How will the national identity card work? - 2 views

  • For the smart card technology to work, it must be backed up by fingerprint and eye-scanners in banks, shops, estate agents, hotels, and public services such as hospitals. To check your identity they in turn must have 24hr access to the National Identity Register (NIR). Every time the card is used, information about when, where, and how it was used is stored on the database in the form of an audit log.

  • create a whitelist of websites that the user doesn't mind being tracked by. So, for instance, if you are fine with the personalisation at Nytimes.com, you could choose to have your browser not send the anti-tracking header to that site.

  • by using the Network Advertising Initiative page, but those cookies aren't permanent and if you clear your cookies, the opt-out disappears. Abine's tool makes them permanent and keeps the anti-tracking cookies, even if you clear other cookies.

Ways to Watch BBC iPlayer Abroad - 1 views

  • iPlayer service by checking the physical location of the Internet provider you are using to connect to the Net
    • dec_burke
       
      How does this work? What are the technical terms. (CT)
    • ChunTing Yip
       
      The iPlayer service is able to detect you're IP address or ISP through your network and track down your location. As every area has a different IP, it would be easy to locate. There are IP locaters that allow systems to track physical locations around the world.  Unless you use a proxy server, it would be harder to track down your physical location, as it has no direct route back to your computer.
  • f you've got access to a PC back in the United Kingdom you can make a virtual private network tunnel back to that PC and connect to the iPlayer web site thru that PC, this can cause it to look like you are in the United Kingdom.
    • dec_burke
       
      How does this work? Use some technical terms to describe. (WK)
  • Firstly should you pick substitute or VPN options,

      What is substitute? What is VPN? Use technical terms. (Conan)
    • Conan Cheng
       
      A VPN is a private network that uses a public network to connect remote sites or users together. A key feature of a VPN is its ability to work over both private networks as well as public networks like the Internet. 
    • Conan Cheng
       
      TOR and Foxyproxy are examples of alternatives for VPN. TOR(The Onion Router), is an online anonymity system keeping user's internet activities from being monitored. Foxyproxy is a a firefox plugin that allows you to add proxies, keeping your ip hidden when you use it.

  • so it is reallly a bargain for those among us who need to watch iPlayer abroad!
    • dec_burke
       
      Who are the stakeholders and how are they affected by this technology? (WL)
    • jawwanling
       
      The stakeholders would be the users of BBC iPlayer. Though they are users of BBC iPlayer, but they only can watch the TV at restricted areas. If they want to have access to BBC abroad they would have to search through the internet for TOR or Foxyproxy to provide them with a VPN. This may cause BBC iPlayer to slow down as there are many free users who are using the website too, therefore users of BBC iPlayer may not be able to watch the TV consistently.

US credit cards outdated, less useful abroad, as 'chip and PIN' cards catch on - 1 views

  • Smart card transactions can be quicker, because the terminal and card communicate with each other -- the terminal verifying that the card is authentic and vice versa -- instead of the terminal having to communicate via Internet or wireless with the card issuer to verify that the card is real and hasn't been reported lost or stolen, says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a nonprofit organization that works to promote the adoption of smart card technology.
  • Also, when a card leaves the cardholder's physical presence, it can be compromised, using a hand-held information-stealing device called a skimmer,
  • in which information is encoded into a magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and the newer so-called smart cards, which contain a computer chip that holds information.

  • So-called card cloning also can be easier with magnetic stripe cards. Vanderhoof says: "With chip-and-PIN, it's nearly impossible to create a fake card."

  • Minimally invasive surgery (also known as MIS, minimal access, keyhole surgery, laparoscopic, or endoscopic surgery) is intended to eliminate the most physically and emotionally traumatic elements of conventional open surgery, including pain and lengthy recovery. Advances in MIS allow surgeons access to affected tissues and organs through very small incisions.
  • Surgery performed using the assistance of robotic technologies. Existing systems like da Vinci are designed to provide surgeons with enhanced capabilities rather than designed to operate on their own.
