Now they have "Hold for Pickup" and they'll hold it for 5 days. I've never used it though. In the past I had to wait for them to try to deliver it for 3 days then they would hold it at the depot and I could pick it up. Like a lot of people, I'm at work during the day, so there was no possible way for me to be at home for deliveries.

Once UPS actually let me intercept a package at a distribution hub in Massachusetts. I was pretty surprised they allowed it. (it was post-9/11) I waited around until it got scanned coming off a truck, and they gave it to me right there.

I'm pretty sure most, if not all, digital cameras can see the IR from a LED like your TV remote. The iPhone camera can, which accounts for a lot of cameras out there. So no, they don't work at the same wavelength as the human eye. A wall of powerful IR LEDs might be able to affect photo quality. And the wavelengths a conventional camera is sensitive to depends on the film. You can get infrared film for cameras.

If I get 99 out of 100 achievements, it's not like I'd feel guilty for cheating on the last one if it's something I would never complete otherwise. I just like to see them all completed. And maybe something happens when they're all complete. As for multiplayer, I'm very much against cheating if it affects other players.

The *potential* damage could be a few hundred dead people at the end of a runway. It's not that they're damaging to the eye, they're distracting. When cats start flying aircraft, maybe people will be prosecuted.

Check out the gifs on this page.. I definitely wouldn't want to try landing a plane in that situation.
