While I didn't think the classic slashdot look needed changing, the first thing that struck me looking at the new slashdot 'packaging' was a karma soothing appearance.
It isn't three phase like a HVAC blower motor, it is three separate legs using a common neutral, *** BUT ***, if each of the three legs draws a different amount of current, there is an imbalance on the neutral and computers hate that.
1. Or an RFID reader killer. 2. Cash is being phased out to the ubiquitous 'magnetic identification' tag found on credit and atm cards and very soon on passports. 3. Toll booth passes ( like the EZpass in the northeast U.S. ) are already in great use. Just place a EZpass reader unobtrusively on a intersection traffic light to catch speeders or red light runners. Why do drivers on toll roads speed when calculating their speed by the amount of time between entry and exit of the toll road or speed through the EZpass toll booth reader ( I've been dinged by this already ) is trivial. 5. The market is ripe for mu-metal EZpass storage containers. Or 'Faraday shielding' ( SCIF ) for your automobile or house. 6. Even my two doggies have RFID tags implanted, the vetinarian can read it, but when I'm walking them, so can 'big-brother'. Do I need 'mu-metal' woven into vests or collers for them.
The most important point for anyone using 'net apps" is 'where's the data?'. My grandmother might not care, but any entity that lives or dies by data safety and/or data integrity and/or data privacy should be demanding an answer to that question. Anyone who lets their data out of their direct control deserves any liabilty that befalls them.

Or maybe they want to plant some code for someone to find.

trouble shooting and correcting DC power is simpler than working with linear power supplies. Unfamiliarity is the problem, not the technology.

Am I being too paranoid?
