Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

Two questions:
1. Is the following experiment possible?
2. What tools & talent would you need to do it?

The challenge: Build a database with a single record for EACH SINGLE INDIVIDUAL PERSON on the planet. We want to build a profile for every human being alive that will eventually describe 650 defining characteristics for each ..... AND NOTE CAREFULLY...... this behemoth will keep NO IDENTIFIABLE DATA in the operational database (it will be kept separate to comply with privacy and data retention laws)

Register your interest in the experiment here - hope to hear from you (thanks Gadget Girl)

within a post, there is no chance at all that you will get any take up from the majority of people who regularly use this site.

If you cannot use your own common sense to use the private message facility rather than include your email address, then I, for one, would not trust you with any of my information.

Had you filled in your bio, you may have proved your legitimacy with this project, but you haven't even bothered to do that.

I'll keep my defining characteristics to myself, thanks.

No, I'm not being personal and hitting on you because I'm in a bad mood/premenstrual/stressed: I work in Information Security, and people like you make my life twice as hard. Don't take it personally.....

Hi Gadget Girl - This is my first post on this forum, and I only frequent one other where the manners are different. Are you sure there's no profile? I though I filled one in. Asa long as you're not taking the p**s your advice is welcome, and I never thought you were pm - it didn't cross my mind :-)

When you post an email address in a discussion, spiders can pick it out and you become a SPAM magnet.
