Ink is a medium that can be painted with. You can get a bottle of ink, e.g. indian black or any of a myriad different colours. You can even mix colours. chinese calligraphy, pen-and-ink washes etc.
Ink is a favourite of air-brush artists because it has a low viscosity, though some of them have coagulants in it, so you have to be careful not to clog equipment.
You can also get thickeners for ink, so that it can be applied more like a goache or acrylic. can't be used in pens though.
Usually inks are applied like watercolours, layering the transparent colours.
That help?

Centralized tag collection point is bad

Hi all,
as far as I can tell, most of the ppl that want this to be voluntary are suggesting that the hiker carry a tag that they collect from a centralised point (e.g. gate lodges?)
I have a problem with that - that means these collection points have to exist. Hiking areas seem to be very large, and I doubt they all have completely controlled points of entry. the hiker may wish to start at a point off the beaten track, and many are not going to go out of their way to pick up another thing to carry.
So I'm with the ppl who are suggesting having a well-marked radio point e.g. footpad or push-button that the hiker can activate optionally.
This game could easily pay dividends in advertising... "Go find the new coffee flavour at the $tarbucks store".
Great way to get to know a city, though you'd really need to feel secure.
Could also be applied as a Virtual guide for a tourist trail. E.g. Walk around the countryside, get guided to the local stately pile or see if you can spot the rare lesser-spotted trilby in the bird sanctuary...
Apparently, if your credit card has money on it, i.e. not just kept at zero-level, but money on top of that, you can withdraw the money without paying interest on it (you're not borrowing). Also may be a way of getting around atm card charges (again, unconfirmed).
Some women may act like that, but I don't think it's a generalisation you can apply to the whole sex. These days a woman is more likely to be envious of another woman who has money of her own or is a surgeon herself.
Anyway, a woman (any person) who acts as you describe might be a perfect match for someone looking for a mere hood ornament, but they're not going to make much of a life partner if they're always on the lookout for an upgrade.
Hey, come on, "Wives" aren't acquisitions. And a better-looking woman doesn't necessarily make a better wife, ok? Slashdot isn't a male-only community, so have some respect.
What pricks my curiosity is why large cars are such a status symbol. In a city like New York, you have these massive limos that must be impossible to park (I guess that's why you get one with a driver, so they can drive around the block while you entertain yourself). London seems to be riddled with big ol' 4wd monsters that never even see a national route, let alone go off-road. Admittedly the Smart car is a bit uglee, but if you're only going to be averaging 30mph and need to park to a short order, seems a sensible option...

1. I can't BELIEVE how much space you've dedicated to a discussion of how hot the artist's wife is 2. I don't even like star wars but I can see the craftsmanship that went into making the car 3. That car is cool, & an easy reason to approach the modder and engage them in conversation
If the mountain can't approach the chicks, let the chicks approach the mountain.
Unfortunately, the modder-bashers will probs find it easy to "strike" up a conversation too. But with the downforce of the spoilers etc, I'm sure the artist could easily outrun them...
AFAIK, The first reference to "computers" in IT meant the women who programmed the huge machines in ?Blackney? House where the enigma messages were decrypted. Lemme see if I can find a link... look for Eniac here (wired).
This is cool. The tourist map thing is fairly obvious, but you could have a range of different cards in your wallet, that you could swap with relatives/mates etc. The book idea is good, magazines & newspapers on card would also work. Go to the counter in the newsagents and get your choice of reading material uploaded. Etcha-sketch not far off the mark, it could be a sketchpad for your use (probs need some kind of stylus tho, extra parts == bad). Games are always good. You could have a photo album one, put it in the place in your wallet where you keep pics of your loved ones, and it could cycle through - a new pic everytime you open your wallet.
What happens if the uniform gets hacked into, and a tourniquet you didn't need gets applied and your hands and feet drop off? Going the other direction, what happens if the enemy gets vital information back from the uniform. e.g. lots of heartbeats in region x, or indeed great swathes of soldiers have gone null heartbeat in region y after application of enemy weapon z.
Would blackops then be soldiers in the old fashioned uniorms? Or just US Army unplugged.
What would an EM pulse do to the soldiers in the new uniform? Failsafes have to be thunk through.

Take your (digital) evidence, get it signed and timed by a trusted third-party time-stamp service.
That way you can prove the exact digital bits you have in your possession existed at that point in time.
Also good for proving prior art.
