What's in Your Billfold?
realian001 asks: "I have been through many different types of wallets...(those long wallets, tri-fold, bi-fold, money-clips, etc, etc). I finally settled on a bi-fold, but I was just curious, how does the average Slashdot reader 'configure' their wallet? A type of wallet would be a good starting point, then having cash or not, and/or how many different types of credit cards, grocery discount cards, etc etc etc."
You might want to be careful with that. I carried spare house and car keys in my wallet until a friend of mine had his stolen. I realized that you've got something in there showing your address (your license if nothing else). If you've got that and your keys, you lose your wallet, followed by your car, and then (if you carried a house key too) anything in your house that wasn't aniled down. I perpetually lock my keys in my truck, and I separated my car keys and building (home, work, etc) keys onto a separate rings, and put a spare car key on the house ring. Saved me a few times.
Sort of on topic... when I went overseas a few years ago, I took everything out of my wallet and photocopied it, front and back. I keep a copy at home now so if my wallet ever gets lost or stolen, it's amazingly easy to figure out what I lost and I have the phone numbers and account numbers without having to shuffle though old bills.
I don't do this for karma, I do it for cash. It's much better.
Actually, that'd be a good feature request for mozilla.
Options-no sound from webpages... that would rock.
