Software engineering is hard. Very hard. Did you know software people are considered to be #2 on the 'Smartest People' IQ list? (doctors being #1). The average software engineer IQ is 130 (source: www.mensa.com), which is well above average (108).
Anyone can write a program, big deal. The vast ocean of Visual BASIC Programmers proves that (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code).
But only a few can write software. Too bad none of them work at Microsoft.

Actually guys, I was the author of the software development system for the radio tags at RF Code (formally ECode), www.rfcode.com. They are the only manufactorers of these tags as the patent is held by coowner, Jim Rodgers [btw, inventor of graphics tablet, among 50 billion other things, the guy is a modern day Tesla and I shit you not about that]. Here are the facts: 1. The tags are at 50 cents. Too expensive to buy billions, we used a Microchip PIC (www.microchip.com) 2. They are 32 bits, not 96, 1 bit is reserved for other uses. 3. Range of frequency is up to 8 feet, not hundreds or millions. I'm sure this will get better, but because they are battery free, you have to broadcast energy in the air to read them, and their return signal is VERY weak. Too much energy broadcasted would blow out your pacemaker. 4. They are used to ID or for inventory ONLY, unusable in detecting them in your home from the street. They are no different than a serial number, if yer going to bitch about ID'ing things, how come you haven't bitched about serial numbers!??!!?!? 5. They can be 'bin-ed' together, that is, hundreds can be piled ontop of one another and read independently [the only system in the world that can do that]. 6. If yer going to steal something from Walmart with their white tags, steal more than 1 item because those tags cancel each other out:-) (not that I know this by doing it, but in theory it should work). 7. You should all fear my code:-) hahaha Aloha from Hawaii, Bwilcutt

Slash bug. I replied about the Motorola tag story, told me to enter my name/password, did that then suddenly, it ended up here. Bw
