Comment Re:Why is that legal? (Score 1) 520

Good brief. You're wrong. That's a BARCODE not a serial number. All barcodes are identical across all Wiis, and therefore worthless for identifying individual machines.

Bzzt. All Nintendo consoles have a window in the box for scanning the actual serial number of said console. This is what he was talking about scanning.

FYI, back in the day when I called Nintendo up to replace our launch GameCube, they were able to tell me exactly where the GameCube was bought, and verify it was still under warranty, with no need for me to provide a receipt.

This system is now used also for Xbox 360s and PS3s, but the entire system was invented by Nintendo.

Comment Re:Treadmill?!! (Score 1) 408

I have plenty of ground, parks, etc here. But I also have a treadmill, because:

* Treadmill lets me run without having to have a shirt on
* I can listen to music without having to worry about cars/dogs/other people trying to shiv me
* Omaha is way too hilly so the treadmill provides a nice even consistent flat ground so I can worry more about running than hill climbing

It really shouldn't matter how someone is running, as long as they are running.

Comment Re:Many libraries routinely delete information (Score 1) 144

The library I worked at in 2005 made a policy of deleting all records after a year and did not keep check out histories, you could only show up as a "previous borrower" of a book (which got deleted after a year). The only way a book stayed attached to the account is if you had an overdue fee on it or you reported it as lost.

Or instead of gender, classify by weight and power (I guess how much force someone can extert with their arms or legs).

That way in the 100m dash, we can have the Featherweight class, the Welterweight class, the Heavyweight class and the Usain Bolt class (which only has Usain Bolt in it).
