Yes and yes. There are 3 types of RFID. Passive RFID has no battery source and requires an external electromagnetic field to initiate transmission, active RFID has a battery and can transmit signals once an external source has been identified, and battery assisted passive RFID, which requires an external source to "wake up" but have a greater transmission range because of the battery.

There are security risks, but things have started to change such as "rolling codes" where the tag ID changes after each use.

lol that is so incredibly wrong.

Stuff like this can be really insecure though, simply because the web itself is inherently insecure. These new devices are just exposing the weaknesses more and more.

Anyway, I really want to get a droid phone, I've had it with this iphone/at&t bullpoo. Just last week I started learning the API for droid development and it's pretty damn cool. Now I just need to think of an app that can make me millions.

True the web is generally unsecure, although not really any less secure than carrying around a big wad of cash, or using your credit card in a restaurant or store. Those actions are also inherently insecure.

As far as using open source code, it has its advantages and disadavantages.

One of the coolest things I have seen at a trade show (purely devlopemental for now) was a little device that plugs into a phone and acts as a seperate firewall and intrustion detection device, and actually analyzes incoming and outgoing traffic seperate from the phones software. It can be programmed with various security settings. Its about the size of my thumb. All you have to do is plug it in to a USB port on the phone.

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      So, Carolina (7-6) goes into a Bye Week while they sit on top of the NFCS with Tampa Bay (7-5). For those that don’t know here is how the tiebreaking procedures work for the Division: Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss The Panthers are currently 7-6 with a 2-1 record in the division and a 5-3 record in the NFC. The Bucs are currently 7-5 with a 2-0 record in the division and 5-3 record in the NFC. *Should the Panthers make it to Tiebreaker #5 they will almost certainly lose since this team enjoys winning in the final minute each week. Hopefully, they can avoid letting it go that far. Remaining Schedules: The Panthers round out their schedule with: ·       Bye Week ·       @ New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Tampa Bay (7-5) ·       VS Seattle (9-3) ·       @ Tampa Bay (7-5) Tampa will round out their schedule with: ·       VS New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Atlanta (4-8) ·       @ Carolina (7-6) ·       @ Miami (5-7) ·       VS Carolina (7-6) So to make this even more complicated, you need to cheer for the Saints this week and be prepared to hate them next week. Hopefully, them, the Falcons, or the Dolphins can give us a hand along the way. Conclusion: The easiest path forward is to beat New Orleans and sweep the Bucs. However, that would be too easy so we may need some help from our cousins in Georgia and Louisiana. Personally, I think Miami may give Tampa some problems since it looks like they are starting to turn their season around. But knowing us, we will find a way to lose to the Saints and somehow beat Seattle just to keep things interesting. There is 1 quarter of the football season left, and the way I have it figured that’s kind of how our playoff chances go over the next 4 games: By finishing: ·       1-3: (Eliminated, even if one wins against Tampa, it won’t matter) ·       2-2: (50% chance depending on who we beat, if Seattle/New Orleans- No. If Tampa both times, maybe if not likely, would still need some help from somebody on their schedule). ·       3-1: (Very likely if not certainly. Would mean sweeping the Bucs and either the Saints/Seahawks OR beating Saints/Seahawks with at least one win against the Bucs) ·       4-0: (Dust off your Sunday best and clip your nails, we are hosting a playoff game!) So get ready for meaningful football in December, because it’s here for the first time in a long while.

      So....What Do We Do About Legette?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I really don't think so. They're different receivers. Coker doesn't have that straight line speed. X may have to worry if we bring someone else in, but I still think he has a chance to get it together.
