We've found that releasing laptops from the 4th floor of our dorm to be highly enjoyable. That goes for old TV's, laser printers (the old 75+ pound variety), monitors and most any other large equipment or furniture.
I suppose this doesn't integrate the equipment back into society, but it does get it well on its way to integrating back with mother nature.
Well, hopefully a little something tangible as measure... because I'm already pissed that tangibles I earn support.(through a myriad of government programs) people who feel successful in heart and head alone.
I read the same article. Most of the stolen Mach3's are not happening in retail stores... cases go missing from warehouses, trucks, and even trucks loaded with cases of the Mach3 go missing. So by taggging at the case level, the first step to item level tracking, Gillette hopes to eliminate those cases showing up at flea markets, on ebay, etc.
They would do this with RFID by 1) tagging cases/items. 2) sending people to flea markets (there are already anti-counterfeit services for this) buying online, etc. 3) scanning the item/case to find out where in the supply chain it was taken. So if it was scanned at the warehouse, scanned at the dock to be placed on truck #13, but never scanned when it was getting off the truck... then you know to investigate the history of that truck, the dock worker who was loading the truck and the driver at the time. This gives a rather good start in an investigation.
Did you make and money as a "software pirate"? If so, how much? If not, what was your motivation?

First, I hate Blockbuster. There's one on every corner and they have crushed nearly all the mom-n-pop rental stores in my area. Every time I walk into one (with my gf and her membership card, I've long since tore mine up) I see the lazy people behind the counters, the 10 step checkout process that should be 3, and the long line built up. Monkeys could do the job, I just think that wall sized vending machines with a couple of checkout points could do it better. Throw in one monkey in case there is a problem, and presto, you have reduced personell by 75% and increased convenience and speed. Oh, and hopefully I wouldn't walk out of there with the 30 or so receipts that Blockbuster now shoves in your hand.
Scientific American carried a similar story in their most recent issue. "The Economics of Fair Play BY KARL SIGMUND, ERNST FEHR AND MARTIN A. NOWAK Biology and economics may explain why we value fairness over rational selfishness."

Gregory Hawkins, CEO of BUY.com is on CNBC and is confirming that BUY.com was attacked by a denial of service attack from at least three physical locations. They have 100MB capacity though Exodus and were hit with 800MB traffic. BUY.com IPO'ed today so someone wanted to make some noise... CNBC is continuing to run a story on the "technicals" of a denail of service attack.
