It's still a privacy problem as long as you can't create your own tags and do whatever you want with them, but OTOH it seems pretty cool! Really scary: cool RFIDs...
What's definitely not cool is that hardware is still not scriptable, and it surely won't be in the future, so these cool RFIDs won't be cool for a long time if you can't script anything to use them. It will only be read-only software...
And the broadcast flag is automatically cleared when the packet leaves american computers? We should tell Cisco to put this new feature in their routers.
Speaking of minitel: I still see ads on TV about minitel services. These guys should better create their own web sites instead of relying on 20 years old technology.
But killing and torture of Tibetan monks doesn't seem very socialist to me, more like old fashion communism.
And the Dalai Lama is still out of Tibet as he would be imprisonned if he were to go back to his home country.
But QT is no longer available in its GPL version for Windows' platforms. KDE developpers could still buy a license (or one for each platform!): $2000 is the cheapest you can get...
Your own representatives said they would vote against software patents
No they didn't. In fact, no one knows what a patent is, neither an operating system. The french president doesn't even know what a mouse is. Only geeks care about this sort of thing. We're really doomed.
Send a letter to...
I'm french and I can tell you that it doesn't work that way in France: letters go directly to the recycle bin. Only polls done before an election can scare a politician enough to make him work.
When you go to the next level, it's OK to take a break, but if you're having some FPS, the "loading" time when you're fragged is inexistant. You NEED this refreshing Diet Coke!!!! (but you must kill at the same time...)
- One Swedish made penis enlarger pump! - That's not mine! - One credit card receipt for Swedish made penis enlarger signed by Austin Powers! - I'm telling you baby. That's not mine!
You're saying Longhorn is going to be more expensive but for most people Longhorn will be free (pre-installed on their new PC bought at Wallmart) and they won't see the difference...

That's what Java is all about: you can be an assembly zealot and still be platform independant with the JVM opcodes ;)
This is what japanese people have done for years: being ridiculous and not caring with Karaoke, they have found something else.
The Audigy panels (from Sound Blaster) have digital input and output through optical fiber, maybe you can try that right now.

China is a Socialist nation, not a Communist one.

It's a game, not world domination.
It's a game, not world domination yet...
Have you noticed that $2.50 is twice the price of the full high-quality song on ITMS?

the licensing fees for the postal service.
I prefer the word stamps, it's shorter...

It was the Navajo language. Now that would be a great language to learn for the future ;)
The most important question about spammers: do they really deserve to die?
Oh, you mean "intelligence" is the new american word for "killer"?
for learning how to drive/fly one of these things?
Please, you're on Slashdot, we already know how to drive flying cars! Or have I wasted all these years playing video games?
aaaaahhhhh, JANET...
Weird, I always thought the first amendment was more "powerful" than the second one...
I'm your friend if you accept cookies from the Washington Post...
But how would you check CSS modified pages? If I create a class named etchwane that looks exactly like a real H1?
And what about the SHA-1 checksums used in the BitTorrent protocol? It's supposed to detect defective packets, it should drop fake packets too?
The other flaw of these bar codes is that they will bring you to 404 Not Found pages one month after they are printed...
