Imagine That, Deja Vu All Over Again

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

Seriously, Big Brother, I said SLOW DOWN!. What’s really funny is that if you ask me what I want to do for a career, the letters RFID might actually come up in the conversation. But I only want to use them to track inventory, not people. Umm, no he shouldn’t. When I read these arguments [...]
