Just ask for the 'house card' next time you are in the store. If they don't scan a house card, ask for the manager and believe me he will scan a house card. They do this because litigation has proven loyalty programs in effect charge similar customers different prices.
As a side note, I see calls for 'mod parent up' which is unfortunate. The parent post is just a leftist cry for class envy and adds nothing to the discussion. It's also inaccurate because, as I just pointed out, you can get the loyalty card discount without a loyalty card. This may explain why I haven't posted on slashdot for a year and will likely not post again for a year. This topic could have been quite a nice discussion about RFID (a technology you *will* deal with) but I would imagine when all is said and done we will just be bashing Microsoft. Amen.
Ignore the fact that C is about 5 or 6 generations old. Python, perl, C++, Delphi, Java, and C# have all innovated programming. You guys stick to your stdio.h
If you unix tards ever make it out of the dark ages you might discover modern programming languages.
Well no shit

The demographic who play games like "ths sims" are not the same people who play MMORPGs.
People who played The Sims also play "Deer Hunter" and "Solitare" and whatever else came installed on their computers. I doubt there's much crossover to the Warcraft 3 and Everquest community.
why would anyone spend the money to develop a device like this?
Remember Linux is basically a temper tantrum thrown by the Unix community after Microsoft started eating their lunch. People will spent a lot of money and time just to remain in the spotlight.
I almost can't believe our taxes are paying for this. To think that while terrorists were plotting our demise, the NSA spent it's budget on a bunch of smelly Linux programmers.
Couldn't that money be spent on finding and thwarting the terrorist attacks? It is the National Security Agency for God's sake.
What a colossal pair of nads too! 6000 people get incinerated and the NSA says "oh look what we built with your tax dollars!"
Thanks but no thanks. I'll be hanging out with the other -1's if you want to discuss this.
Convert our governmment and society to Communism or at least Socialism. This would lower the quality of life for everyone but we would have more security.
Get a job with the government. It's very hard to get fired from state or local governments. They only grow and never shrink. The drawback is of course would be low pay and boring work.
Please pick one.
I see they blew up your sense of humor too...

1. Does he think he's so smart that we wouldn't have effective encryption today if he hadn't invented PGP? Is he sure the terrorists used PGP? Arrogant to say the least.
2. Does Zimmermann really think if he had given the government a backdoor they would have been scanning all PGP packages on every computer everywhere and would have caught the terrorists.
So now he's having a teary breakdown. Pussy and idiot I think.
Sokoban is right. I'm no great chess player but I spent some time today going over these games and it is either Fischer OR a computer.
Pushing your pawns one at at time and moving your king out for a gambit is just insane. I mean it's truly mad. Had I only seen the just the game and not read the surrounding story my first guess would have been a computer (who doesn't think like a normal chess player) or someone way ahead of the field like Fischer.

You might have the right to free speech but I have the right not to listen to you, dumbass.
Go back to the bathhouse and join your ACLU buddies.
I was rather enjoying games.slashdot.org because regular slashdot.org had turned into a Micro$oft is evil and George Bush is the devil fag-dance.
Can we please move off this topic?
If that was a "5 Informative" then all hope is lost around here.

I would like to send him this three-day-old tuna melt sitting here on my desk.... as a sympathy card of course.

Let's have a looksee at the two big holdouts:
California -- Constituents include Sun and Oracle
New York -- Constituents include America Online
You people who code in C don't realize that reading your code is almost like reading tape from a tape reader.

Irony indeed!
Only Slashdot would interview a communist bitch like this and take it seriously. Barbara Lee? Traitorous.
Certainly doesn't follow slashthink!

And it's not Linux. It's GNU Operating System or something like that.
Microsoft matches its donations and there are a number of grassroots donations being put together. Wont hit $500M but it will be significant.

Software should be free and hardware should be $250,000, right? Does that mean I should be a hardware engineer not a software engineer?
