"DNA fingerprinting" or DNA typing (profiling) as it is now known,was first described in 1985 by an English geneticist named Alec Jeffreys.Dr, Jeffreys found that certain regions of DNA contained DNA sequences that were repeated over and over again next to each other.He also discovered that the number of repeated sections present in a sample could differ from individual to individual.By developing a technique to examine the lenght variation of these DNA repeat sequences,Dr. Jeffreys created the ability to perform human identitiy tests.\nThese DNA repeat regions became known as VNTRs,which stands for variable number of tandem repeats.The technique used by Dr.Jeffreys to examine the VNTRs was called restriction fragment lenght polymorphism (RFLP)because it involved the use of a restriction enzyme to cut the regions of DNA surrounding the VNTRs.This RFLP method was first used to help in an English immigration case and shortly thereafter to solve a double homicide case.Since that time, human identity testing using DNA typing methods has been wide spread.\nIn general, our knowledge of the origin and biological function of tandem repeats is still rudimentary. Attempts have been made to collect and systematically store in databases various information on tandem repeats. The mini-satellite database (http://minisatellites.u-psud.fr/) collects and stores short tandem repeats of a certain number of species, computed with the Tandem Repeats Finder tool. A more specialized STDR database Short Tandem Repeat DNA Internet Database (http://www.cstl.nist.gov/biotech/strbase/) focuses on short tandem repeats involved in genetic mapping and identity testing. The Tandem Repeat Data Base (http://tandem.biomath.mssm.edu/cgi-bin/trdb/trdb.exe)(TRDB) is an integrated web-based environment that allows to compute, store and manipulate tandem repeats (comparison, forming clusters, displaying statistics), as well as some other types of repeats.

China and Japan do this on a regular basis.  Sadly there isn't any software that I know of that can get around this!  It's blocked at a local level, most often by those in power.

funny you are mentioning this, I have seen one at Office Depot. They have fingerprint recognition pads there. Now, I dont think you can disconnect it from a computer and make it work, I think you will need #1 a laptop or #2 a cell phone with windows built in. I think this will work.

The answer is at the link. My first thought was Ripken and that is correct. It was in 1987.

well stictly speaking there si no answer to your question as East Asia is not a country, therefore your question should be more specific...however you can get heaps of country info at bbc.com

I don't know of anything commercially available, but I would be willing to bet that the military has something akin to this, perhaps for aircraft silhouette recognition by visual radar, as an I-F-F device.

Asian gangs are a relatively new phenomenon. They began to emerge in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many Asian gangs, usually nameless, are formed by the youths who once worked for well-established Asian gangs. In other cases, they are formed by local Asian delinquent youths, who often claim to be a part of the better- known Asian gangs. In reality, they just use this claim to intimidate their victims and enhance their prestige. Asian gangs also recognize that they are not likely to get prosecuted for their crimes against other Asians because most Asians are unlikely to call or report the crimes to the police. It is unfortunate but true that many Asians resist or avoid dealing with law enforcement officials or agencies for as long as possible. This problem is not the result of police actions or practices, but rather an ill-conceived notion about the role of law enforcement officials in the community. To many Asians, law enforcement officials represent a source of extreme terror rather than a source of help or service. This misconception was deeply cultivated by the social and political conditions in the places from which they came. For years, many Asian governments (e.g.,China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, North and South Korea, Indonesia and Burma) have used the police as a political weapon to suppress political discontents and to protect their powers rather than as an instrument to enforce justice. Moreover, unlike the U.S. legal system, in which an individual cannot be arrested without a warrant or imprisoned without receiving a fair trial, many of the legal systems in Asia seldom provide these protections even if they're written into law. In fact, the police in many of the underdeveloped Asian countries can arrest people without a probable cause or a warrant and can put people in jail for years without a trial. The police, especially those in countries under communist and authoritarian regimes (China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Burma and North Korea), have also used uncivil and barbaric interrogation techniques (which have been widely documented by the mass media and international human rights organizations) to exact information from suspected civil and political criminals. Many Asians in the United States are political refugees who spent many years in prisonor reeducation camps and suffered through various forms of maltreatment, including severe physical and mental tortures. Finally, the police in underdeveloped Asian countries are often associated with or involved in many criminal activities. These unfortunate experiences have helped Asian immigrants form a very negative image of the role of the police in society.

im not sure but have some information that might be helpful for u\n China , as everyone knows Chines r too fast in technolgy,so they must b using computers and thier populations is up to 1.1 billion\nand than INDIA,, indian r too fast in software,and whole the world knows about it.and they cant b doing software well without a computer, right,a nd Indian`s populations was very near to 1 billion in 1997,maybe now its 1 billion\nand the 3rd u can consider USA,,the whole states of america..:-? right

The "Eureka" legend of Archimedes (287-212 BC) can be considered an early account of the use of forensic science. In this case, by examining the principles of water displacement, Archimedes was able to prove that a crown was not made of gold (as it was fraudulently claimed) by its density and buoyancy.\n\nThe earliest account of fingerprint use to establish identity was during the 7th century. According to Soleiman, an Arabic merchant, a debtor's fingerprints were affixed to a bill, which would then be given to the lender. This bill was legally recognized as proof of the validity of the debt.\n\nThe first written account of using medicine and entomology to solve (separate) criminal cases is attributed to the book Xi Yuan Ji Lu (洗冤集錄, translated as "Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified"), written in 1248 China by Song Ci (宋慈, 1186-1249). In one of the accounts, the case of a person murdered with a sickle was solved by a death investigator who instructed everyone to bring their sickles to one location. Flies, attracted by the smell of blood, eventually gathered on a single sickle. In light of this, the murderer confessed. The book also offered advice on how to distinguish between a drowning (water in the lungs) and strangulation (broken neck cartilage).\n\nIn sixteenth century Europe, medical practitioners in army and university settings began to gather information on cause and manner of death. Ambroise Paré, a French army surgeon, systematically studied the effects of violent death on internal organs. Two Italian surgeons, Fortunato Fidelis and Paolo Zacchia, laid the foundation of modern pathology by studying changes which occurred in the structure of the body as the result of disease. In the late 1700s, writings on these topics began to appear. These included: "A Treatise on Forensic Medicine and Public Health" by the French physician Fodéré, and "The Complete System of Police Medicine" by the German medical expert Johann Peter Franck.\n\nIn 1775, Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele devised a way of detecting arsenous oxide, simple arsenic, in corpses, although only in large quantities. This investigation was expanded, in 1806, by German chemist Valentin Ross, who learned to detect the poison in the walls of a victim's stomach, and by English chemist James Marsh, who used chemical processes to confirm arsenic as the cause of death in an 1836 murder trial.\n\nTwo early examples of English forensic science in individual legal proceedings demonstrate the increasing use of logic and procedure in criminal investigations. In 1784, in Lancaster, England, John Toms was tried and convicted for murdering Edward Culshaw with a pistol. When the dead body of Culshaw was examined, a pistol wad (crushed paper used to secure powder and balls in the muzzle) found in his head wound matched perfectly with a torn newspaper found in Toms' pocket. In Warwick, England, in 1816, a farm laborer was tried and convicted of the murder of a young maidservant. She had been drowned in a shallow pool and bore the marks of violent assault. The police found footprints and an impression from corduroy cloth with a sewn patch in the damp earth near the pool. There were also scattered grains of wheat and chaff. The breeches of a farm laborer who had been threshing wheat nearby were examined and corresponded exactly to the impression in the earth near the pool.

The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution. Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching (as opposed to Circuit switching) to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, the "eve" network of today's Internet.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by 1 January 1983 , when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. (This date is held by some to be technically that of the birth of the Internet.) It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the NSFNet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 Compuserve and JANET. Telenet (later called Sprintnet), was a large privately-funded national computer network with free dialup access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation since the 1970s. This network eventually merged with the others in the 1990s as the TCP/IP protocol became increasingly popular. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nThe network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN. In 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign released the Mosaic web browser version 1.0, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.\n\nMeanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.

In the 1940's with ENIAC.  It was one of the first "high-speed" computational devices and is considered the first major milestone in the development of digital computers.  It was used mainly by the U.S. military during WWII for artillery trajectory calculations.\n\nHowever things really took off after the development of the silicon transistor (1954), which are still in use today.
