Re: OT : Identity chip
"I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape."
When I can put my identity on a chip, then I'll be interested.

Right, so I go to Brazil to escape Big Brother, then I decide that I can't stand living anymore and I slash my wrists, but I don't slash them hard enough, and the next thing I know the Brazilian Version of the FBI is knocking on my door... you call that escaping Big Brother?

Re: OT : Identity chip
Yeah, according to brazilian law you can be prosecuted for trying suicide, but normally the only punition for this is a psichyatric treatment...
But if you offend the Physical integrity of another person, then your punition is more severe...
So, in the case you go to the doctor to implant a chip in yourself, you will be punished (just a small punition, like doing community service), but the doctor (and clinic) that did the implantation will answer for the more severe crime, and can even lose their medical license...
And, before you ask, if someone else than a doctor make the implantation, then he will answer for a more severe crime yet "Illegal Exercise of Medicine", and can go to jail...

Re: OT : Identity chip
I would never agree to have a chip like that implanted in me. I'll carry around cards and things with me if I need to for ID purposes and so on but I refuse to have something like that embedded in my body.

Re: OT : Identity chip
a good alternative, pointet ou by Jack Simth, is using a kind of bracelet (or ring, clock, etc.) with all informations you need in eletronic form...
i saw recently to sale a clock with 256mb storage and with an USB mini-cable that you can connect in any computer (with USB connectors) so you can carry with you all your files, like documents, etc...
There are in the net a lot of Mini-Distribuitons of Linux that boot directly from USB drives, so you can , in fact, carry your computer with you... (mobile SEIV someone?)
BTW: there is any way to run SEIV in Linux? How?
