Maybe it's just me, but this seems to not address any of the important RFID issues at all.
Oh, I don't know about that. Seems this is just the thing to keep those guys wearing RayBans and black macks, lurking in an arcane sea-green Dodge Dart parked in the far corner of the drugstore parkinglot from discovering which medication you're on this week for your schizophrenia and irrational paranoia.
Have all Slashdotters run around ATMs and check for card skimmers. If found, remove card skimmer, take home, disassemble, build into $anything, add keypad and have your own PIN access system to $anything! All the while doing the rest of the world a favour by taking away card skimmers! Woot!
I'm certianly interested in finding one and disecting it. But what makes you think it'd be safe to do this? Assume the perps who put it there are nearby, do you think they're just going to let you walk away with it?
Man. I still have that issue of Weekly World News with Bat Boy fighting in Iraq. Chomping on Saddam, etc. The pentagon should be cloning that guy. There's yer doomsday weapon of mass destruction right there!
There's also that great bit about dropping five dollar bills and Victoria's Secret catalogs on the russians. I wonder how that would work with North Korea....
Whats the deal with the use of Native American Tribe names for all of our helicopters?
It's the way americans keep the native american heritage alive, by paying hommage to their culture, their rituals, the way they lived in harmony in nature and used every single bit of a buffalo, leaving nothing to waste.
We name our weapons of war after them.
They resent it, and get their names and faces and tribe names in the papers.
They are remembered.
The tradition lives on.
BTW, the 'Navajo' don't like to be called that name anymore, it translates to 'Skull splitter' or 'head smasher' and would rather be called something else, but I forget.
Don't overdo it. The software has to be compiled to take advantage of this (hence the new version of XP), so just buying a new PC with "WOW! BUFFER OVERFLOW PROTECTION" will generate negative press as people complain, "Hey! I've still got worms! er.. my computer does, not me!" Such gaffes are what competitors live for.
"Even greater longevity has been reported in a seed of the Indian or Sacred Lotus Nelumbo nucifera from an ancient lake bed in China. This seed has been germinated and subsequently radio-carbon-dated by Shen-Miller and colleagues in California in the 1990s as being 1,288 +/- 271 years old."
I recall reading something about this. The lotus seed was found in a dugout canoe in a peat bog. The estimate in the article I read, was the seed would have been ~1,200 years old.
While treating poison oak I found the compound which causes the allergic reaction has been noted to survive over 100 years in a bell jar (giving a rash to someone to handled the leaves or twigs.)
I wouldn't hastily discount the 'British House' anecdote, as plants do tend to come and go. For several years there was a thick patch of goldenrod in a field, then it ceased, perhaps due to concentration of fungi or animals/insects which fed upon the plant. Generally the plants have spread their seeds further away, hence the species continues, but simply moves around in much the same manner a herd of animals does.

Keep it simple (as it is) and limit arbitrary changes.
I'm utterly fed up with eBay with the bloodymindedness of their "enhancement" and roll-out policy. Holding a near strangle-hold on the online-auction market, they are blind to the aggrevations they inflict upon users.
Radical changes to a familiar interface shouldn't take place without dire need, unfortunately some people think it's fine to dust users. Google is all I want in a search engine and it works very well. The only reason I'd seek another search engine is if they (Google) drive me away.
BTW, did you know there's a calculator? I found it when I did a search for 'stones to pounds'
You know these things look cool in cartoons, but you'll probably have bugs in yer eyes, wind noise in your ears, sore arms and it really won't really be any fun.
Well, off to join my buddy Wile E. Coyote, walking off cliffs and holding up little signs and waving bye-bye before I fall and that sort of thing.
I am a professional HTML software developer with good working knowledge of Microsoft FrontPage 2000, Microsoft FrontPage 2002, Microsoft FrontPage 2003 and HomeSite. Extensive experience with back-end server management via Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard. I am looking roughly for $80-90K (plus sign-on bonus and relocation), but I can tell you the job field is not that great. I think I should learn PHP and wait for things to pick up. Can anyone recommend good PHP classes under-$5,000 range?

Hey! I haven't done anything wrong! Let me go! Damn, at least let me call my embassy! You've got the wrong guy! No, I won't cooperate, I'm about to miss my flight to Las Vegas, lemme go! I tell you, I got these purple pills on the internet, that's all, I'm not trying to pull a fast one!"

Profit? You can imagine how well the first person to sell the machine to organized crime will profit. Build a better mouse trap and the rats will simply bribe someone for the plans.
In the same way that Microsoft took the internet lightly. Coming to a Theatre near you: Microsoft inbeds its music service in Windows $version.
That Microsoft has to grow is a fact, that they keep missing the ball is evidence they were lucky with the OS and not terribly good business people besides that. Of course, they'll integrate a search engine with music service and eveything else into Windows is a given. That HP is playing maverick to Microsoft and Intel is fascinating.
]Hewlett-Packard] withdrew from the agreement at the last minute, its reasons for doing
so becoming clear three months later when it announced a surprise partnership
with Apple to feature the iTunes Music store on HP computers and sell
Hewlett-Packard branded iPod music players.'
Which would make Microsoft unhappy and it did and for other reasons as well.
That Microsoft took iTunes so lightly is a mystery.
Infineon should sue Infinium Labs, I was confused by the name similarity. Clearly there's precident. Maybe HardOCP should notify Infineon, and get this monkey off their back.
No, not kidding. I haven't been through Napa in about 4 years. Silverado Trail is a good way to go to avoid traffic and too many tourists. I generally go for the wines, not the side shows.
Am I the only one surprised that professional writers don't utilize voice recognition software?
You might try it sometime. I find the best way to write is to just go at it, damn the spelling errors, not having the perfect word (leave some ** or something to remind myself to come back to it later), screw punctuation, etc. Just go!
Now it may not be a bad idea to just speak it into a recorder or digitize it and then try running it through speach rec. later.
Best advice I can give, just go, don't rely on anything that can hang you up. Nothing kills momentum like having to deal with something like "no goat, not boat, goat, geeez, GOAT you daft machine!..."
Just get it out of yourself, first then worry about how to assemble it after then momentum has run its course.
If you bother to go to the wine country of northern California, I suggest going through Sonoma rather than Napa. Napa has some good wines, but it's very touristy. Sonoma has great wines and is fairly quiet, off the beaten path. One of my favorites is Rochioli, close to Hop Kiln, which is also good. Suggest taking along some food, get a bottle of Chardonnay and kick back, as most of these places have a little outdoor area you can relax at.
I have no idea if Coppola invites visitors or has a tasting room.

It was discovered most of the Soviet Weapons were a bluff and it took this long to scrap the program.
No conflict of interests here, move along...
ob: In Soviet Russia, weapons scrap YOU!
The Pentagon probably determined a catastrophic weather change and these wouldn't work under the new climate...

I think Gin and Tonic is a different genre, but you can try out if you think you're a regular Monty Python. Auditions Mar 20. in La La Land.
