    "They don't need to go that far. A simple bar code will do."

    Tassimo already does this. Granted, they actually make it somewhat useful; the barcode contains rudimentary instructions on how to prepare the coffee (how much water, for example), at least supposedly.

    "hackers (not to be confused with crackers that break into systems for criminal purposes)"

    Thank you. No, really.

    Thank you for taking the initiative to distinguish hackers from crackers. This alone makes a big difference.

    Just from reading those words, I knew this would be a well-thought-out article, and looks like I was right. Well put.

    It goes against any kind of semblance of hacker ethics to serve an entity which strives to eradicate the unfettered thoughts and acts which make creative ingenuity and perpetual learning/growth possible. Hopefully we'll come through as the winners, rather than fail and be forgotten.
