Pretty crafty! ;~)
Foil hat alert!
been posted and discussed....
Nothing wrong with this. It was probably implimented to combat forging currency and can be used for other things such as ransom requests and threatening letters.

Nothing 'Foil Hat' about this. It's as true as the serial number on a firearm. If you don't believe it then perhaps you need a Dunce Hat.
" Electronic Frontier Foundation"
Up in arms about an attempt to prevent counterfeiting. The same group that was silent and unresponsive when, earlier this year, it looked like the FCC was going to create regulations, in response to a Supreme Court order, to restrict political free speech on the Internet.
(By the way, I never did hear about the resolution of the FCC situation, if there was any.)
Putting on Dunce Hat..... ;D
as in many other cases,the potential problem is not with the technology,but with the motives of the user. (Big Brother?)
No worries. I have one for every day of the week, they vary in size lol
I really needed one today... there IS such a thing as asking a stupid question and boy did I find one....
Oh yeah? Then how come we haven't caught OBL? Is it because he's working for us? You give the gov't too much credit.
Well you can't have any of my Dunce Hats because I need them all for myself!
Ha Ha on you!
Anyone tried to apply this to the Rather Documents yet?
Interesting.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think the only published copies of the Rather documents are the faxed copies. Those tiny dots would never show up on a document that was faxed. Microscopic yellow dots wouldn't show up on a copied document either.
Interesting.
I've wondered if the US hasn't done the same thing with Microsoft's Windows software.
The Feds: "Bill, if you put in secret back doors in your software we'll let you off easy on our big lawsuit".
This technology is not news. It's been open source on the bell-labs.com website for about 5 years. Every color laser printer in the world has this technology, unless someone pieced one together - but you'd need a Ph.D. in applied math to figure out how to build one.
