I wish there was a server with permadeath and you were on there. And while you were complaining on why this wasn't a Permadeath PVP server--I would gank you in the back.
YuGiOh has that crap in the Anime... Oh how I loathe YGO... Damn kids coming in and stealing the cards from the display.
But no, we can't lock them up. Why use the big-empty case where our stock of PS3 stuff was for securing something. Heavens no.
But back on topic... yes. This is entirely possible. Surface can read small barcodes (both 1D and 2D) so just stick a barcode on the back of each card and there you go. Done and done.
But considering that the MP3 player is all about random music playing, and the files are quite small, not to mention that it could greatly benefit from the reduced power consumption.
You obviously haven't gotten out of your parents basement, so we know you haven't gotten laid. Therefore, we know you don't have any kids. As such, you have no idea what its like to be at your wits end in the grocery store with your children.
Let me put it in terms that you would understand.
Imagine that you've stayed up for 4 months straight coding some program--but every time it starts to work, it changes and you have to change your code all over again. Then imagine that every time you tried to sleep, your compile failed and you have to sit up all night making sure that it compiles okay. All the while you are running all over the basement to make sure that none of your other compilers are failing either, and lifting them up and down to change out their power supplies.
Got that? Okay. Good. Now imagine that you just want to go to Microcenter to pick up some more Bawls but your laptop is SCREAMING at the top of it's 2" speakers that it wants Serial-ATA. You know that it doesn't use Serial-ATA, but it is just making all kinds of noise, and shaking. Then other people start to look at you and your laptop making such a cacophony, and your bloodshot eyes just roam over them like they are zombies and you are three seconds away from killing everybody within a 50' radius of you.
Oh, and this happens every single time you go to the store. Like clockwork.
You will cave in. You don't know you will, but trust me--and every other parent out there--you will cave, and buy it whatever it wants to just shut it up.
So Yeah. There is no 'Just don't buy it' crap with kids. Someday, if you ever get out of your parents basement, you will know that.
Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Dr. Peter Venkman: What? Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams. Dr. Peter Venkman: Why? Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad. Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"? Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal. Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
ThinkPads have always been 'business class' machines. Or, what they really are, 'VP Class Machines' which means...
You can throw them in a bag (from being turned on all night working on a presentation) and then check them into your baggage, have the baggage claim people beat the snot out of them, you drag your computer on the ground with some actually luggable luggage and bash them into the back of a cab, up 14 flights of stairs banging it on each step on the way, then throw it down on the expensive mahogany table and open it up and...
The damn thing still works.
IBM doesn't make the most cutting edge stuff. They make the most cost-effective, durable, laptops out there. I don't care about that so-called 'rugged' PC from Toshiba. No VP is going to take that ugly pile to a conference. But an IBM with it's matte black exterior and classic looks, not to mention it matches their suit, they will pick over and over again.
I have used the new T61 laptops as well--and besides being as heavy as a brick--they are quite the little powerhouses. Ubuntu runs on them just dandy, all the hardware detected upon install.
Your Air? Yeah. It looks pretty, but I guarantee that thing will break within a day of giving it to a VP. It would maybe last 15 seconds going through ATL on the way to ORD through CLE. The design of the Air--to me--just screams cheap and flimsy. Pretty, but flimsy.
I have no problem with PR at all, whatsoever. It wasn't a personal dig at the territory nor the people in it. I was simply pointing out that it isn't a state but a territory as the parent post indicated it was. Which is why they used mainland, even though the USA owns PR.
As another poster attempted to prove me wrong, AK and HI are also not part of the 'mainland' but they are indeed states.
I bought the first Gameboy, and I still have it to this very day. I bought the external battery pack (filled with 4xC NiCad) and the carrying case that looked like a gigantic Gameboy.
It still works. All of it. I have had to replace the batteries in the external battery pack, but that is it. I mean, the damn thing is almost 20 years old. It still turns on just fine.
Also, the guys with the blowing in cartridges and stuff... Well, if you didin't carry the thing in your pocket like a goober then you woulden't have to do that. Mine works, and it has been sitting on my shelf for the last 10 years.
I just pulled it out of the plastic bag, put some batteries in it, and stuck in both Quarth and RC Pro Am into it. No corrupted graphics at all.
Sure they are toys. But they are also MY toys. I want them to work. I have all my consoles, and they all still work. Even the Virtualboy... Which was a good idea, but just failed in the execution.
Nintendo knows its market. They realized that kids are a lot harder on consoles than adults--and their market is kids. So, all of their stuff is remarkably hardy. Except for the Virtualboy. That thing broke if you dropped it hard enough. Well, it did have rotating mirrors... Lets not mention the VB again, shall we?
Aside from the fact that his webs breakdown within an hour, but you would be surprised how many people don't get hit for littering.
I was outside Nathans a couple weeks ago, and this guy from "Fuggin Brooklyn, and 'm fugging hungry!" (his words, not mine) was eating 4 with everything on it, and one of NYC's finest was standing next to a garbage can, just watching the people. The guy from Brooklyn stood up, and literally tossed his boxes and paper on the ground, and walked right past the cop. The cop saw the whole thing, but did nothing.
My cellphone acts like a modem--I've used it like one in the past where I needed to fax something for some reason or another. That is the only time I could have used a POTS line. But now I hear that you can fax through your VOIP if they have it set up correctly.
If there is a power outage, I just light some candles and sit tight.
Please enlighten me on what other uses a POTS line has, if I have a cellphone and the Internet.
There are three ingredients on the back of my Vanilla: Cream, Sucrose (sugar) and Vanilla.
Or, make it yourself as you stated. Buy a good quality ice cream maker, and go nuts. One with a freezable core is better than the ice and rock salt mixture. And the best part: You can make whatever flavors you want.

They tried the 'Run as Administrator' thing with Vista. It sucks.
You get spyware and crap TELLING you to click on the prompts--and people blindly follow it. Why? They don't know any better.
"For your Free iPod, click the Accept button, and then on the Allow Program dialog."
So, your logic fails.
The problem is that you don't have to click 'willy-nilly' on anything for most of these things to get into your computer.
The final word is that most people are connected directly to the internet without any firewall or anything else between them and the unwashed masses.

Umm... Gmail lets you use IMAP from their own servers. So, it would be your own client. On your own computer.
I'm failing to see how this is insecure.

And since 5.0 introduced WDE for Windows machines, it is a viable alternative for PGP on the homefront.
Unless people can tell me reasons otherwise.

As another poster attempted to prove me wrong, AK and HI are also not part of the 'mainland' but they are indeed states.
No. Alaska and Hawaii both have stars on the flag. Or did you miss that in your haste to try and correct me?
Both AK and HI are states in the USA. Even though they are not attached to the mainland, they are still part of the USA because they are a state.
PR is not part of the USA. It is a territory that the US owns.
It is not a state. Therefore, it not part of the United States of America. That is why they said 'mainland' because that is what the USA is to PR.
If you are going to be a prick, at least be correct about it.

Why not just click on the link?
Seriously. I would like to know, how copy&paste is faster/better than just clicking on the link.
Because Yahoo or Google isn't doing all of these things already?

This raises a good question: If you saw your death, in every way possible, woulden't that make it impossible to die?
Observing changes the outcome. By observing all outcomes, there is nothing left to change into. Ergo, no way to die?
Oh how I wait for this to be reality. My dual 8800GTX cards want to be in Linux all the time, but sadly there is no way to run it without Windows.
You sir, pwn.
Been there, done that. Every ultra-portable IBM makes doesn't have any.
Old hat, my friend.
Shitty is defined as "Shit like" or "All of the qualities of shit".
Shit is defined as "Excrement" or "The waste product of living organisms".
I would have to agree with the OP statement of "Ford cars are shitty"... At least from a legal sense of the word.
