  2. Why is this relevent to the linux community? by peterprior · · Score: 4, Funny · on RFID Tags on Mach3 Razorblades Snap Your Photo

    Everyone knows linux hackers and users don't shave, and the more hair the better.
    Also, simply using the Tesco Online Grocery Shopping system would get round the problem.

    :)

    Further to the posters comment about Tesco, check out the Tesco press release about how the World Sourcing Director of Tesco wrote a letter to the President of Warner Home Video saying that zoning was "against the spirit of free competition".

    It should be noted that Tesco has taken other manufacturers to court (specifically Levi Strauss) to allow Tesco to sell the manufacturers products in their stores at discounted prices.

  4. Re:Cost difference? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on DVD Zoning Challenged by UK Supermarket Chain

    I looked at DVD's the last time I was in the UK (August 99) and the prices looked to be about 12 - 16 pounds each, or roughly $19 - $25. But this is also before the VAT of about 20%, so you're really talking $23 - $30 as a comparative price to ordering them off the Web in the US.

    Here is the prices for the top-selling DVD's on Tesco's own website:
    1. Mummy, The £ 11.99
    2. X Files, The - Biogenesis £ 10.99
    3. Matrix £ 11.99
    4. Notting Hill £ 11.99
    5. You've Got Mail £ 11.99
    6. Gormenghast £ 17.99
    7. Saving Private Ryan £ 9.99
    8. Star Trek :Insurrection (Wide Screen) £ 16.99
    9. Lethal Weapon 4 £ 11.99
    10. Armageddon £ 12.99

  5. Similar To DeCSS by waldoj · · Score: 2 · on DVD Zoning Challenged by UK Supermarket Chain

    This seems, in some respects, similar to the DeCSS challenge on the MPAA / DVD-CCA's methods. 'Cept this approach has some $$ (if I could make a pound sign, I'd use that :) behind it.

    The funny thing is, I'd bet dollars to DRAM that we won't see a suit over this, nor will anybody be dragged out of their house and questioned all day.

    Way to go, Tesco!

  6. Sounds like Tesco by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The First E-Commerce Delivery Service?

    Tesco already do something similar in the UK. Fairly broad coverage if you live in a large city.

    Can't be too long before they deliver more than groceries...
