Heard this on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code this week, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would have downloaded it, but it doesn't appear to be available in the iTunes store.

I am so disappointed with our judicial system today.
It simply blows my mind how these guys can walk after something like this. It is very hard for me to believe that this type of activity should simply be forgiven. Police must be held to a higher standard, because with great authority comes great responsibility. It is very hard, maybe even impossible, to properly respect police officials when they (1) engage in these kinds of acts and (2) get away with it.
Even more disappointing than the verdict is that one of the bastard cops decided to thank God for the acquittal. I can only assume that he thinks God wanted them to shoot this innocent man 50 times and get away with it. Maybe they should ask God why they had to be the ones to shoot a man down for doing nothing. Truth is that no God that is worth a damn would let this kind of thing happen. It is certainly easier to believe that there is no such thing as "God" than buy into this kind of bullshit. Christians really piss me off sometimes.

Hmmm... Maybe fingerprints aren't the best way after all?
Check this out.
Turns out that the Chaos Computer Club managed to lift the print of Wolfgang Schäuble, the biometric anti-privacy Federal Minister of the Interior for Germany. Apparently the print can be used to validate as Schäuble himself at any biometric checkpoints.
I thought it was relatively well known that fingerprints were not reliable biometrics anymore. It's somewhere along the lines of using DES for encryption. It's a technology that has been broken by other advancements and no longer provides the security that we once thought it did.
