@JourneymanGeek Not sure. I know that it's been an issue raised from time to time. No doubt that his experience living through the first and watching the world march toward the second world war had some influence on his work. That don't mean they were anti-war statements, however.
@Nick small potatos (baked - its a variation of the classic throw it in a pan with salt and chilli curry), ladies finger sambar, and banana stem thair patchidi.
@Nick Somehow, in Tron there was a beam that converted the fellow into data in the computer and he had to find his way out to the physical world again.
The best thing i've got so far is to use the really expensive hub and leave the iris device plugged into that. I replug the hub each time, 'sacrificing' it's USB wire to avoid damaging the device. But due to driver problems i have to restart the laptop 1-2 times before the iris device works with the hub
Oh well, guess that'll have to do. I'll upgrade to an SSD to make reboots faster
Random thoughts: 1) Could you run the software in a virtual machine, with USB pass-through, and only need to reboot the VM instead? 2) Could you use a cheap laptop strictly for that device and software, and have it hand-off the authentication token to the main unit? - The limited use laptop would have much lighter requirements, and boot faster.
@JourneymanGeek Triple Trouble: Govm't can't write code decently; Govm't won't admit that, and get someone capable to do it; Govm't requires you to use thier solution since they don't trust anyone else to do it <strike>right</strike> wrong.
@GypsySpellweaver Sorry for the late reply! I don't know about VMs but i did try that approach with a lite version of the client which uses a fingerprint reader and the fingerprint reader never worked properly when plugged in. To get it installed on a new computer i need to apply for permission which can take 4-5 months
Actually i won't. Some of the enrolment operators in another state did just that (Though not for nerarious purposes, just to avoid having to re-authenticate themselves at their center)
There was even a service offering to make fake fingers for about $200
Well to be honest, that'd be even cheaper :D This is India after all
To get yourselves a fake identity all you need is to pay some village head $5-10 for an identity certificate. You can easily build a paper trail off that
Though nowadays with the aadhar card thing people who did that are getting screwed
The govt. is trying to link the aadhar card to pretty much everything, from bank accounts to pension cards to life insurance and everything else. The infrastructure is miserably failing though
Add to that the fact that fingerprint readers have trouble reading fingerprints from senior citizens and people with dry hands and you've got a problem. People can't collect pensions, rations, open bank accounts e.t.c due to their fingerprints not matching up
Indian laws are a mess too. For example, there was this famous cricketer who had his aadhar enrolment details leaked by a government agency. When a big fuss of it was made, they blacklisted (And are now trying to imprison) the operator who made the enrolment, since he's the one who 'shared' those details with the government agency (Which is literally his job description)
I've tried both the mute and archive functions. But still, every time there's a new message in the Whatsapp group chat, the green circle thing with a number still shows up to notify me, and the group chat appears near the top. I can also read the first few words of the latest message in that grou...
