dubai_phil Posted 11 October, 2010 Share Posted 11 October, 2010 If only we could find the old S4E forum and some of the old TSW threads... Many will recall that during the takeover saga (s), the forum (s) devised an innovative methodolgy of identifying potential investors, players etc by the size and shape of their Earlobes. According to the Telegraph today, it appears that this innovative, nay imaginary conceptual break-through has been stolen and turned into a new product that may well come to change our lives and security as we know it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8052887/Ears-provide-new-way-of-identifying-people-in-airports.html If only we could prove that we came up with the idea first, we could use our legally minded members to initiate legal action to earn us zillions in royalties What other innovative ideas have we had that have been stolen, and should we now start to copyright our ideas and posts? The Torygraph Article Forget fingerprints or the colour of your eyes, airport security could soon be looking at the shape of your ears when deciding whether to allow you into the country Researchers have discovered that each person's ears have a unique shape and have created a system that is able to scan them. The scans can then be compared with a database of ear shapes to identify whose they are. We didn't need an expensive system, we had Trousers!

dubai_phil Posted 11 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 11 October, 2010 Trousers is a Tory. He doesn't deserve a dime. Ah but in a "community" society like we are, he is not himself and he is a member so the other members can exploit his skills for the benefit of the members. I think that's what Lenin said, or was it Lennon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
