French Town Tests Cashless Society
SamiousHaze writes to mention a Silicon.com article about an attempt in a French tourist town, Caen, to do away with cash in some locales. From the article: "Among [the locations in the trial] is an underground car park; the town hall; a bus stop which can transmit timetable information; a cinema poster which downloads video trailers to users' mobiles; a local supermarket, where people can pay for their groceries with a mobile phone, and a tourist information sign outside the historic Abbaye des Hommes. By touching the mobile against the 'Flytag' logo at each of these locations, users can pay for services or receive information straight to their phone."
what a shock. this time to plastic.
yes we fucking know already you nonce, everybody knows this. This is what happens, oh boo hoo hoo, you're not fucking helping the situation, you're just stating it for other geeks like yourself to come jackoff of the worries in some sick manner. If you're worried, then DO something about it, i don't fucking care if you're worried. I have my own worries, but what the fuck are you doing to improve the situation?.. you're basically shitting your pants and going online 24/7 to say a load of shit words to scare other people. Well i don't know about you, but i'm most productive when i fear nothing, therefore your words are of no use to anyone who want to improve the fucking situation. Just get real, don't post shit like this in every bit of news, because you sound like a pathetic twat. How about you go visit iraq, the american troops just love shooting random innocent people in the streets for fun, you think it is worrying now or will be?.. go fucking live there for a day and you tell me if this place is worrying or whats to come.
I bet a lot more french soldiers died in france then US ones. Just a guess though.
The days of the digital watch are numbered.
What have YOU done to imrpove meaningful public discourse? When was the last time YOU organized a discussion group, scheduled a protest, created a PAC, or did ANYTHING other than whine about it?
You're the worst kind of politico. You've got the spiel down, and in dishing it out, you get people so riled up, they fail to notice all you've done is actually bitch and moan while accomplishing exactly ZERO.
I'll never understand why all you slashtards fall for this shit. For a group of people who are constantly suspicious of everything, guys like the parent manipulate you very easily.
Mod me down, I deserve it. but that's just because I'm tired of the same chicken little sky is falling garbage getting modded straight up, with no regard to the fact that's it's been said a THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE.
THERE'S NOTHING INSIGHTFUL OR INTERESTING ABOUT REPEATING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER.

Aw there it is! First mention of 1984 for this topic. Yay paranoia!
There is no Cabal
Maybe I'll create Braino's Law: As a Slashdot discussion grows longer, the probability of the mention of 1984 approaches one.
Do everyone a favor and: SHUT THE FUCK UP
They call me the wookie man, I guess that's what I am
