Well, you could try to find an adapter that lets you change the side the wire comes out on, so you can flip over the tape. I used to have one like this, back before I got a cd player for my car.
You might also look at the fm broadcast type adapters (like this), although in my experience (about 5 years ago), they don't work very well. Maybe they've improved since then.
Didn't Larry Niven already suggest something like this in "A World Out of Time". I seem to remember continent spanning evacuuated tubes in that book.

I was told late yesterday that several people at work were going to dress up, and they wanted to see how many people they could get in costume.
Since I hadn't really thought of a costume this year (no money to spend, no time to work on it), I just threw on my Ren garb. And so far, it's better than anyone else's costume!
"You can not only feel the resulting force, but you can also get a sense of the quality of the object you're feeling -- whether it's soft or hard, wood-like or fleshy."
Anything put onto a web server, that can be accessed from the internet without any security (password, etc), should be considered "in the public". The report was available, even though there weren't links to it.
It'd be like having a store, with a big display covered by a tarp, and no employees around. If someone came into the store and peeked under the tarp, is it Breaking & Entering? I don't think so...
Can I put one of these on one of those old fashion window shades? You know, the kind that rolls up real fast and spins for a few seconds. Very popular in old cartoons.
...the price of tinfoil hats has doubled overnight in response to the news. A foil hat manufacturer, when asked, was quoted as saying "Well, we had to double the price. People gotta protect themselves from those orbiting mind-control lasers, alien mind probes, and now they gotta worry about Israeli scientists drilling holes in their heads!"

It will continuously emit a piercing, deafening alien wail audible dozens of miles away. Railroad crossing accidents will become a thing of the past, because it will be too painful to remain near the tracks as the train approaches.
You're an optimist... I predict lawsuits from grieving parents of Darwinbait.
"B-b-b-but the trains are so loud now, they practically forced Johnny to floor it and drive around the gates at the railroad crossing! When they made new trains that could go twice as fast as the old trains, why couldn't they also make them able to stop faster, too? Waaaah!"
There's a simple solution to that: why not route some of the jet exhaust out of the front of the train. Kind of like a reverse mounted jet engine. Then, when the train needs to stop quickly, the engineer fires up the jet and STOPS.
I was in a secret railroad switch-house last week, and I stumbled upon a locomotive that had been sitting there since 1880. It was fusion powered. The reactor ran on GARBAGE no less! It could levitate and even looked capable of time travel. The security guard who let me in said his only instructions were to wait for a man named "Doc Brown" to show up.
Simple. Have a theater employee sit in a booth above the screen, facing the audience. When the lights go out, he puts on night-scope googles and uses a laser pointer to blind any camera he finds.
Here's a couple of things to think about with this setup:
1: dont use the flash (that's why you use a tripod)
2: set the book up at perpendicular as possible to the camera (to get a nice, flat picture)
3: be quiet (turn the sound off of your camera)
4: Dont get caught
Nothing, just the battery on my new laptop. I found something green and furry in the back of the fridge, and decided to see how long it would support a Quake3 fragfest.
(and you thought lan parties smelled bad after 3 days with no showers...)

I thought you weren't supposed to put aluminum in the microwave...
Well, that just means that the sail will spark madly.

It can be wirelessly connected to your home Internet connection, has a built-in camera and speech recognition software.
Why does the robot need an internet connection? Is it going to go out and surf for Robot Pr0n?

What about all three: Hard, wood-like and fleshy?

Ah, just like in Back to the Future 2?

Which would you rather spend $200 bucks on?
1 million disks * 1000 hours each = 1 billion hours free.
Thats about 10 minutes for everybody on earth.
It should be just enough time to close all the pop-up ads.

Ah, so that's where it ended up.
Just think...when your monitor becomes obsolete (because, for example, you bought a larger, brighter one), you could just eat it. Imagine that!

Do you think one of the new frogs found is the hypno-toad? 'Cause I could really use one of those.
But the flash might disturb other patrons of the library. That's why I suggested the tripod.
