There really is no excuse for this disgustingly large waste of money. Simple automation programming is so obvious I just can't imagine how incompetent the decision makers in these organizations must be.
I agree and had the same thoughts. I'm going to assume this malware was flooding the cell network, much like the Melissa virus years ago "crippled" networks.
Yes actually, Ohrion is an alias I use and have for some time. What (might have been you, but I don't know) was described above that I'd replied to is NOT a mutual agreement. It was something decided upon ONLY by the consumer, hence the consumer setting the price. This is not how a free market works at all.
So what you're saying is, the consumer should set the price based on how much they're willing to pay? That you think this is how it should work is simply amazing. That you posted this as AC points to what you really think about it.
You probably WOULD have been modded up, except you posted as Anonymous Coward. Mods don't seem to really mod the comment, they mod the user. Hence, Anonymous Coward comments rarely get modded up.
Correct. I'm pretty sure any gasoline taxes you pay while this system is in effect will be applied as Gas Tax Credits. Provided you keep your receipts you will most likely be able to claim these when filing your taxes.
Having a hacked RFID would BE the reason you'd be pulled over. The enforcement officers would note that the license plate doesn't match the assigned RFID to the vehicle. It would be as obvious to an officer as driving with an expired plate registration. These things can be checked while the officer is driving behind you.
Interesting, sounds like the "penetration testers" are trying a snail mail version of whaling. Make sure your customers know not to plug in miscellaneous USB sticks they find laying around the parking lot. It's just another way for "pen testers" to bypass your security.

Parent post and it's grandparent win the internets. That's right, they win ALL of them.
Hey, thanks for the link, that guy is funny!

I wish I had mod points left. This is a good point you make.
canceling mod.
Yes seriously, the mods could spend all their points in this slashdot article very quickly.

XKCD called it first here. http://xkcd.com/651/
How much do patents weigh? I'm trying to figure out how many patents are in a ton.
The parent was referring to Original Poster's wife, who is a counselor. Troi was also somewhat of a counselor.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing. The guy totally misunderstood the argument, and made an asinine statement as a rebuttal.

Are you two married?
It's useful for biometrics. Like for security, not for suspect identification...
Employers don't really care. They just want to see a list of skills, the other crap is a waste of time.
Maybe it's more of a hire'em to catch'em policy. Like, "give 'em enough rope...".

You find this annoying? Why? Do you commonly sit next to your computer at work while doing absolutely nothing on it for extended periods of time?
Obviously the straps are PART of the monitoring equipment and contain the electrodes to ensure contact with the skin.
I second that.
Well shoot, where do I stand to get in the way then!?
