Oh oh, sounds like this biometric deadbolt isn't as good as it sounds?

"The Mythbusters were able to trick a biometric fingerprint lock by fabricating latex and ballistic gel appliqués of an authorized (viz. enrolled) thumbprint worn over a live thumb. Supposedly, the lock not only read thumbprints, but also measured body temperature, galvanic skin response and a pulse. "

I don't think the local crooks are that sophisticated, and those that are definitely would not go to that much trouble to get into my house

something like this is failsafe. it is the ferrari of biometrics, but you'd look like an a$$ with that next to your door outside.

yeah, I never saw that episode and believe them, but it probably depends on the build quality too. I'm sure there are ford fiesta models of the deadbolts and the ferrai models too

Oh. The only 1911 tin I know of is a gun.

Very nice. Can't beat a good pen. I love roller ball technology in pens.

Me too, I started using blue ink cause the courts around here wanted it, copies were getting too good I found I liked the blue all the time, not just for signatures, because it stood out when I made notes on handouts at meetings, etc. Now it's blue rollerball FTW

Same here. I got too tired of getting back copies of scans of faxes, so I started using blue so I can always spot the original.
