    Scary story: I was listening to the radio and there was an ad for yahoo homepage, and they claimed that you should use their service because they have "search as you type". Apparently they didn't realize google has this too?

    yes, when they see a huge spike in power they just use their locally sourced walking house to move out of the way. I'm sure this thing can book it once all that tsunami created electricity comes in from their wave generators.

    I don't mind serial keys because they can help guarantee that only people who bought the game are playing online and whatnot.

    Paradox Interactive, who publishes historical strategy games (which also happen to be my favorite series of games ever), doesn't even make you put in a serial. But if you want to play online on their servers, or want technical support, you have to register your serial. To me, that's perfect.

    alright lol. What about inside a stapler. Surely they don't open your bag and proceed to dismantle all objects down to their constituent parts. Inside a usb mouse. There's tons of empty room, and all you need is a phillips screw driver. What about one of those rolls of quarters in paper. Slip it between two quarters. Inside a keyboard. Inside speakers. Inside a graphing calculator, or better yet, a 4 function calculator. They can't possible take a apart all of these things, and an x ray wouldn't notice a micro sd card inside a stapler or mouse, where plenty of other electronics are there too.

    If the zipper in my pants doesn't set off a metal detector, would a micro sd card?

    I'm just saying, there's got to be limitless amounts of places you could hide something that small.

    you can hide the micro sd card in your cell phone behind the battery, or inside the laptop, where even Mr. Xray wont notice it. There are a lot of un exciting places to hide that most tiny of cards without raising even the slightest suspicion

  16. Reasonable solution on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 1

    Ok, assuming you're not on the radar of the government, all you have to do is fool them into thinking you're a normal person.

    Why not do one of the following?

    1. Create a linux boot partition, but have grub not give you any time to choose (or to even see, on the screen, that grub is there) Your ext3 partitions wont show up on the windows side, and the airport guy will be none the wiser.

    2. insert a micro sd card into your watch (there's room), or into a cell phone, behind the battery, or any number of nonchalant places of no interest to the airport guys. 3. Create a spanned rar file and rename each file to not have an extension and to have an ordered but uninteresting name. Count them down from 100 or something. And then disperse them into at least 3 folders, like system32 and other random places. Just remember what you ordering system is and where you put them! =p Hell, a single obfuscated zip file isn't going to set off any alarms with the TSA guys.

    As long as your computer looks normal, they're not going to be as paranoid as you in figuring out where your stolen movies, music, games, enterprise software, and most importantly your porn, are at.

    No need for outlandish encryption schemes. Old fashioned "walk out of the store looking like you own it" mentality is all you need.
