    Your trolling, but i'll bite. Speed is not an issue. I just want something reasonable where i can do what i want. If im paying for the connection i should be able to do what i want with it. I am willing to pay considerably more then $60 a month if the service is right. My main point of this question was finding out what other nerds are doing.

    With each isp i have been making sure about what i can and cant do, asking for copies of the TOS as well as asking if i can speak to someone more familiar with the technical side of the service, definatly not the lacky who wants to just make some quick comission.

    You arnt familiar with passive rfid's. You cant feasible track location with passive rfid's or an exact time spent at x location. Passive rfid's need to be extremely close to a reader to get a response from the antenna. Time cant be accuratly measured due to the time it takes to read the card, and the pause inbetween while it handles the current card. Anyone who has used passive rfid's knows what im talking about. Try it.

    It's an opt in item. Put your kid in a school that uses it, and you opt in. It has no privacy concers at all. They arnt doing anything they werent doing before except perhaps the bus part of it. They are now doing it quicker and more error proof.

    This move is exactly for what it says in the article. To make the teaching staff's job easier. They're not timing how long your kid take's a pee for. Relax.

    So can it, tell your kid's how much you love them no matter who they are, and teach them to learn both sides of story before they make decisions like they're parent did.

    I agree with the other poster. Rfid's are allready used in large workplaces for building and door access. I cant think of a better way to do it. If your not doing anything wrong you dont have anything to worry about.

    What's wrong with a reader in the bus?


    (parent)--->(police) I just came home i cant my daughter i dont know if she is ok

    (police)--->(school) Is 'blah' still at school?
    (school)--->(police) She got off the bus at 'location' at 'time'


    How would that be a bad thing?


    Worried about outside tracking? shield the antenna with metal when your not in school.

    You mean a plastic card that contains an antenna teaches the kid they have no privacy? or is it the tree hugging, pot smoking, government hating parents with poar parenting skills teaching it?


    when i was in school i thought it was cool when i got an id card, now its no big deal. The bottom line is kids are smart, they know better. No matter how much you try to teach your kid that the government is bad they will (hopefully) decide for themselves.


    assuming they havent had too much second hand pot smoke.

    Read the artcile. They have tuned their readers to require the antenna to be closer then 20".


    How is it going to detect movement? Do you honestly think they need a card reader to unfairly classify kids? dont you think it's more of an issue that teacher's play favorites on kids then how the school choose to keep track of kids?

    Explain to me what happens when you have 15 print servers come back from the field, lets say removed because in this case they upgraded to intermec's with built in print servers. You have 15 print servers all sent back to your config center with no documentation on them. How would you propose getting them ready to re-deploy without factory re-setting them?

    Fiery is extremely slow, i dont care what type and or size file you spool. Hp new comes with a hefty price tag. Axis is flakey out of the box or rock solid. thus the reason for three. Not to mention if he runs any decent sized company before he puts the Axis into use it would need to be approved by an analyst. Yet another reason for three, 1 for the analyst, 1 to be put into a test lab, and the last one to serve as a backup.


    I have never had an issue with an Axis box that couldnt be fixed without factory resetting it. I am guessing you didnt spend any real amount of time with the Axis box.

    ACTIVE rfid tags can be read well over 200 feet away. However these devices are larger and more expensive then PASSIVE rfids. an ACTIVE rfid contains its own power source. a PASSIVE rfid gets its power for the reader itself. While you dont much have to worry about ACTIVE rfids because there cost and benefits verse PASSIVE make the PASSIVE tag more beneficial. You will find that states in the US that have automated toll booths use ACTIVE rfids to authenticate cars.
