Here's a hint: it's because you're arrogant and foolish, constantly sticking your noses where they aren't wanted and demanding crap out of other people. And then, when someone actually has the balls to say no, you declare them evil assholes *cough*France*cough*.
You want to be taken seriously. Take these steps:
1) Learn to read and write. Take note, you're speaking English, not American. Also, basic geography. And before you invade a country, be sure that at least half your population knows where it is.
2) Stop being such pussies. So a few thousand of you died because of terrorism. Big deal. Shit happens. It's no reason to go around killing and looting.
3) When you elect a president, be sure they're smarter than a fifth grader.
4) Join the international community properly. Note that this means apologising for being such dickheads for the last few decades. Suck it up.
If you don't? Well, I can only guess......................

Good point... Maybe we should just have a referendum to decide whether or not RFID's are used in government cards. I'd be willing to bet that most people would be against it, after they are made aware of the risks.

So, the US government starts putting them in drivers licenses (and tells you). Do you not drive?Turquoise wrote:
a) I think it should be allowed, but it should be REQUIRED that the company tells you an RFID is in the card. The same should go for the government and its use of them in ID cards.
Personally, I'd NEVER willingly use a card with an RFID, because of the security concerns.
Pin codes can also be stolen, plus it can sort of defeat the purpose of using a credit card.Turquoise wrote:
b) You make a good point with this one. I'm still a big fan of having to put in a PIN code for transactions -- like when you use a debit card.
Which is kind of one of the points of the article...................Hurricane wrote:

So, after seeing this I did some looking into the use of RFIDs in credit cards and found a couple of interesting articles:
Firstly this which is perhaps worrying in terms of the cavalier attitude of the companies.
Secondly this, which discusses using credit cards for small transactions (less that $35AUS, which is somewhere between $20US and $30US, I think) without signature. At first it seemed odd, but the more I though about it the less odd it seems. Speaking at someone who works in retail (in two completely different environments) I can tell you that you signature means absolutely nothing. Nobody bothers to look at it. Most people don't because they're lazy. I don't because I known the science behind fraud detection: when they look for a fake signature they look for something that's to straight and precise: that is, something that's too perfect. So there's no way I'm gonna be able to spot a fraud. I suspect that the use of a signature is more to make them look secure that anything else.
Basically, my question is:
a) Does the use of RFID (specifically in credit cards, but also in other applications) concern you?
b) Do you think that use of RFID will increase regardless of consumer safety concerns?

France is like Europe's version of America. Perhaps that's why they hate each other so much - because they're similar. France will, with a distinct lack of principles, stop at nothing to slimily, immorally and ruthlessly further its national interests at all costs, much like America. It's a stain on Europe. A French colleague of mine was approached by someone from the French embassy to 'provide them with information on the electricity industry that would give France a competitive edge' in exchange for favours/payment as we here in Ireland are at the forefront of wind generation technology and the integration of it onto transmission systems. That's the kind of underhandedness that goes on and that is akin to how the Brits and Americans do business.
