Shadowrun fashion makes a whole lot of sense now.

Awesome find! thanks for sharing it.

Of course, the opposite effect can also become true. One person in ten thousand that doesn't scan sticks out like a sore thumb as well.

Was actually forwarded to me by someone in my gaming group, just that he doesn't have an account here and it needed to be reshared.



It's more like using a web proxy. Traffic to and from a web proxy are suspicious, but it's not possible to connect the input to the output.

If you don't always dress in such a fashion then when you do rob a place, you won't be recognized.

Reminds me of the NAN runners from 1st ed.

Pretty cool - Thanks for linking.

The irony is the more individualistic and radical one looks the more difficult it is for a machine to accurately identify the individual.

Oh its rife with irony. You are so unique you cannot be uniquely identified.

(Essentially: the computer can't even tell that you are a "face" that it needs to recognize...)

Which is why one should never turn everything over to a machine.

They can do the job they are made to do if things stay within prescribed limits.

Making that extra leap when things go astray from the given guidelines still takes a mind.

That's extremely cool. I'm totalling sharing with my gaming group.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that movie and I do not remember that scene at all.

Posted by: Umidori Mar 6 2014, 02:49 PM

The Fifth Element for those who don't click through, and it's one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

The entire movie itself is brilliant on so many levels - I wish Luc Besson still made movies like that. I also wish Mathieu Kassovitz (perhaps best known for his role in Amélie) would play more bizarre characaters like the mugger.

I'm going to add it to my watch list, because I have this vague notion that I only saw the ending.

...Damn my list is getting long.

It should be on Netflix, and various other reasonable accessibly locations. Watch it TONIGHT. You won't regret it.

Then, come back and tell us what you thought!

Maybe over the weekend sometime. I've got Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated queued up right now.
