They were used heavily for door access in many places. they work great. I still have a few ibuttons and the dev kit around. And I have the good ones that run java and have a RTC inside them, so you never send the keys in the clear but you instead do a challenge response incredibly high security in those, but very few places used them. Most of the ibutton door locks simply used the serial number if the ibutton as the key.
The US postal service used them for a while as identifiers on tubs until optical recognition tech surpassed it.
Wireless and optical recognition has really shot past all this.
"Well, as anyone who's ever unlocked car door just by reaching for its handle with a key in their pocket knows, the answer may be the embeddable devices themselves."
BMW cars without this are secure and not easily stolen. BMW cars with "comfort access" are easily stolen. Same with GM, Toyota, etc...
There is a crapload of AS400's out there still running the accounting for very large companies and medium sized companies.
There is a crapton of 25+ year old environments that still have software being developed for them and or need it.
Hell I was looking for an AS400 with a full software loadout on it after I learned what my wife's work pays for their expert per hour. I'll take $225 an hour any day.
he is not being silly. In CS the requirements from HR are RETARDED. I have seen the " 10 years experience in Java" when Java was less than 5 years old.
"Yes years of experience is what counts yada yada, but how do you get them?"
Apprenticeship and trades. Stop trying to take a short cut. your lazy 16 year old ass should have been in an apprenticeship program and you would have came out at age 21 with 5 years of experience as an electrician and making a LOT more than the dolts with a BA just graduating with $80K of debt.
Except no Wifi.... but that's normal for the surface 3 on Windows 8.1 Last update borked wifi hard and I had to wipe my surface to defaults to get it back.

Still trivial even for computer n00bs.
Download and install Trim Enabler from the app store.
Been rolling those dice for 3 years with zero problems. Buy a quality SSD and not the cheap crap.

Nope, I am not trading security for convenience.
You are wrong. the UK became the USA's bitch when they signed the WIPO treaty.
You guys are now our property because of your leaders signing whatever our leaders put in front of them.
Nothing really. It's not worth it upgrading unless you are building a new box.
And all of that is good for you. Although the 40's of american piss water beer is a waste of time. Drink some real beer that you cant see through.
And it's trivial to get around.
Honestly being blunt and aggressive is how you don't end up with a steaming pile of crap.
Being all wishy washy and nice is not how you get things done, you crush egos mercilessly when you have facts in hand.
I refuse to pay for any service that rewards the scum that is the record industry. Free services only for me or my own music ripped off of used CD's.
I am the record industry's worst nightmare, someone that buys CD's but only second hand. It's the best way to steal from them.
It's actually really easy to identify a skimmer, just grab and tug on the card slot. if it comes off, it's a skimmer.
Honestly 90% of what we consumer is not food but just piles of sugar coated shit.
Stop eating at any restaurants, Stop eating anything that comes in a box or Bag. Hell even our bread is so sweet that most europeans call it cake.
Yes, they should be sued for $22 million or more. That is the stance of ASCAP/BMI and the record labels.

Reasonable.. you are hilarious.
Overselling 1000 to 1 IS NOT REASONABLE to anyone but a Low IQ MBA.
"Assume you have more demand for bandwidth than you have bandwidth."
Translation; Company horribly oversold the bandwidth and is too cheap to buy a bigger pipe.

Good thing well educated doesn't mean they are very smart.
So the corporate mess that is caused by Business Administration Masters degree holding morons still fits perfectly into american corporate culture.

surface pro 3 is not a tablet. it's a pc. And it's worthless without it's keyboard, everyone that owns one knows this.
Disclaimer, I own one.
No, no I dont. I want it to have the fullscreen capability, but not full screen forced on me.
The worst apps on my Surface Pro are the stupid as hell metro apps.
I already do adblocking on all my android devices. Until they start paying for my cellphone bandwidth, ad's dont appear on my devices.
Well there's your problem.... Someone Switched this doll to Evil.
