This is why we can't have nice things.
Don't forget Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I'm still trying to forget that.
Yep, that was a stinker. I managed to avoid it. Learned my lesson from Last Crusade.
Crystal Skull made Last Crusade look good. At least it had a damned Zeppelin in it.

Do you want to have puns? Because this is how you get puns!
No hacker, no cry.
I remember when we used to sit
In the IRC channel in Trenchtown, yeah...

So now you know why they don't put telephony capability into tablets - people won't buy both a smartphone and a tablet, but opt for just one of the two.
That might depend on how you define people. Nobody who takes themselves seriously is going to use an iPad as a phone in public.

As your employer, I'd like to see your randomly drawn ID, you know, to verify that you really voted during the two hours you were off.
Exactly, thats often how "voting" is managed in puppet "democracies".
I recall a dinner party in 1987 in Jakarta where one of the American oil industry workers described how the "voting" was handled in his office. (Note that I'm not picking on Indonesia here, this is just where my experience lies, and hopefully the system from the dark days of the dictatorship is a thing of the past.)
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
