Those scanning squares are called "2d bar codes". I think one of the advantages of RFID (at least for financial transactions) is supposed to be ease of use. But as you stated, the bar code is just as easy and far more secure.
The highway is a place for cars, not people. When I'm traveling down I-94 at 80mph, I'm watching the other traffic; tractor-trailers, taxi's, cell-phone talkers, and all that noise. This is not a place a pedestrian should be, so I will not really be looking for one. In fact, there are generally signs posted at the ramps that explicitly forbid pedestrian traffic. And while, yes I will do my best to avoid hitting a pedestrian on the interstate, if I do hit him, chances are pretty good that no charges will be brought against me because the pedestrian in question was in a place he didn't belong. Being on foot does not guarantee the right of way in every situation.
Actually, if somebody is walking down the highway and I hit them, it probably is their fault, whether I'm going 60 or 160. WTF would a pedestrian be doing on the highway? If I nail a construction worker, that's different as there would be warnings and whatnot. A pedestrian has no business being on a highway (I'm talking about interstate highways and whatnot, not heavy traffic surface streets, FYI). I agree, speeding in a residential area isn't cool, or for that matter speeding anywhere that you may be putting somebody else in danger. In conclusion, a pedestrian on the highway is a really bad way to argue against speeding.
You're comparing an involuntary bodily function to downloading content of a questionable legal status. That hardly seems like a fair comparison. Not that I think downloading an episode of Dr. Who is a massive offense, but it is still the company's computer and internet connection and they should be allowed to enforce any policy that they want (within reason of course).
For those of us who don't have money, a 360 is rather expensive. I payed $20 for an NVIDIA GeForce 210 after the $30 rebate. That has 512 megs of DDR2 memory and some other pretty snazzy specs for the money. That opened up quite a few games for me. I've even managed to run Crysis (not at full spec, but it was smooth). An xbox is quite a bit more expensive than an upgrade.
Somebody else in this thread already explained my position pretty accurately:
A believer gets up in the morning and acknowledges the existence of God.
A radical atheist (Douglas Adam's definition) gets up in the morning and denies the existence of God.
I just get up in the morning.
I have no "fixation on a lack of Deity with religious zeal". I simply don't care all that much one way or the other. I would consider myself atheist, but only because that is the best term to describe my non-belief. It does not make me a member of a religion.
Do you work alone, or is there a whole team of you guys ready to declare sopssa a troll at the moment a new story appears? Even if he is a troll, kindly piss off.
Actually, that's happening at IBM...unless they moved their research facility to soviet russia...To stay true to the meme, you would have to say, "in soviet russia, hot water warms you". Or something....

At approximately 1 gram per bill, by my calculations it is 169,755 lbs, or 84 tons.
Right, and 5/4 people have trouble with fractions....
"rogue IT admins" - I find that phrase humorous for reasons I cannot explain.
What's this nonsense about inactivity? The most recent java update I can find is July 7, 2010. What's that? You mean there's more than one sun?
Don't give them any ideas! This time next year you might need a developers license to perform trigonometry...
...and the award for longest Slashdot post EVAR goes to you.

tl;dr
more for the stuff you will find on the sides of the video. The poop and human disfigurement stuff kind of bothers most people.
I think this is better Obviously not work friendly. I also suggest using something like No Script while visiting this place. Not for the squeamish.
dude, seriously, fuck off. you're worse than he is.
Ever hear of Montezuma's Revenge? I would hardly call that "voluntary". Go eat a football sized burrito and tell me how voluntary your shit was.

If you want to play games, buy a 360...

No, the limo driver would cost less.
Does this mean Verizon will start advertising that they are CDMA?

Are you kidding me? This baby is right off the charts, mm-hai
You send YOUR kids to a religious school that caters to YOUR atheistic beliefs. Problem solved.
Just thought I would point out that athiesm is not a religion. Its a lack of religion.

Damn your youtube link...I sat watching car wrecks and whatnot for like an hour because of that link...
That's how we deal with the taste of domestic brews (I assume OP to be an american). MGD is even "cold filtered"...
