Unfortunately for Fox News, that would mean that they could not quote anyone or use excerpts from books or speeches without prior approval.
Yeah, that would be a serious hindrance if Fox News were in the business of reporting facts.
And if RFID tags are easily copied, isn't that a good thing? It will discourage attempts to use them for surveillance.
The comparison of RFID tags and Social Security numbers is entertaining, but the risk with SSNs is largely because they are treated as if they are secret when they are not. (Okay, they've also been overused as a primary key because too many public and private organizations were too lazy to generate their own unique ids, which does make it easier to aggregate information *once you have access to it*.)
The article refers to "Paget's cloning experiment." But it doesn't actually say that any cloning was involved, only reading at a distance. Is cloning as easy as reading? I don't know, and neither does the article's author, I would guess.
I don't understand why magazine publishers think that we need to pay for their content twice. I mean, I'm already paying for their content via the magazine subscription fee so why should I even have ads? Either get rid of the subscription fees or get rid of the ads. This is like paying for a "premium" website only to get hit by pop ups on every page. I mean, I could even understand an ad or two at the start and after the end of an article, but why do they think they need to have pages of ads for every issue when I'm already paying for their content?
JP: So are these raters college students or random folks responding to a job post? What are the requirements?
SH: It's a pretty wide range of folks. The job requirements are not super-specific. Essentially, we require a basic level of education, mainly because we need them to be able to communicate back and forth with us, give us comments and things like that in writing.
Funny how the introduction restates the interviewer's preconception even though the actual interview implies otherwise.
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
