  1. Re:Subliminal? What about overt? on Konami Slot Machines Flashing Subliminal Messages? · · Score: 1

    By time delay, I'm wondering if a pause is factored in between the reading of areas that a real ticket would have.
    If there's no pause, & it acknowledges theese areas any time they're seen, it might be possible to craft brute force tickets that are just large enough so that the eye in the sky doesn't notice the difference, but still allow more space to print this info.
    If I can print a ticket that's 4 inches long & the scanner only requires 1/16th of an inch worth of information & there's no time delay in the scanning, that's roughly 50 attempts per ticket.
    If I've been in there all day & they watch me rack up a bucket full of tickets, there's no reason for them to look at me funny while I sit there pumping all theese tickets in there.

    How many tickets can I insert at a time before I have to hit the payout button ?
    Do theese machines check for a ticket pattern, only the barcode pattern, is there a time delay ?
    Barcodes are always the same width, but are theese barcodes a constant height or do they vary slightly ?

    This joke works on the same idea.
    Had I joked about a chair, it would've been redundant.
    However, I only refered to the chair as a premise in the title.
    The meat & potatoes which is the actual comment takes the joke a step ahead, therefore it can not be redundant.

    "Multilevel marketing" ? Does that mean 3rd party contractors will be doing the install, who do I go to if my roof starts to leak after the install ?
