this. Tis a no brainer that if a body part is needed to unlock something of value, said body part will be removed and used by someone bent on stealing valuable item.

Worked installing a test security system for the gov a few years ago that included a biometric hand scanner. Wondered at the inclusion of this at the time for this very reason. May look and work good in the lab, but the real world tis a very different place. Gotta love those ivory tower design engineers…

New Scientist Breaking News – Hydroelectric power’s dirty secret revealed

This article doesn’t go into depth on the actual figures but what it says does make some kind of warped sense. But I also don’t (gut reaction only here) believe the bit about a hydro generating plant being more polluting than a coal or oil fired plant. Sounds like more of King George’s science “facts” to me.
