  1. For fun on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 1

    When reading this article and the comments below, the whole thing reminded me of knurd and Orakh.

    When one reaches both sides, strange things happen and the results are strange.

    Luggage survived the experience...

    Hi
    You sir are an evil person. I salute you on the way you handle things. : )
    I have been on both sides of support and other. I can not play the executive card but have others I can play : )
    I agree empathy is the best thing. Most people seem to not know this.
    The one that I would like to add to this list is the process/policy reporter. They will quote a process/policy that they heard and does not apply once they get to the next level of support.
    Thank you
    Jack

  3. Just a comment on Ten Best, Worst, and Craziest Uses of RFID · · Score: 1

    Just some comments on RFID technology. I am trying to be sarcastic and funny but not sure if it will come across. Mostly this is a commentary on how many entities want to RFID the general populace.

    Well I did not see a mention to the chipping of 007 in the latest Bond movie...
    Not sure if that was a good or bad thing to suggest.
    Now it had me thinking. Why not chip all elected officials? Would make it nice to see what they are doing...
    Go to a web site, see your elected official is currently in the Bahamas on a "political retreat". See their credit report, see their history with the law, and etc.

    Next to do is the CEO and other executive staff. As a stock holder, it should be known if they are working for the company. Just for fun example. A CEO makes 2 million a year (okay small to several of these companies). That amounts to 976.56 an hour (assuming a 40 hour week, roughly 2048 hours). So a restroom break of fifteen minutes amounts to $244 for it. Consider a small fart of say 2 seconds is now worth 32 dollars.

    Why RFID your workers making $8 dollars an hour when an executive management person is more important to the company for making its success according to current theory? A stockholder (or board member) wants to make sure his/her "prime" investment in the executive management is doing its job with managing the company, dealing with issues and not spending to much time on rest room breaks...

    Yes just a general commentary. I know the subject is on good, bad and crazy RFID tech but this is for general thought.

    All spelling mistakes are my own.
    Thanks

    Remember there are a few symbols all together and all studies of science are using them.
    This is a compliant I used when studying but is learning experience in it self.
    Try some complex equations trying to write them out as you suggest on paper.
    Physicists do not use it for job security. They use mathmatics to prove their results. Symbols are part of mathmatics.
    All spelling and grmmer mistakes are my own.

    Hi
    Interesting group. I would join but they have no agreement on what email addresses are used for. They also want so much private information with no agreement on what they want to do with it. I really do not want to provide my home address, telephone numbers, date of birth and etc to someone that is not using a secure layer and the docs only indicates that students are really allowed to use it.
    Looking at the legal docs, they can not decide if they want adobe or word ones. Even they state they will provide adobe only.
    Please correct me if I am mistaken.
    Thank you

    Hi
    I was curious about what was a Beaumark missile and did some searches on it. Very interesting that the hits Google had where references to it but no details. Is there another name it might be known as? Or any details to search on?
    Just curious because the Google hits indicate it was recorded in one document in 1999 but there seem to be no other information.
