I originally considered SCO's efforts to be, as Stallman suggests, an attempt to shake the IBM money tree and see what would fall out.
When Microsoft made it's licensing agreement with SCO, I then began to consider that the whole tone and nature of the SCO lawsuit was a FUD campaign to hurt OSS, subsidized but not directly linked to Microsoft.
I keep switching back and forth as to which I think it is. Of course, it might be both.
http://www.stoprfid.org/faqs.html says that disconnecting from the antenna and then puncturing/crushing/pulverizing is the suggested kill methodology. They warn that microwaves, though in theory effective, cause the RFID tag to burst into flames, which tends to be a bad thing.
But earlier and later in the FAQ, they mention tags placed into the soles of shoes. Since this is done during the manufacturing process and would require slicing open the sole to find/destroy the tag (if you even knew where specifically it was), it doesn't seem there is an effective tag killer in this instance (and any other where the tags are deeply embedded).
So, anybody else know of an effective tag killer that doesn't involve destroying the item and/or setting it on fire?
One dyne is the force required to cause a mass of one gram to accelerate at a rate of one centimeter per second squared in the absence of other force-producing effects; A dyne is 100.000 times a newton.
It's a concept defined by Heraclitus, a greek philosopher born at Ephesus around 540 B.C., which once also said that "much learning does not teach understanding".

opening the bus door. Try getting on the bus without the door being open.
I've also patented opening the bus window, opening the bus skylight, ripping open a hole in the side of the bus and teleportation from outside the bus to inside the bus.
Specifically, I was commenting on the fact that the micro-engine uses lighter fluid to charge the cellphone. I feel uncomfortable enough putting a cellphone up to my ear under normal circumstances. I'd feel quite a bit more apprehensive if I'd just loaded it up with lighter fluid.
Memorial Day?
Heat?
Rain?(this year)
Tank tops/short shorts? (Women in..)
White shoes?(for those sartorially challenged)
Heat? (It deserves at least one other mention with Global Warming)

Canopy companies sometimes share more than a common parent. They form joint ventures and buy and sell one another's stock.
So they're buying each other's stocks, raising the prices and then selling them to outsiders at a profit.
In this cozy company, SCO even leases its office space from Canopy--a fact disclosed in Securities and Exchange Commission filings, along with the fact that SCO's chief financial officer, Robert Bench, has a side job as a partner in a Utah consulting firm that last year billed SCO for $71,200.
So they're renting space from the parent company, at possibly below market rates, making their own profits look bigger OR at above market rates making the parent companies profits look bigger.
But I'm confused how the CFO, who has a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders of SCO, can also be a partner of a company (hence having a fiduciary responsibility to his partners) that consults for SCO. He has cross-loyalties. Either the contracts with the firm are too generous, benefiting his partners at the expense of the shareholders OR the contracts are too strict screwing over his partners to the benefit fo the shareholders.
I'd rather have cheap products that strike the proper balance between protecting the rights of the creator of the art and myself, the consumer. Like with the Apple Music Store: $0.99 for individual tracks, DRM to stop casual piracy but not enough to stop me from listening in a way that is convenient to me.
I'd rather not pay good money to be treated as a criminal, have my fair use rights unilaterally taken away and lose the ability to listen to music I buy on my computer.

What is the genesis of the name? There is no mention in the FAQ (that I could see).
Now go do that voodoo that you do so well.

Even googling hasn't helped.

Well, that should make pirating much easier. But I'm sure the studios aren't worried about that.
If you'll read my comments, I suggested that option.

I didn't want to pat myself in the first place. I certainly don't want to repat myself. But that's just me.

You killed my operating system. Prepare to die.
Is that why the floating green monkeys keep quoting Satre today? I knew that seemed out of character for them.
