I have a feeling that by the time we are considering flinging one planet into another, things on good old happy Earth are gonna be sucking pretty hard...
You've given us something to think of. Too bad it doesn't matter and we'll all be dead by lunchtime on Sunday...make sure you call Mom before the busy weekend starts.
But they published such a nice article for you to read! For shame...
To answer your question directly, from TFA, Homeland Security is "intrigued" or some such nonsense by RFID. I'm not crazy about the whole thing, but if this is to come I sure hope that they choose barcodes or magnetic strips as a standard. If they go with RFID, us/.'ers should start a pool to see when it will be widely cracked. What then? Reissue us new cards? Slide them into a USB device on our comps to get the latest patch installed on our cards?
It's the data hombre, always the data. He can go through My Docs and C:\ to a fare thee well, but end users can find all sorts of places to save confidential documents on their drive, and I wouldn't wanna spend all day looking through every document file on there to see if it is safe to leave on there or not. Sometimes I think people swear a HIPAA oath at gunpoint. Medical offices seem to get panicky when that topic comes up, like they wouldn't dare step out of line. Fine by me, but a curious reaction I have noticed in the last couple of years.
Return Merchandise Authorization - basically you speak to the manufacturer of the dead component and if both parties deduce it is the company's problem and will fix or (ideally) replace said fuxxored doohickey.
I imagine it will indeed be turned based, but in an action-y display style that minimizes the fact that you swing, then the monster swings, etc - ala NWN style. Then again, what do I know - I'm just a humble kobold...
I worked at Verio and was/am very good friends with the people who got things cleaned up from a spam standpoint. I am also happy to say I did my share of helping in this. Verio is like every other ISP - the people there really do care about their customers and their reputation on the Internet - sometimes it take a little convincing the fellas upstairs of the harm that can come from hosting spammers.

Wonderful stuff! Among the highlights I have gleaned thus far:
1) The defendant wants to make sure the court is crystal clear on the fact that he did not use peyote before filing his lawsuit.
2) Terrorists use Linux to view beheadings that they film.
Haven't gotten too far yet, but I hope this entices others to read some of this lunatic's rantings.
I think you might believe that this is actually a good idea...
Hearing IBM, bad sector and Very Bad Things happening reminded me of the Death Star
Thanks for mentioning the memo. You're right - this US citizen didn't know anything about it till now (overworked and inattentive these days).

Firebombing runs are bad. So is a surprise attack like Pearl Harbor.
