What the heck are you talking about? It ain't hard, dude. Maybe you're missing the XSL link in the equation? XML + XSL -> HTML...
We do *loads* of this where I work, easy as pie!
They *couldn't* put the tags in little faraday cages, because then the tags would not be able to send or receive radio signals. Any device they could build that could send and receive radio signals would be vulnerable to destruction by strong EMF fields. A microwave would work just great, but it would be easy to build a box with an strong EMF pulse generator, into which you could put many more things than you would want to nuke in the microwave.
I understood the parent post to be referring to Phi, which is the Golden Ratio - 1.618
A is to B as B is to A+B.
I should have posted the link in the first place. Here's where I found it: http://www.infinitetechnologies.co.za/articles/geo metry1.html
Go argue with the dude who wrote the page! That's what I get for trying to look smart in/., I guess, heh.
Phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2, about 1.618
This number appears all over the place in nature, and, most interestingly, in the structure of DNA:
One rung of the DNA ladder has two golden mean pentagrams, two hexagons, and a golden mean rectangle in the middle, more or less. Also, the helix of the DNA molecule advances by a vertical increment of 1.618 per turn.
How's that?
