Walmart to Push RFID
bravehamster writes "According to this article over at MSNBC, Walmart is going to push its suppliers to start using RFID to track inventory by 2005. The article goes on to mention how it was Walmart who helped jumpstart widespread adoption of barcodes. The report also points out some of the barriers in the way of RFID acceptance, but never once mentions consumer privacy concerns. Guess that kind of stuff just isn't important anymore."

The perineum is the area of skin rich in nerve endings that is located below the anus (the opening for bowel movements). For men, the perineum extends to the vaginal opening; for women it extends to the base of the testicles.
Because the perineum is so rich in nerve endings it often feels pleasing to have it touched or stroked. If one is comfortable with being touched on the perineum, its stimulation can be incorporated into a couple's lovemaking to further enhance sexual arousal.
To make stimulation smoother and more comfortable, it is often helpful to lubricate your fingers before stroking the perineum during lovemaking.
As long as the stimulation remains outside the body on the perineum, any type of lubricant (petroleum-base or water-base) will do.
However, because this kind of stimulation is often associated with insertion of the finger into the vagina or anus, or both, a water-base lubricant is recommended and preferred.
The anus is rich in nerve endings & participates with your genitals in the contractions of sexual arousal & orgasm. Anal stimulation greatly enhances & intensifies masturbation, oral sex, or intercourse. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with anal play, is relax, use plenty of lube (the anus & rectum do not produce any lubrication of their own), and enjoy.

The vagina is rich in vulvatic sensor spots & cooperates with your clitoral system in the up and down movements of sexual arousal & orgasm. Vaginal stimulation greatly enhances & multiplies masturbation, perienium stimulation, and orgies. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with vaginal stimulation, is to relax, and use one quart of 10W30 (the vagina produces no lubrication of its own during normal stimulation), and enjoy.

I know most of the "editor" are white trash, but how the fuck is this news for nerds? It's saturday night. Aren't there any stories about disco balls case mods or turning your mac plus into a bong?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
An allegory to the goatse.cx phenomenon.

Hey you and the guy with the "Tinfoil House" can get together and have a popover.
Last I checked none of the employees at my local Wal-Mart appeared as if they were compelled to work their by force. I didn't see any handcuffs, shock collars, or men with cattle prods. In fact, the old guy who greeted me this morning at my local Wal-Mart looked like he was having a great time.
The fact of the matter is that Wal-Mart beats their competitors by 1) controlling costs, and 2) pricing their inventory ridiculously low and relying on volume of sales to make up the difference.
I read yesterday that they are going to start putting covers over their magazines like cosmo there. Now I don't read cosmo, but come on? Is cosmo too racy for the prudish walton family? What's next, not selling condoms in the pharmacy because it makes people think of having sex?
Don't even get me started about the layout of the stores. Did you know you can find the britta filters in the same isle as toilet seat lids (at least in the one by me)? I don't think I'm going back there - ever. The sooner we can rid our towns of the stink of the walton family, the better.
Sorry about the rant,
today is spelling optional day.
You just can't reason with those people who in the end say, "Corporations get rich, poor get poorer, less job, blah blah blah." (Nevermi nd anyone can buy shares of a corporation and enjoy the profits too).
If you're poor YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY SHARES OF A CORPORATION!
Idiot.
And why do you think gun control has worked so effectively in other countries, like Japan?
