Mod rahvin112 up insightful! I read about half the WoT books, and I couldn't agree more with every line of that comment.
Side-note: For those into fantasy- Terry Goodkind is a much better author than Robert Jordan, Tolkien, and whoever wrote harry potter. I won't even bother wiki-ing twilight to find out who the author of that abomination is, but at least it won't eat up as much time as WoT.

Or maybe show that just ties up loose ends, and follows up with SG1s previous encounters. Call it Stargate SG-3. Just don't ask about what happened to SG-2, they got into a bit of a scuff with the Furlings...there was cheesecake and porkchops everywhere!

In looking for this form... an example from the armpit of the USA.

Following is a general list of claims which can be filed in Small Claims:
* Breach of a written or oral contract.
* Damage to or loss of property.
* Consumer complaints for defective merchandise or faulty workmanship.

Class action suits are so disappointing. The recent comcast case in point. I had to deal with comcast throttling for months, troubleshooting my connection, getting stonewalled by tech support. Its a slap in the face to be offered $16 for the months my service was limited.

Back on topic, if that happens the victims can get a few dollars per phone while the lawyers get millions. I'd be interested to know if the small claims court theory holds any water. (never BT or DT) It just seems like its too simple, and the legal system is anything but simple.

If its reversible with a JTAG, the phone will still get hacked, just more time and materials needed.
Solution:Patience - Don't buy it until someone else does all the hard work.

It looks like he puked rainbow colored bricks into the walls. Any self respecting lego maniac would have color coded it to match the existing materials. And common; "...The approach favored function over appearance..." How are these walls more functional? Did he build secret compartments into them? Is there something going on beneath the surface with lego mindstorms and underpants gnomes?

Parting thoughts: How does he secure the legos? Glue? Does he cut the lego pieces, or chisel away the wall to provide a flatter surface?

The story about the kid who builds lego guns is much more interesting than some "artist" who "repairs" walls with legos.

Comment carabiner (Score 1) 763

I use a modular system by use of a carabiner. Take off what I need, leave the rest somewhere accessible (like a backpack, glovebox, desk drawer, nightstand).
The modules on it are:

1) Motorcycle, Garage, Yard Gate
2) My house, crawlspace, shed
3) Parents house indoor & outdoor
4) Car + a ~dozen keychain consumer cards
5) Work keys + 2 factor id token
6) Karate Dojo key, bicycle lock
7) Parent's vehicle

I usually dont need more than 2 pairs of keys at a time, (vehicle and destination). Its not perfect, but I'm not sure whats more annoying, not having a key when I need it, or having a huge bulge in my pocket stab me in the leg constantly. Its still not as annoying as my girlfriend's yawara/Kubotan keychain ...
