Press A for decapitation, B for dismemberment and C for liquidation.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm all for RFID!]]>Mar 23rd 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/23/print-magazine-rfid-hyperbole/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/23/print-magazine-rfid-hyperbole/
Now, a MAGAZINE lasts forever, IF you take care of it.

And frankly, there are places where I can take a magazine, where I can't take an online version.

You can carry a magazine to the crapper.
You can take a woodworking magazine into your shop (not a good place for PCs).
You can carry a magazine on a hike.
You can read you magazine during a power outage (provided you have a light source...uh...FIRE)

For as smart as these "inventions" try to be, they sure are dumb.

But there are cases where an RFID tag works much, much better than a regular barcode. I work at a public library (see my siggie line) and the trend is going towards replacing our barcodes and security strips with RFID tags. The difference between the two is *fantastic*. When a library uses RFID tags, computers can check in books as they are being dropped in the return bin, and then give the patron a receipt showing everything that was returned. With the normal barcode system, there is literally no way to do that, and you end up having to check in each and every book by hand, usually hours after a patron has dropped them off.

And checking out a book is amazingly simplistic with RFID tags in comparison with barcodes. The librarian in me salivates every time the phrase RFID tag is used. Don't pay attention to that drool coming down my chin - it's normal, promise.
