Haha, I am glad someone understood it :)

Not to store license plate data. You know, just like the TSA promised it wouldn't store pictures it took with it's body scanner.

I would need one for the mouse, because track pads are no good for gaming.
I would need one for the keyboard, because laptop keyboards are too cramped.
I would need one for a webcam, because the webcams that come with laptops are too low quality for my standards.
I would need one for an external DVD/Blu-ray combo burner since laptop optical drives are cheap.
I would need one for an external hard drive since laptop hard drives are too small.
I would need a jack for speakers, since laptop speakers are terrible.
I would also need HDMI, because laptop monitors are way too small.

That's ridiculous, to think I would vote for someone because of their sex! I am going to vote for Hillary because she's white, of course.

It just takes a slight shift of power, or one small mistake, for one player to get momentum and end up with the majority of pieces.

I always liked the Shogi variant of chess. Other than a slightly larger board (9x9), and a few more pieces (20), you also have unit promotions, and deployment of captured pieces. The deployment of captured pieces especially keeps the late game from becoming simplified.

Social networks don't turn people in to narcissistic pricks, it feeds on the fact that most people already are.

Eh, it's far more likely that these are pre-existing genes getting switched on or off as opposed to new ones being generated via mutation.
