Verisign to run National RFID Directory

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we've-seen-this-before dept.

JamesD_UK writes "Verisign has been given the contract to develop a national RFID directory by EPCGlobal. Under the directory scheme each company will maintain an Object Name Service analogous to DNS with Verisign running the root server. Verisign has already setup the infrastructure at six different global sites."

    I know that Spy Magazine once had a photoedited picture of Hillary Clinton in a leather dominatrix outfit on the cover.

    Does anyone have links to that? I've got the hots for her...

      I saw that cover and may even have the issue.

      It was a great pic but I can't find it online.

    First post ! first post ! first post... sorry (not).
    I didn't read anything (so i had time to make the first post), but I did recognize the binoculars thingy on side of the article, and then I spotted "Verisign" in the subject of the article.
    That's all I need to know ! Verisign + privacy = bad.
    So having no clue, I nonetheless boldy write :
    " Given the track record of this malevolent company - Verisign - i am sure that initiative bodes ill for the American people and our beloved and cherished constitutinal liberties "

    I am a bot ! i am a bot ! i am an abbot !

      While I believe BBC is wrong to suspend Kilroy-Silk, I can definately understand the resons behind them being so heavy-handed.

      The critism they have recieved from their involvement in the Dr.David Kelly fiasco would surely make any national organisation take Political Correctness very seriously indeed!

      Kilroy-Silk made a mistake. His original article was misleading and he has appologised for that. I am sure we will see him back in the Beeb soon enough.

  8. The sounds of Skynet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hello darkness, my old friend,
    I've come to talk with you again,
    Because a vision softly creeping,
    Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of Skynet.

    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone,
    'neath the halo of a street lamp,
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
    A neon light
    That split the night
    And touched the sound of Skynet.

    And in the naked light I saw
    Ten thousand people, maybe more.
    People talking without speaking,
    People hearing without listening,
    People writing songs that voices never share
    And no one deared
    Disturb the sound of Skynet.

    Fools said i, you do not know
    Skynet like a cancer grows.
    Hear my words that I might teach you,
    Take my arms that I might reach you.
    But my words like silent raindrops fell,
    And echoed
    In the wells of Skynet

    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the neon God they made.
    And the sign flashed out it's warning,
    In the words that it was forming.
    And the signs said, the words of the prophets
    Are written on the subway walls
    And tenement halls.
    And whisper'd in the sounds of Skynet.

    Have you read the words of Chairman Mao, leader of the revolution of China who led his people on the long march ?

    Mao Tse Tung said change must come, through the barrel of a gun.

    Not through talking or contemplating on the facts, cos we know what they are. So let Mao Tse Tung be your guiding star, pick up a gun and learn how to fight all through the day and all through the night.
