I find it odd that there are people who feel more safe when they take off their shoes. Whenever I've gone somewhere where they pat me down and check me with a metal detector wand, it makes me feel like someone is going to shoot me inside there. I feel more vulnerable.

I recently went to a rollerskating rink where I was wanded and patted down by a police officer. Of course he didn't even check my skates which has more than enough room for a hand gun. Metal detector and pat down at a skate rink, perhaps I shouldn't be here. Did I feel safe there? Not at all, it did the opposite.

Ink is not toner. Your ink jet will lose it's ink it evaporates or something. If you got a laser printer instead of a ink jet, your toner will last a long time, toner is not liquid ink.

I to had once thought of that. This idea is the same for TV shows. They have been putting product placement in TV shows. The main character is holding a can of coke for example, or there are some donuts in the background. It isn't that much of a distraction.

If advertising starts being required for games and TV shows this limits the types of shows and games you can have.

For example, it would very wrong to have the captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek to hold a can of coke. Since that is the case, what might happen is simply we would never get any shows/games were it wouldn't be appropriate to have ads.

Developer: "Here is a good idea for a game..."
Business dude: "Does the setting allow for good ad placement?"
Developer: "No"
Business dude: "Then come up with a different idea."

Seriously, no one like shopping at grocery stores. Shopping for cloths yes, but groceries you must be kidding. You can get pizza delivered in most cities and towns. We should be able to get our groceries delivered as well. Delivered within 20 minutes of ordering, just like pizza's. It is almost impossible to do grocery shopping over the phone, but is is possible to do it on the internet. While you are shopping on the internet it can even offer helpful suggestions: recipes (as well as links to the ingredients), list of what you bought last time, etc..
