Slashdot Mirror
RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers
WWW/X writes "USA Today reports that clubbers in Barcelona are getting drunk and being implanted on site with RFID chips in order to pay their bills without carrying around bulky items such as credit cards. The article states that the implant can go anywhere, however it does not state whether anyone has chosen their forehead." The club's website describes the program (link in spanish).
Ok this is so yesterday. I got my waver at Baja, people, and I can't love it enough. It's phat because I can totally wave it in front of any of the bartenders and like bam I have a drink. It's even better in the summer because it's like totally hot right now (third day of this awful humidity) and so I can wear like anything hot that I want and I don't have to carry a PURSE or those lame KEYCHAIN WALLETS and stuff. So anyway at the library once this guy was all freaking out on me about how I got "implanted" and I was going to be "tracked and monitored" and said "don't you read Slashdot?". He was gross and I ran away but that's how I found out about this site.
Anyway I've read here long enough to know that no one here is going to want a waver but that's cool because I'm just guessing here that only uncool ugly people are going to get all wigged about being cool and not having to carry a wallet. Which just means more hot guys at Baja for me.
Smack that ass, boyfriend!
"... anyone has chosen their forehead."
Or right hand for that matter.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Get RFID tag installed.
Don your tinfoil hat.
Drink.
Trolling is a art,
"...that bump? No, no no no--you've got it all wrong! I'm clean--that's my RFID chip! Really! Wait! Come back!"

It is also rumored that many Barcelona escort services are looking into this method of payment for services.
all news today is "smart this.. implant that..."
you can take your RFID and shove it up your ass! literally!
I look foward to participating in the next run, and logging into my specially-fitted Palm Pilot as I run down the street and check the red dots on the screen so I know where the bull horns are so I can avoid them.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
they have to get me very drunk to let them implant me a rfid thingie
Only morons moderate based on a sig.

Was there last year, and I can see it now... The british kids selling Ectasy at Space, Pacha, El Divino and cafe Del Mar, can just bill you electronically.
Shows up on credit card as "adult entertainment". I see the potential for abuse.
Alright! Now I can get drunk, pay my tab, and be tracked where ever I go. I'll never be lost again! In fact now the bartender will know exactly what I like so when I'm too trashed to order he will still know what I'm looking for.
In Addition, I'm sure other merchants will catch on to the fact that I have an RFID tag and they will make wonderful use of it as well! This is a marvelous idea! Maybe now someone will remember my name.

does your body slowly reject it and shoot it across the room?
Yeah, you get it implanted in your wrist and at the right moment you impress the girls with your "Look at me, I'm Spiderman!" move as it flies from your wrist.
D'oh! If Sauron had remembered to embed an RFID chip in that damn ring when he first had it made, it would have saved him and many others thousands of years of "looking for lost jewelry" trouble.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Wave a body part and get a drink? So what! Girls have had this power since forever. And for them the drink is free.
Great, now my arm can look like my keychain with a half-dozen different "rewards" RFID chips... The added side benefit with all that junk in your arm will be when you light up the metal detector at the airport like a Christmas tree... and then the friendly TSA agent dons the rubber gloves...
Metal implants in the tongue? Ears? Nose? Nipples? Lips? It starts with RFID and ends with the Borg.
This could be a hit with nudiest colonies or naked people that like to go shopping with their credit card. Go figure.
I'll start.
1:1 "And the Anonymous Coward, whose attempts to inspire many trolls had failed, ventured to the dark land of the savages. 'Why,' the dark savages questioned, 'has the nerd ventured so far from his Homeland?'"
1:2 "'Perhaps he is feeling adventurous.'"
1:3 "After the savages' intrusive physical examinations, the Anonymous Coward could only drink. And for seven days, he did."
1:4 "On the seventh day, he awoke to the unpleasant sensation of an RFID. To his dismay, the object had been installed in the forbidden cavity."

Nobody expects the Spanish Implantation.....

I'm getting mine implned in my pee-pee.
That way, I can pay for my hookers at the same time I'm fucking them.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
if society has decayed to the point where alcohol and absynthe-soaked sluts in Barcelona can wave their hand at a computer for more drinks, we deserve what we get.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Thank god, finally someone has come up with a way to save me from the unbearable burden of hauling my friggin credit card from place to place.[/Sarcasm]
Now, if a credit card is too bulky for your outfit then you should have some of my sex... with me.
-- I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. It's not my fault that life sucks so much. --
It's not real? Are you sure? I have already paid $2,500 to go participate in an archaelogical dig on the Italian shores of the Adriatic in August to help uncover the foundations of Barad-dur. Hope this isn't some sort of scam, but I'd better check into this just in case.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
And of course: It's everywhere you want to be. :)
In a string bikini, ya, a credit card is a bulky item. You just haven't been to the right clubs...
If I was able to just wave my hand and get a drink I'd be bankrupt in no time.
;)
You see a design flaw, they see a feature.

In both cases, implants make this easier.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Think about it:
If I get this implanted in my head, I want the dancers get the scanners implanted in their crotches...
It would make paying my bill pleasurable!
to word everything as, like, a question? You know? "Like, I was like, down at the pool hall? And this totally cute guy came over? And I was like, Oh my God! I totally didn't know what to say? And he was like, 'whatever!'"
