  6. Re:It already exists on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    I dont like the way those places work. All the people are told the way they should say things like "have a nice day" i want people to say things like that beacuse ive been polite to them and they genuinely want me to have a nice day not beacuse some marketing guy says so. Phrases like that have now lost all meaning beacuse they are banded around superficially in places like macdonalds. and before i go completly off topic "Rfid something something" ;-)

    Hey, while we are at it, lets put it on scanners at our stores, and we can detect if employees are leaving with more money than they came to work with.

  21. Re:You have to laugh at the US way on Pentagon Soft-Pedals Total Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    by "its for terrorism" i meant its for fighting terrorism. I thaught it was kinda implied beacuse the main story said they had changed it to a force against terrorism. The US and UK seem to be rushing all their new laws that disregard our privacy through under anti terrorism banners...

  24. Uk ps2 on PS2 Class Action Lawsuit Against DVD Player · · Score: 1

    I havent encountered any problems playing discs on my ps2. However the sound is AWEFULLY low (the tv has to be turned to full volume to hear the dvd at normal tv volume - and this has been tested on 2 tv's) also it sometimes plays things in the wrong aspect - Lee evans live in london plays fullscreen and looks all screwy. My downstairs tv has a widescreen button which squashes it down so it looks fine but my bedroom tv doesent :-(

  25. Re:Without a doubt on What Website has the Cleanest Site Design? · · Score: 1

    The fact that its ads (paid for listings on the right of the main results) are so unobtrusive and not some rapidly flashing things trying to get my attention means i click on them more.
