RFID Tags For The Rich
Greedo writes "While reading this piece about designing 'experiences' in the Globe and Mail, I came across this interesting tidbit: If you're a frequent Prada shopper (and who on /. isn't?), the loyalty card in your wallet or purse contains a RFID tag that announces your arrival in the store. When you encounter a saleswoman, her handheld computer brings up your tastes, buying history, vital statistics and personalized suggestions from in-stock and coming inventory; the handhelds also place orders and book change rooms. Every item for sale bears an RFID tag. The RFID tags are courtesy of IDEO, and their website has a nice write-up of all the RFID-powered stuff at Prada, including the changeroom! I'm guessing this isn't coming to Wal*Mart's changerooms when they implement RFID. (Another write-up can be found here.)"
Squeaky puppy!
Let's rock and roll
Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
And poking your hay
Scratching in your henhouse
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
I'm leaving my spray
Sex farm woman
I'm gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman
I'll rake and mow you down
Sex farm woman
Don't you see my silo risin' high
Working on a sex farm
Hosing down your barn door
Bothering you livestock
They know what I need
Working up a hot sweat
I'm scretching in your pea patch
Plowing through your beanfield
Planting my seed
Sex farm woman
I'll be your hired hand
Sex farm woman
I'll let my offer stand
Sex farm woman
Don't you feel my tractor rumbling by
by-by-byyyy
Working on a sex farm
Wolfing down some cornbread
I'm turning on the tv
Joining the grange.
There are 5 supposed reasons... but only 4 interested parties in the publicity photo for UNIX? I guess I are smerter den dey are! Now that they've managed to have the entire UNIX fanclub in one room... did they get cookies? What about milk? Was the milk available for the low, low price of $100,000/L to help pay SCO's legal bills? Or are they "automatically-added legal buffer funds" in the UNIX licensing? :D
One of the 187.
It's called a recession. And it's led to a loss of 2.6 million jobs (which makes W the first Pres since Herbert Hoover to have a net loss of jobs during his term). And despite the uncertain signs of economic upturn and the ridiculous projections of job growth from the White House, jobs continue to be lost.
And the W solution: permanent tax cuts for those making more than $200,000. And since the Congressional Budget Office says that 36% of the record deficit comes from the Bush tax cuts, 31% from spending on defense and security and the rest from economic slowdown, there are reasons why people might be ...irked, shall we say.
The bulls are already out there
Pink: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!
This roman meal bakery thought you'd like to know.
I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
All you need to do is follow the worms.
The evidence before the court is incontravertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before,
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to deficate! -- no, judge, the jury!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!
And let me get this straight: 4 years of being in charge and you're still trying to blame it on Clinton? Seems W isn't the only delusional one.
