I have an RFID tag that says "Shell" on it. I used to be able to wave it in front of a gas pump at the Shell station and then start filling the car.
It was super convenient because their system remembered my credit card and Air Miles card. Which now sounds like a security nightmare.
Shell stopped supporting it ages ago (15 years maybe?) and we've also decided that Air Miles is no longer paying enough for our shopping data.
Was Gas N'Go a Shell affiliate?

Looks like Esso killed their version[^] of it as well:

Well that's a possible problem avoided...

We have a similar system in Israel, but I don't know the technical details (RFID? something else?). I do know that it is very short range - the receiver is on the pump's nozzle, and it won't work unless the nozzle is in the car's fuel thingy (technical term ).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Didn't know about Israel. The thing is R&D have created a system following a standard (no specifics, lots of hand waving!), sounds like the system in Israel is using NFC (Near Field Communications). I think R&D has got a system for NFC which uses bit of RFID and has got blurred vision.

Cannot say I've ever seen that. Now they have tap panel right on the gas pump - just tap a credit or debit card and get authorized for $100. Start filling up right away. Some places have started bumping up the authorization amount, as some cars need a lot more than $100 CDN to fill the tank...

Explanation please?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

My brain doesn't equate Fix = Pin, affix does though. Must be American verses the world kind of thing.

I'm just drawn that way!"
Still worth watching, even with ads: Who Framed Roger Rabbit. For any young whippersnappers, this movie heralded a paradigm shift, similar to the original Avatar.

Sorry, I always forget about that aspect of our stupid DRM system.

I'm not sure "being the movie that inexplicably made the most money of all time" is a "paradigm shift".
I've never seen any other quality in that movie.

I meant the shift to 3d for Avatar. Rodger Rabbit was a shift in digital, 2d.

Oh.
I had already forgotten about that fad, and I'm saying that as someone with a 3D TV in his basement.
Did they even bother making the second one in 3D?
