| * mpt tries to think of a single word that means "not started" | 17:06 | |
| mpt | "unstarted" | 17:06 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | "unbegun" | 17:06 |
| snwh | mpt stopped | 17:14 |
| mpt | "stopped" implies that it was previously started | 17:15 |
| mpt | The word I'm looking for is, to 0%, what "complete" is to 100% :-) | 17:16 |
| snwh | well that would be incomplete :) | 17:17 |
| mpt | "incomplete" covers 1~99% | 17:17 |
| mpt | or 0~99%, even | 17:17 |
| bwinton | mpt: Unstarted? Vapourware? | 17:18 |
| snwh | so you need the lower extreme | 17:18 |
| snwh | vapourware haha | 17:18 |
| bwinton | theoretical? planned? | 17:18 |
| mpt | bwinton, yes, I wondered about "unstarted" while you are offline | 17:18 |
| mpt | This is about fingerprint registration, not software development :-) | 17:19 |
| snwh | whats the context of the word? | 17:19 |
| mpt | A gauge to show how complete the registration is for a particular finger | 17:19 |
| snwh | unregistered? | 17:19 |
| mpt | "complete" at the trailing end, "______" at the leading end | 17:19 |
| mpt | Maybe I don't need a label at the leading end at all... | 17:20 |
| snwh | (does this mean fingerprint support in ubuntu? :D) | 17:20 |
| mpt | It's one of those "maybe someday" features | 17:21 |
| mpt | Maybe a published design will inspire a contributor ... it's happened before | 17:21 |
| snwh | true enough. my thinkpad has an unused reader, which im not really missing solely a bell/whistle | 17:22 |
| snwh | how about: "unregistered, ___% registered, registered"? | 17:22 |
| mpt | "registered" is a binary condition, it just happens to involve a fractional process | 17:23 |
| mpt | You can't identify yourself with a 99%-registered finger | 17:23 |
| snwh | tell that to my fingerprint software on my windows partition.. | 17:24 |
| mpt | really? | 17:24 |
| snwh | yea it does it by % when registering. I have to stroke my finger 10 times for it to register and it goes up by 10% increments in 'registration' | 17:25 |
| mpt | snwh, who develops that software? | 17:25 |
| snwh | Authentec | 17:25 |
| snwh | i think | 17:25 |
| snwh | yes | 17:25 |
| snwh | AuthenTec TrueSuite | 17:26 |
| bwinton | Unregistered, registering %, registered? | 17:26 |
| snwh | its quite awful. | 17:27 |
| mpt | So, not this one then <http://www.jmedved.com/content/media/windows8authentecprotectorsuite.png> | 17:32 |
| snwh | mpt, this: http://support.authentec.com/Portals/4/Images/TrueSuite5/TS_intro.png | 17:33 |
| mpt | thanks snwh | 17:34 |
| mpt | (Are those really Twitter and Facebook icons on one of the fingers?) | 17:34 |
| snwh | yea. | 17:35 |
| mpt | "Reading 1", "Reading 2", "Reading 3" http://blogimages.builttoroam.com/nick/image_6CDD71F9.png | 17:35 |
| snwh | the software will let you register your social passwords with a fingerprint requires a browser plugin though | 17:37 |
| snwh | mpt, yea I like the multiple reading plus checkbox idea | 17:52 |
