It's just a QR code, which is little more than an advanced barcode. I don't see why we feel the need to write stories every time one gets used. It's like reading about paint drying.

This is like Sony getting up and telling us all that the Xbox is making us stupid.

You have to question the source here. The guy is an editor for Encyclopedia Britannica - something that is likely being hurt by free information publications such as Wikipedia.

The editors here are shit.

Mine was a man. Your theory is garbage.

Post more irrelevant scientifically questionable bullshit, please.

God, this site is such garbage now. I don't even know why I bother to come here.

It's hashing, not encryption you illiterate fucking morons.

Fuck you slashdot, you should know better. More than that, if my fucking mail password is hashed, it can't be passed to the servers. Slashdot is such a flaming piece of shit these days.

The same thing that happen when you privatize anything. Corporations overcharge, provide shitty service, and generally use their influence to manipulate the government.

You hit the nail on the head. Taco is such a douche.

Cmdrtaco. A prime example of irrelevance.

Start posting real news again. This is as interesting as watching paint dry.
