I use the UBNT M units in site to site wireless bridges and have had excellent luck with them. For the price they stomp the hell out of much higher priced units.
It looks like they have miniaturized the linux boxes that I've been running as routers, OSPF, dhcprelay, firewalling, etc all in a much smaller format. Glad to see they are pushing out a good product against cisco and ilk that have gotten lazy lately.
How is an automated factory a robot? The ingredients are fed into a hopper and move along constrained pathways and processed automatically just like in the typical factory. A robot would be some humanoid setup with far less machinery and far more intelligence.
Why must robots be humanoid? Sometimes making a robot less humanoid reduces the needed complexity and speeds up or simplifies the process.
Did you know that just about all the cheap prepared food you can find in a supermarket is already made by machines in a production line? This is not some new experimental technology in any other sense except that they are trying to make a low-cost machine that can be cheaply installed in a large number of establishments.
The OP just goes to show that most people have no idea where their food comes from and what it has been in before it goes to their mouth. Hell a huge portion of it is processed in ways and methods that you would not suspect 'food' was being made till the end product was finished. It also explains why we're getting fat. All the water and fiber is taken out of our food, and all that's left is starch and fat.
Unless that manufacture bribes the government to create IP laws allowing this 'Company X' sole distribution rights to widget Y for an ever extending period of time. In which if you want widget Y you either pay company X whatever they want for it or hope you can grey market one of them from a shady Chinese distributor.
>Lots of the arguments revolve around things like "Technology X didn't end the world so this won't either
Those same people would probably say something like "Nuclear weapons didn't end the world so lets build MOAR NUKES!", even though the terrible danger they put us in. If something doesn't kill us the first time, we will try, try, try again till it does.
Yea, the OP doesn't realize that every damn thing that he eats out of a 'box' has traveled through some kind of clanky high speed stainless steel greased chain machine. You'd have thought that./ readers would have watched How it's made or something similar.
Make a simple device that sets a new MAC every minute (or whatever their poll time is) and plug it in at the store somewhere unnoticeable. Fill up there their database with crap.
Why would this make us more obese, this won't make more fat food then we already have, just a new way of doing it. It will just put a few low paid cooks out of a job and leaves one job for some guy that fixes the machine.

I don't have any issue with non-rfid cards, fingerprint* scanners, or such. They are not 'long range' (comparatively), you have to have directly touch some device there there is no 'leakage' other then finger prints on what you touch. The RFID being used in these schools is battery powered and has a range big enough to be detected and used by people you wouldn't expect.
*fingerprint records should be deleted once student graduates or leaves district.
If you want to get caught, you'd let one other student carry it all day. Be pretty easy to correlate which student had it as not only would the class room detectors see it, but other detectors around the school. If you switch it off between students over the day it would make it much more difficult.
You lack imagination. You don't have to have RFID on the bathroom door. Just put it on the doors that access the hallway the bathroom is in. Of course that depends on the building design.
Spot on. What most people don't get is that regular harddrives provide good streaming throughput on large unfragmented files. You want movies and other large, most read files on spinning disk because it's cheap. Where SSD rules is random IO and IOPS. Your small file read and writes, logging, and database just excel on SSD. People bitching that the SSD isn't big enough for their media would be the same person that would bitch that their race car doesn't hold as much as a semi (lorry).
So what you say to do is 'Shut up because everything is OK' which works fine while everything remains OK, until the parasitic load gets too high and the host dies. It is a balancing act where both sides of the balance are trying to take all (greed), if one side gains too much power the entire structure tips over.
Also, if my kid wants something too expensive, or I don't feel they've earned I say No, and if they get pissy about it they can stand in the corner.
If my government wants something too expensive, or I feel they have not earned, they can take it by force, drum up fake evidence of WMD's, or give away pork projects to key votes to get whatever they want.
Your routing prefix is unlikely to change (first 48 bits) Your subnet id says the same per 'net' and only varys if you have more then one addressable network (16 bits) the last 64 bits are the easy part... type:: to compress out the 12 zeros you don't need to type then start at 1 and go up to ffff
Just avoid automatic addressing for systems that you are going to access like servers. Everything else should use a automatic dns registration system when getting an IPv6
ANY 128 bit address is going to have 'human' issues at the entry level because people don't handle that many bits well.

This story is retarded in the sense that the internet doesn't really matter. There are hundreds of stories of kids doing 'x' when parents didn't let them do 'y'.
cases of y y = not letting them see their friends. y = not buying something they want. y = not letting them see their wannabe sexual partner. y = not letting them go to a party. y = not letting them drive or get a car.
x has lots of different outcomes too x = running away. x = lighting the house on fire. x = calling the cops on the parents and making up a story. x = murdering their parents.
Put Internet, Video Game, or Computer in front of 'common teenage angst' and it suddenly becomes a news story.
>To say Star Craft is not a violent video game is like saying Hitler didn't kill anyone during the Holocaust.
I killed 50 billion living entities today. Granted, I'd agree it's not 'gratuitous' murder and meyhem, and used done on a kitchen counter and not a game console. But to someone with serious mental and emotional problems who's to say how detrimental using Lysol on bacteria is once they have access, guns, gasoline, or political office.

The adults are employees. The children are the (forced by state) customers.
I'd be pretty pissed off if I had to carry a tracker on me when I went in to a store to shop.
Oh, and I don't work at a place that has RFID cards.

Research has shown that some humans kill. What's your point?
If I was a killer and you were cloning a billion copies of me, someone might find that a cause for concern.
