Would a layer of aluminum foil around the outside of a wallet prevent any CC RFIDs from being scanned while the wallet is closed?

Why not forgo the A/C and utilize the battery life for driving? Why are most people so dependent on A/C?

I imagine cars didn't always have A/C, and human civilization managed to survive for a long time without it.

I never said the word is offensive. I am also white, and I'd also feel zero offense being called a honkey. I think it is just poor taste for the article.

Indeed, in most circles, it is a racially charged word. Just check http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=honkey for confirmation.

Maybe I just don't have much of a sense of humor, but I didn't find the racial comments in the article to be humorous in the least bit. Do they really add anything?

Aww. My first post on Slashdot, and it has a typo. I guess I should pay attention to the preview from now on.

It was a Puerto Rican neighborhood... [people] eyed us three honkeys questioningly.

Why does he feel the need to refer to his friends and himself with such a racially charged word as "hokeys"?
