Would you implant a chip in your hand?

[trachy]

Since it's Friday and we're already O/T over in the McDonalds thread (http://www.adsx.com/prodservpart/verichip.html), I thought I'd throw out this poll.

Would you implant a chip in your hand for the purpose of making a financial transaction? Let's assume for the sake of argument that no other personal information would be contained on the chip. Here's some additional info (http://www.adsx.com/prodservpart/verichip.html) to help you make your decision.

you should have an option for "after the OS in the chips has made it to SP2." I know I would hate to have to push the soft-reset button on the inside of my knuckles every couple of hours :lol:

[lurch]

if, IF, I were to do it (I voted no) it'd have to be something standardized worldwide, or at least nationwide -- I wouldn't want to have 15 chips in me representing different versions, vendors, etc...

Regardless, if the option "No Way! I've been warned by Big Father!" was available, I would've chosen that!!! :D

Where's the HE11 NO option???

Sounds like Revelation in the Bible is getting closer - The Mark of the Beast? :idea:

So when a new version came out you'd have to get surgery to upgrade??

That's only one problem.

As long as I have clothing, I'll have pockets. As long as I have pockets, I have no need for something to be implanted into my body like that.

Not to mention the simple heebie-jeebie aspect of this kind of thing - I just don't want that kind of thing surgically implanted.

What about after the super-elite-secret organization finishes terraforming the planet to a balmy 73 degrees? Then we won't need clothes... I think they're using underground plants disguised as radio stations in Mexico for the terraforming..

or wait, wasn't that a charlie sheen movie?? :lol:

[Jeff Rutledge]

You mean you don't have yours yet? The nice man said everyone was getting one. 8O

And just like the implants for dogs, if you get lost they'll be able to scan you and send you back to your owner...

As long as we're implanting chips into our skin, when can I expect nano-probes in a CompactFlash form factor?

[GoldKey]

Wouldn't something like a ring be easier and probably more readily acceptable to most people?

[David Prahl]

I don't think criminals care about comfort! :mrgreen:

(Criminals are the ones who already have them)

A friend of mine who work at an oil mining facility in the middle of the sumatran rainforest mentioned that his company encourages its staffs (who worked in the middle of a jungle or on an offshore oil rig) to have a small diamond implanted underneath their skin. Hence if they are to face a condition where they are stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no money at all, they still have something valuable to be use to go back to civilization. The company provides the diamond.

Now, I wouldnt mind inserting one of those company-issued diamond into my skin, as long as it is a 1 carat, D-IF diamond. :mrgreen:

[aroma]

Wow! That diamond thing is odd... :)

[David Prahl]

I do something like that, too!

I have this thing that's always in my Pocket, never leaves my side, and it's completely painless!

Unfortunately, it needs charging every once and a while... :mrgreen:

Wow! That kind of takes the whole "sew a quarter in to your underwear" thing to a whole new level eh? :silly:

Well, the #1 risk of working in the middle of a rainforest is, of course, being ambushed and robbed by the forestfolks. When that happens (and it does happened a lot), the workers usually scramble, leave all of their belonging, and use the diamond to hitch a ride on a boat to the nearest town, buy food and clothing, etc.
