Biometrics
Biometrics is the technology of authenticating a person’s identity by verifying a personal characteristic. Biometric devices grand users access to programs, systems, or rooms by analyzing some biometric identifier (Schmidt 54-62). A biometric identifier is a physical or behavioral characteristic. Examples include fingerprints, facial features, hand geometry, voice patterns, signatures, and eye patterns.
A biometric device translates a personal characteristic into a digital code that is compared with a digital code stored in the computer. If the digital code in the computer does not match the personal characteristic’s code, the computer denies access to the individual.
The most widely used biometric device today is a finger print scanner. A finger print scanner captures curves and identification of a finger print. With the fingerprint scanners less than $100, experts believe this technology will become the home user’s authentication device for e-commerce transactions. To conduct a credit-card transaction the Web site would require users to hold a finger on the scanner. External fingerprint scanners usually plug into a parallel or USB port. Businesses use a finger print scanners to authenticate uses before they can access a personal computer. Grade schools use fingerprint scanners as an alternative to lunch money. Students’ accounts balances adjust adjust for each lunch purchased.

According to carter and Juarez, newer keyboards and notebook computers have a fingerprint scanner built into them (42-53).

Law enforcement, surveillance systems, airports, day care centers, financial institutions, the military and other originations that deal with highly sensitive data use other types of biometrics. A face recognition system captures a live face image and compares it with a stored image. A hand geometry system measures the shape of a size of a person’s hand (Computers and Biometrics). A voice verification system recognizes the shape of a hand written the signature. Finally, an iris recognition system reads patterns in the iris of the eye.

I am continuously getting these credit card offers in the mail. I am concerned both about the security risks of these as well as the trees they waste this way. What can you do to get them to stop sending them?
so i was just reading this thing on aol about the worst types of women that men hate to date/marry. it was kind of funny. i usually dont read articles like this – only once in a blue moon. but dashboard pops up with my AIM so whatever.
i somewhat disagreed with the list…probably because a couple of them were me! X D my bf confirmed this btw but he doesnt mind me at all so thats all that matters.
here are the “types”
*Church girls – basically types that do all kinds of things but justify it with going to church. hypocrites basically.
*Constant housewife – takes on all responsibilities of the home then wants all of the guys free time in return.
*The Cheater – compulsive cheater. enough said.
*Toxic Date – apparently doesnt treat people, herself, or her bf with respect.
*Too good to be true girls – i didnt quite understand this one. this is what the guy said, “OK, so almost every guy is bad. But guys need to look out for the girls who can melt anyone with their smile. You have to prove your worth a million times over while the greaseball at the bar only has to buy her a few drinks and practice some “Pick-up Artist,” “Glamour,” “Desperate Housewives,” and “SATC” lines to guide them. ”
*The loudmouth – girl who is used to using a loud voice, yelling, and lecturing. yup. thats me : D
*The manipulator – girl who tries to change her bf sometime down the road in their relationship into the man she wants him to be.
*Attention seeker – needs constant male attention from ANY guy.
*The so-called feminist – okay i didnt get this one so ill just quote what he said, My ex-girlfriend used to refuse to pay for anything, to the point where she wouldn’t even bring her wallet along. One time we went to a place that didn’t accept credit cards, and since I didn’t have enough cash to cover both of us and she didn’t have anything on her, we couldn’t go. The one time she did treat me to a movie, it was used against me for the next month — i.e., ‘”You buy dinner since I got the tickets; you get this movie since I got the last one,” etc.
She also gave me a list of minimum things to get her for Valentine’s Day (at least a dozen roses, at least a box of chocolates), which in addition to being expensive (especially since I was just a student), took the fun out of surprising her. She didn’t get me anything in return, incidentally. ” i am kind of a feminist but im still not understanding this one…
*Talkers – girls who talk a lot and apparently guys cant talk about more than one topic at a time? idk. but i am a talker as well haha
*City girls – okay he said, “Most city women are useless Barbies. Country or small town women are less likely to be pampered lazy idiots.” um such bullshit might i add. im definitely a city girl and im not a “useless barbie”!! >:\
*Dishonest diva – lol at the name first of all. I think its a girl who isnt honest with herself and says shes one kind of person when shes the opposite. also she isnt honest about how she feels about small things and brings up later.
*Girl looking for mr. perfect – self explanatory.
*The beauty queen – okay i didnt understand this one either. apparently its better to go with “average looking no frills” (wtf??!) types because they arent “princesses” and are less likely to cheat. i dont agree with that at all.
*Super insecure girls – needs constant “verbal affirmation” and compares herself to other people all the time.
*Girl who pops pills all the time and is on an emotional roller coaster.
so do you agree with these?
AND IF YOU DIDNT HAVE THE PATIENCE TO READ ALL OF THAT …lol just tell me what types of girls you think guys hate the most.
If I take a credit card cash advance and deposit this money into a money market account, is the interest on this credit card debt deductable on federal taxes? I have an unique credit card offer that would actually yield a significant profit if the interest is tax deductable.
I’ve owed my cc company £3,000 for over 4 years, just paying minimum amount and still owing the same as all I’ve paid is interest. I gave the card back cut up 3 years ago so haven’t spent on it since. I expecting a payout soon so would my credit card accept a smaller lump sum offer smaller to what i owe to close the account? say £2,000?
Its costing me £67 a month and I’m getting nowhere.
Any advice gratefully received.

If someone uses your credit card from the other side of the world, how do you make them pay ?
If they used it on ebay, is there some way to track them down ?

How to stop receiving AAdvantage Citibank Credit Card offer? Thanks.
I have already opted out a year ago via writing to optoutprescreen.com. But this Credit Card seems I’m complaining is using info from my American Airline AAdvantage Account. So I think optoutprescreen.com is not working in this case.

This is not a special diet this base on credits: Personal
a pilot is not to be a bad thing to take over – my point was to show that you don’t have to be scare to talk over things to just give true facts
You will need a subject line in other to create story line trick question
So you will need to focus on one thing and exblorate more on the subject in detail
Once you learn how to answer questions as the above such as Spanish to English or English to Spanish for example I both languages because I learn how to read and now the computer makes it easier to help ace my test
and type out a whole essay paper. I just want to prove I am not dumb…. Game over
pre approved credit cards?
Dec 29
how come people send you pre approved credit card application and then deny you when you apply. If it’s not really pre approved then what does it mean when they say it’s pre approved??
