    Yea, but even if there are challenges, the'll be solved in the last 5 minutes by rewiring the espresso machine through the forward deflector array so it can send a $PARTICLE_OF_THE_WEEK stream to solve $PROBLEM_OF_THE_WEEK.

    A funny story along these lines. Years ago, I was an assistant manager for a local autoparts store. Occasionally (couple times a year) some idiot would abandon his car in the lot, take the plates, and never return. One saturday this happened, and I phoned the police. The following conversation took place:

    Me: Hi, someone abandoned a car in our lot

    Cop: Well, the police aren't allowed to tow abandoned cars from private property.

    Me: Oh

    Cop: But, you know, if that car was, say, blocking a lane on Route 9 (4 lane local highway the store was on), we'd have to tow it as a nuisance.

    Me: Er...

    Cop: And its quite a windy day out, sometimes wind moves stuff about...

    Me: Right [Click]

    - few minutes later -

    Me: Hello? you never guess what happened....

    Car was gone in 15 minutes... :)
