Convert a SIM To a MicroSIM, With a Meat Cleaver

Posted by timothy on from the next-week-how-to-deliver-a-baby dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This morning, my shiny new iPad 3G 64GB arrived from the USA! The only problem was, it had an AT&T MicroSIM and as yet there is no such thing in the UK. So what's the solution? Get a chopping board, a meat cleaver, and a pair of scissors — simples!"

    You'll ruin your mighty-fine blade. Rock it on the cutting board, dice up a big 'ol pile of veggies. This is a cleaver.

    Boy, Slashdot needs <WP:Cleaver>-style tags.

    I have to do it. My parents own a kitchen store.

    THAT'S NOT A MEAT CLEAVER!

    It's most likely an 8" chef's knife. However, a meat cleaver would be better since the front and back edges are closer to parallel, where as the chef's knife is tapered to a point. The parallel edges would give a more precise cut when hammering on the back edge.
