That's a bad idea. Control the lights and whatnot within WoW, and you'll end up wiping your raid because instead of healing the main tank, you turned off the kitchen light.
> nobody who I could talk to has ever stolen an epic or blue item.
You're lucky.
I equate Scarlet Monastery to ninjaing because someone always manages to ninja something in SM when I'm in group (and most of the time, it's an item that we all agreed I'd get)
> I personally tend to look at the structure, rather than the context.
Begging your pardon, but that is how I think. But obviously there are those who disagree with our lines of thinking. Otherwise this patent would never have been filed.
But the main difference is - and yes, it IS nitpicking - is that the patent is for System and method for obtaining information relating to an item of commerce using a portable imaging device. Fedex, DHL, and UPS have a System and method for obtaining and relaying information relating to a shipment using a portable imaging device.
Some guy crossed the border at a non-border crossing a month or so ago, up into Manitoba. He was denied legal entry because of a prior conviction. He was coming up to Canada to meet with a net-girlfriend.
He damn near froze to death.

Kinda ironic, the story icon...
FFIV Advance for the win.
CU made a lot of classes "redundant". They're now cleaning up that redundancy.
HAY FriedSquid! I remember you :-p

His was the one ship shop I'd send people to ^^;
I think he was one of the top 4 ship shops on Ahazi.
But we subscribers can't comment till the story is posted "for real".
Considering the available facts, I betcha he typed it in Notepad and waited for "the mysterious future" to become "now".
In the USA perhaps. Every library I've been to has used Dewey decimal system.
It's not easy to build a laptop from scratch, yaknow.
Doesn't mean they can't make our lives easier while they're at it.
Considering the state this concerns, a better quote would be:

Guess I'm not the only one who misread it as Sailor Moon.... heh
Problem is, things like "market research" gets in the way of things like that.
"People" want a phone that checks their e-mail, checks their websites, checks their blood pressure and checks their oil, all at a touch of a button.
Oh, and full polyphonic and mp3 ringtones.
I claim prior art more prior than yours. My Grandma's been using this method since the early 1920s.
(OK, to whoever modded me "redundant", check the timestamps. Mine was posted first.)
Oh yay.
Jar-Jar in even MORE 3d.
In context, it's on-topic....
Honestly. Mod the comment, not the user.

I'll betcha a buck it'd last about 30 seconds.
Yeah, I can see it now on the front page:
Linux-on-a-dart!
This is an outrage!
I'm gonna be complaining in my blog about THIS one!
> MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux
umm... yeah. BIG SURPRISE, FOLKS.
