    I was at a Stargate con in London back in 2006, and our tickets had a barcode on them that you swiped every time you went in or out of the building.

    Needless to say, it hardly worked in the way it was intended to.

        I'm all for technology streamlining the convention entry process, but on the other hand sometimes the old ways are better.

        Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
        To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

        Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
        And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

          Could be worse. They could force people to have bar code tattoos.

            I used to work with a girl who had the barcode for her favourite beer tattooed on the back of her neck.

                  Agreed. Especially when you have way more qualifications than what they’re asking.

                    People who drive 15 miles BELOW the limit; I have as working speed sensor now, I got it repaired, so now I know how fast the idiot in front of me slowing down all traffic is really going. 40 in a 55 zone SPEED UP BUDDY!

                    But he wont speed up, so rather then me getting honked at I try to get as far to the side as I can so the people backing up behind me can see that I'm not the reason for the backup in traffic

                      This is actually a serious problem, very often the cause of road rage.

                      What they ought to do is require that drivers pull over and allow faster traffic to pass them upon request with flashing the headlights being the signal.

                        or just get the US version of the Autobahn built already

                        it is said the one in Germany has 3 lanes...fast...faster...and "there's a Kraken behind me!"

                          My own clumsiness.

                          Last night, I phoned in an order to the local fish and chip shop, and in my haste to open the front door to the delivery guy when he showed up, I somehow walloped my head off it.

                            They built that 50 years ago.. It's called the Interstate Highway System.

                            It's not a matter of the roadway, it's the skill of the people using. Or driver training system sucks. Basically, if you have a pulse, you qualify.

                            They'll never fix it though.. You see, the bureaucrats who write the regulations couldn't pass a real driving skills test to save their arse.

                              Nothing annoys me more than slime drivers going under the limit in the fast lane. How they not realize they shouldn't be there after 6 cars passing them from the right is beyond me.

                              I got to say though, I've never seen crazier drivers than the taxis I took in Manhattan when I visited NYC. It is chaos. Pure Chaos. Our cab driver was swerving left and right, passing people over while taking a right turn and texting all the while.
                              Spoiler:
                              I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.
