Why not skip debit cards altogether, and just package a DIY RFID chip kit, or a biometric fingerprint reader?

I came across this fascinating site that has helpful advice in determining sentencing for convited felons.
You can play at home with the cool score cards and grids. Then download the PDF of an alphabetized list of crimes. It's like Vice City without the joystick.
Note: works best in Explorer.

The winner of this week's "Hoosier Millionaire" game show died after being hit by a pickup truck just hours after the show's taping, authorities said Friday.
Carl D. Atwood, 73, won $57,000 on Thursday during a taping of the television game show in Indianapolis, Hoosier Lottery Director Jack Ross said.

After the two-hour taping, which will air tonight, Atwood returned to his hometown of Elwood with the check, Ross said.
About 7 p.m., Atwood was crossing Main Street a block from his home -- on his way to the grocery store where he had bought the ticket that got him on the show -- when a black pickup rounded a corner and struck him, said Elwood Police Chief Toby R. Barker.

Okay, this game makes rock, scissors, paper look like some sort of super brainy 4-D chess game; like the kind you'd see Spock kickin' ass on in Star Trek. Basically you take two plastic keys, insert them into each other and twist until one breaks. Buy another key, repeat until your knuckles are inflamed with arthritis.

Atari 2600. Wood cases. From Wisconsin. Geek nirvana?
A graphic designer at Jim Greeley Sign and Awning in Richland Center, Wisconsin, Heckendorn builds the units on lunch breaks. Each one costs him about $200 in parts and 10 hours of labor. He uses the company's tool shop (with the boss's blessing), routing and cutting out cases from solid plastic and oak.

"The key to my win was maintaining a clear mind before each throw, and judging each opponent individually," said Mr. Lovering, 2002 International World Rock Paper Scissors Champion.

An online safe sex game featuring saucy sound effects and street slang has introduced more than tens of thousands of young people to safe sex facts that they might otherwise be unaware of, a British charity said on Monday.
That's the news article, SuperShagLand.com is the game.

A California congressman wants to make it a federal crime to rent or sell video games showing violence, prostitution and drug use to anyone under the age of 17 without parental consent.
Co-signed by 21 members of the House of Representatives, it covers eight kinds of explicit in-game depictions, including scenes of:
- decapitation and dismemberment,
- murder,
- car jackings,
- illegal drug use,
- rape,
- prostitution,
- assault and other violent crimes.
...uhmm, so that basically leaves me with Mario Karts or Britney's Dance Beat.

 I am a Pacman Ghost.I like to hang around with friends, chatting, dancing, all that sort of thing. We don't appreciate outsiders, and do our best to discourage others approaching us. I enjoy occasionally wandering around randomly, and often find that when I do so, I get to where I wanted to be. What Video Game Character Are You? |

Xbox (Microsoft's answer to PS2), was of course one of the "hot" gifts this season. Lisa's brother (and house 8 frequenter; Hi Jim!) Jim got one from his brother, Arn, for Christmas. I don't know about the other titles for this system, but Halo is a pretty damn cool game.
However, in yet another of its now patented "Screw You Mindless Consumer!"TM moves, Microsoft requires you to purchase a silly little adapter and a remote to play DVDs on the darned thing. WHAT?!?
According to Microsoft:
TheXbox DVD Movie Playback Kit is a quick way to expand the functionality of the best gaming machine around! Xbox requires this kit to enable DVD movie playback. Simply plug in the infrared receiver to a controller port and use the remote control designed for DVD movie playback. No messy cables or confusing game controllers to deal with!
Well thank Kee-rist for that! What on EARTH would the mere recreational, or even serious, gamer do if they had to contend with "messy cables" or "confusing controllers" to play a movie. (Have you seen the Xbox controller? They're willing to admit that their controller is "confusing" in order to sell you more crap.) A much better solution is obvious: You part with $30 to buy an infrared doohickey and an otherwise useless remote just so you can have the $300 machine do what it's already capable of.

More proof that an all-seafood diet will destroy brain cells, the Japanese have created a spanking video game. There's also an article about it at Wired magazine.

Most everybody has had a character come in contact with a person of the opposite sex, but the encounter was nothing more than the brief statement: "I'll have sex with the fair lass and leave". This leaves out a lot of exciting role playing that can turn into a lot of humorous anecdotes. What if one of the involved people can't "perform"? What about getting a disease? Getting pregnant? Spells? Magic-Items? Classes? But where could a player find a could source of information?
On a RPG discussion list (an electronic mail forum for RPGs), a person posted rules for characters to have sex. I though that this wasquite clever and a little demented. Well, just having a few sex rulesdidn't seem to useful except for its comic appeal so I made somediseases and insanities to make it more interesting.
I've been noticing that analog RPGs, like D&D, have been making a comeback lately. I find Captain Cursor's take on D&D quite funny:
So I've been puttering around lately and trying to rediscover an old geeky hobby of mine. Dungeons and Dragons. I've formed a group amongst my peers to start up a campaign. We're all a bit too excited by it. I've been saying that it's now the best of all worlds for us. We can now play D&D, just like we did in junior high, but now we can drink beer, and we have beautiful girls that hang around us that let us touch their goodies. What more could geek want out of life?
Just the other day, my friend Doug proudly showed me a duffle bag full of D&D playbooks and paraphernalia that his parents unloaded on him. What's going on here?

If you find yourself sent back in time to the 1980s and need to kill time until Street Fighter II is invented, you could play Urban Champion instead. Then again, you could also lick a piece of poop.

It's one thing to dare the world to solve your puzzle.
It's another to have to sell your castle to make good on the £1 million prize.
Speaking of which, here's the puzzle they're talking about and some other cool shit.
