I interview a number of people each quarter for both IT Management and IT technical positions. I have three basic observations. Most IT management candidates NEVER enjoyed the technical aspects of IT so they try and escape to management. This leads to an IT management staff that walks around and says "I'm not technical", which leads to a group of managers that can't solve the most basic of problems (but they think they can). Most technical candidates don't understand even the most BASIC computer science concepts (Operating systems, algorithms, data structures). This is ALMOST always true of candidates from India. Finally, there is just a great number of un-qualified people that apply for IT positions. The range of problems my group has to solve is diverse and complex and we need qualified people that enjoy working on these problems. We just don't see that many qualified candidates.
I was trying to read the reviews, they all seemed rigged? The first 30 I looked at had 5 stars, but overall the device gets 2 1/2 stars. The device looks extremely unusable and what happens to your e-Books in 20 years?
Is it I, or did a great number of "questionable" technology professionals enter the programming field between 1998-2000? Is that not when history majors, Taco Bell workers, and bus drivers thought "programming" had luster and these.bomb companies hired them to developer E-commerce applications? My question is, didn't that hurt true computer scientists and information technologists? We have recently be interviewing many candidates to fill some technical positions, finding qualified candidates is difficult because we are still getting those folks that tried to ride the.bomb wave and it makes it tough to filter them out until you interview them. They usually pass the "I did everything" on the resume test. I have faith that "good", creative problem solving programmers are and will always be needed.
I agree with the mugging angle theory, though you will look a probabl theif, but, with current tags, you won't be getting goods reads through any of todays cars IMHO, and i've messed with a large number of available tags and readers.
That said, you only need 1 Canon EOS in a parking lot to make it worth while for the theif.
Your scenario is exactly why RSA came up with the "Block Tag", to essentially jam passive UHF readers. Not sure how well the blocker tag will work with the new GEN 2 spec though.
Dang, I got to watch the spelling. Your wrong again. I worked on the Solaris 2.3 & 2.4 kernel, so I hope I can hang with your superior intellect? I read inside NT, which is a pretty good indication of how NT was designed, it does have a Mach Kernel architecture, but they did not implement it cleanly, aren't drivers running in "ring 0", equivalent to compiling drivers into a kernel? Your completely fricking whacked on your assessment of DEC on NT. It sucked, performed like crap, I know, they tried to compete with us when I was at Sun. You ain't shown me you know shit about this subject, OS History, or kernel design...and you can make fun of my spelling Anal boy, but you don't know dick about this subject. DEC & NT, was a disaster, and it took DEC down.

Not a bad reply Mensa, still wrong, weak and bais. I agree I should have spelled Phoenix correctly, to much Miller. What happened to DEC after the NT debacle "Super Man".?? Let that speak for itself. And. the poor guy (NT 3.1 Designer) designed VMS, but Microsoft got the best of him.
Hey Computer "Mensa", compiling XP in 64-bit mode does not make it 64-bit "useful", and computationally fast. A tuna-fish can release a 64-bit OS, but to truely leverage 64-bit, please Microsoft. Come on Phoneix On-Line Grad. Sun Solaris and Linux are much better, heck, even AIX 5.2 is a better 64-bit OS then the "Been there since 1996" Microsoft.
Sun has released a bunch of great technology, I know, use to work there. Nobody understands have the crap Sun releases because they never release anything users can grasp with the technology release. If you look at Core Image, and Core Video (OS X 10.4) and your not impressed, then your a frickin moron. Can Sun do that, does Sun have similiar if not better technology for the same applications. Yes stupid, but it doesn't matter. McNeally and Jobs.
Did anyone notice that he seems put himself and Bill Gates at the same level. Or somehow, anything he says borders on God-Speak. I heard him speak at JavaOne in 1998, kind of a "keynote" panel of experts. The guy was a first rate whack-bag, everyone started leaving the more he talked. I think he is a nut, and should have continued working on BSD.

Thank you Thank You Thank you for this response.
You bring sense to the chaos surrounding RFID. For a technical forum, people don't know Jack Squat about RFID and ALL IT's limitations. So before more crap is spread about it, please spend an hour on the physics of RFID and you will quickly see (unless your a frickin idiot) all it's limitations. RFID to track sex offenders, you got to be kidding me. Please research topic...Pitiful.
Bottom line, IT just has to get back to delivering solutions in a timely manner. You don't need 20,000,000 worth of tools to do it, or a team of 50. Just determination, backed by a little pride.
Most of the time, business users ask IT for a "Drink of Water", we tend to want to build them "Water Treatment Plants". By the time the plant gets close, the business users died of thirst.

Little tricky for passive UHF tags, or 13.56 MHZ tags to penetrate a metal drunk or door.
Or, buy all the developers in India for 56,000,000,000. With an option are their children.
