Comment Its actually quite worring (Score 1) 618

I am just about to leave university in the UK (Computing for real time systems not maths) The question they show on there I can answer in my head hardly thinking about it. Its stuff we covered year 8 (I was 11 years old for you guys in the US no idea what that equates to in your system) It makes me worried what has happened to the school system in the last few years. Even the first years at uni are struggling badly at the moment, our lectures keep going on about a failure in the education system. There was comments about failing them all, but I think funding considerations were taken into account and they all got extensions. If a student drops out in the first year the university has to give back the extra money they got from the government so they like people to get past the first year before dropping out. It really is quite worrying hearing some of the questions they ask some times. So yeah the education system over here has gone down the pan pretty rapidly as far as I can tell.

Ten Best, Worst, and Craziest Uses of RFID 126

An anonymous reader writes "This top 10 rounds up what it calls 'the best, worst and craziest' uses of RFID out there — including chipped kids at Legoland, smart pub tables that let you order drinks, smartcards for sports fans, and chipped airline passengers. The craziest use of the tech surely has to be RFID chips for Marks & Spencer suits — you couldn't pay most people to wear one of them."
