As I said elsewhere, I had forgotten about the Sony DRM mess, as it actually never really effected me or the machines I work with. All of my Sony and BMG CDs are pretty old (I haven't bought major lable music in over five years- it all sounds the same to me), so it slipped my mind.

I have vast quantities of data, and a lousy search algorythem. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (And worse spelling, but it is late.)

I was thinking more of something that had been set up specifically as a virus that covertly included itself when optical media was burned or when flash memory was mounted, and then would autorun to place itself onto host machines, and ad nausea. (The DRM, while scary, was not self spreading to media.) Sneakernet as a vector hasn't really been a concern for a while, and I'm waiting for someone to dust it off becuase who, honestly, runs an antivirus every time they put in a disk?

Keeping on the topic at hand, I think glockaroo actually hit the nail that as a geek, I really didn't want to- does this thing actually fill a void? Again, it comes down to "does the medical staff know to look for this", just like the ICE in the phone thing and the "life vial" or whatever it is that I saw advertised at my drug store a few days ago. (The later is basically a plastic tube with a big label on it that you put your meds in and put in your fridge, and a sticker you put on your front door. And it is a pretty little sticker.) Will anyone who knows what to do with the data actually see it?
