I've not read the entire thread on conspiracy talk, but I just got this news article from Google's What's Hot: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/18/AR2005101801663.html It's about a code embedded in Xerox color printer inks. Is it possible our digicams have codes, too? My Nikon D70 can put digital comments on pictures. It's readable in the software PictureProject. That's all I know. What if, when we send a file to an online printer service, some bits of data find their way somewhere? Perhaps, Friendster and similar websites have the hidden agenda of tracking who is friend to whom, to serve "homeland security". http://nazca.elizaga.net http://kindelen.elizaga.net __________________________________ Yahoo!
