The End Is Nigh
If you're of an eagerly apocalyptic bent, this storyshould give you a little shiver of glee. The UK Ministry of Justice is investigating the use of satellite and radio-wave technology to monitor criminals. Only this time they're not talking about ankle or wrist bracelets, no that technology is yesterday's news. What they'd like to do, if no one minds too terribly much what-what pip-pip, is...

No, the guv'ment just wants us to have yellow stars with us at all times, with us in a huge database they control (and hence us).You'd think a Bar Code Nerd who sells barcode software would be in favor of real ID. Heck, we might sell stuff to Uncle and make...

My PayPal address isn't current. But it hasn't...
