  1. Import export controls on Europe Adding RFID Tags to Euro Currency · · Score: 1

    Since some countries already have limits on what amounts can be imported and exported. This will finally make that unavoidable.

    Those working abroad will now have to make decisions on where to work based on these restrictions.

    Can they afford being liable if some of the content affects the competitors?

  9. Patching on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 1

    I hear all this talk of MS being the problem, but they release patches.

    A patch not applied is as good as no patch at all.

  16. Availability on 20 Factors That Will Change PCs In 2002 · · Score: 1

    We will still have the concept of have's and have not's. What we need is cheap affordable roll outs of the basic infrastructure for all this wonderful technology.

    Not everybody will be able to afford the prices, and not everybody will be able to get access to technologies (broadband for example in some locations whether wireless or wired).
