The biggest difficulty is making sure random actually is random.
Easy. Have a computer connected to the metal detector instruct security to conduct a check on the next passenger through at random intervals. I honestly don't see why they don't do this already.
...belt pouches are viewed by a great deal of society as a rather "metrosexual" accessory to be lugging around.
Belt pouches aren't viewed as being metrosexual, they are viewed as making you look like a fucking idiot.
Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer are indeed much better, the problem is that the much higher energy density makes them unsuitable for situations where they could possibly be destroyed. That being said, the next gen Prius is reportedly going to use Li batteries to target a fuel efficiency of 90mpg.
If you use Konfabulator on XP, there is a fantastic widget that does this for the W0indows version of iTunes. It has the bonus feature of adding the album art to the songs as well. Link
Last time I touched an ipod you couldn't play music on it that wasn't synced via iTunes. I guess now you can use an ipod like a hard drive and just throw your music on it so it can play! When did that change?
I still fail to understand why anybody puts up with this. It's never happened to me, but if it did I would tell them to stfu. If that fails, I'd demand one of the ushers do something about it and failing that I would demand a refund.
The only way to teach stupid people is to call them on it.
Ian Banks featured something similar to this in one of the Culture novels (I think it was "Look to Windward"). Rather than jet skiing, it consisted of rafting down lava "rapids" in a ceramic raft.
I'd hazard a guess that the main reason for the enemies ramping up with the player is because of the open nature of the game. I've currently put in 10 hours without touching the main story except for the starting tutorial. When I eventually head back to the main arc, it's definitely a good thing that the quests will still provide the same challenge.
I think the reason everyone still seems to use imperial for height is that it's just a lot easier to picture in terms of a largish unit, rather than really large (feet) or really small (cm).

No, that's paying bags of cash to study the blindingly obvious. ;)
Whoosh.
Security through obscurity is no better than having no security at all.
They are a protest when the alternative is buying something that uses Starforce.

This is definitely the case in Western Australia.

The grandparent is also oblivious to the popularity of Lo-Fi bands such as Neutral Milk Hotel (to name a favorite) in indie circles.

In Australia, a drivers license is already considered a legal proof of age ID.
I have the japanese version of Okami. Unless they severely mess up the translation, you're guaranteed to enjoy it.
But if you go to the toilet during the show, you'll miss all the product placement!
Someone want to invent missles that dig through the ground? LOL!
What do you think an antitank landmine is?
He also exposed himself to my neighbour!

The difference being that network addresses are actually easy to translate with a computer.
(why couldn't they have made it run on ethanol, which is so much better for the environment (and your belly))
