    Ahhhh... "The Stranger."

    Good for those who sleep on their arms.

    That's a card holder. We're talking about RFID passports.

    How about this for your cards, or this if you like the idea, but want to keep your passport and cards in one place.

    However, if you think that having all your ID in one place is a good idea, I don't think you should be on this thread.

    You seem to like analogies, so here's one for you.

    You play your game of Scrabble, win, and at the end you get a trophy. This trophy allows you to draw three random tiles from the bag to enhance any word on the board once per game. You won this by playing many, many games and becoming a very good Scrabble player. It's essentially why you played so much; To get that particular bonus during gameplay.

    Now, one day you return to the same place to play Scrabble, and instead of this Trophy allowing you the benefit you worked very hard for, it now allow you to not wear the Official Club jumper during Club play. You've essentially had your bonus stripped from you because someone else decided it should be so.

    Is it fair?

    Surely using a different formula for a product, but calling it the same thing, is a breach of some trade descriptions regulation?

    I know they used to use Thames water in the London brewery, but that shut down years ago. AFAIK, the Guinness we all get is the same no matter where you buy it. It just doesn't travel well.

    We can protest outside Parliament. We just need to get more than 30 hippies and 10 nerds to do it. Let's see CPS arrest and incarcerate 300,000 citizens for loitering.

    goodluckwiththat, though.

    Did you tell them to sod right off?

    Once 60m UK people tell the phone companies that they don't get to have the ID or the registration for prepay phones, I think they might just put a little pressure on the Government to get this law repealed.

    I understand that our Government is very fluent in the language of currency?

    Why do you need roaming profiles? Do you stay perpetually connected to the same machine? If not, you'll need to turn that shit off.

    I've never understood that either; Why call it ROAMING profiles if it's only of use when you're logging on to the same computer all the time?!

    Probably because dying actually costs something in EVE. Oh, and it's a true free-markey economy. Possibly also because large-scale warfare is truely epic when it happens.

    In a way, Sesame Street is more 'adult' than South Park. Sesame Street teaches kids to count, sing a long to tunes, basic educational needs while being fun and interesting.

    South Park is poop jokes and Jew-hating. [Even if it is hilarious.]
