[17:06]  * mpt tries to think of a single word that means "not started"
[17:06] <mpt> "unstarted"
[17:06] <mpt> "unbegun"
[17:14] <snwh> mpt stopped
[17:15] <mpt> "stopped" implies that it was previously started
[17:16] <mpt> The word I'm looking for is, to 0%, what "complete" is to 100% :-)
[17:17] <snwh> well that would be incomplete :)
[17:17] <mpt> "incomplete" covers 1~99%
[17:17] <mpt> or 0~99%, even
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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)
[17:21] <mpt> It's one of those "maybe someday" features
[17:21] <mpt> Maybe a published design will inspire a contributor ... it's happened before
[17:22] <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"?
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <snwh> tell that to my fingerprint software on my windows partition..
[17:24] <mpt> really?
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <snwh> AuthenTec TrueSuite
[17:26] <bwinton> Unregistered, registering %, registered?
[17:27] <snwh> its quite awful.
[17:32] <mpt> So, not this one then <http://www.jmedved.com/content/media/windows8authentecprotectorsuite.png>
[17:33] <snwh> mpt, this: http://support.authentec.com/Portals/4/Images/TrueSuite5/TS_intro.png
[17:34] <mpt> thanks snwh
[17:34] <mpt> (Are those really Twitter and Facebook icons on one of the fingers?)
[17:35] <snwh> yea.
[17:35] <mpt> "Reading 1", "Reading 2", "Reading 3" http://blogimages.builttoroam.com/nick/image_6CDD71F9.png
[17:37] <snwh> the software will let you register your social passwords with a fingerprint requires a browser plugin though
[17:52] <snwh> mpt, yea I like the multiple reading plus checkbox idea
