Seriously, I wish more vendors would put "try me"/no-install versions of their apps on their distribution media, so I could use my apps without the bother of installing.

Or as I call it, "the electronic teat".

I believe a single Taser is more cost effective than individual DVD players, especially once you get past 2 kids.
Or you can resort to my technique of "NyQuil" in the juice container...

And I'll use my Video Cell Phone to take a movie of you watching your Camera Cell Phone to watch them
Re:Cell phone TV (Score:3, Funny)
What I'm most worried about is the users of cell phones with TV being allowed on flights. Now I have to spend 5 hours being crushed by the sweaty overweight guy next to me, who's watching King of Queens reruns while giving a play-by-play, complete with guffaws, to his best bud on the other end of the line.
I wonder if I could claim temporary insanity if I were to injure my neighbor in that situation?
John.

You have performed the most pathetic failure at making a joke that I have seen for many months now. It's almost beautiful how completely un-funny your posting is.
(Of course, the actual "funny" part will be when the slash-heads mod your posting up since it has both an SCO "joke" and a patent system "joke" in it.)

Now if you spoke to this guy, you'd never believe he graduated from college, much less got through grad school at the finest institution of higher education in the USA. He actually used that to his advantage. I saw him do this time and time again... he'd slip into the backwards Texas drawl, mess up some word or speech on purpose, and then people would think, "Oh, what a stupid hick." Of course, at this point, they were at his mercy, just like the lady and the vendor in the tale you describe.
Only this guy one-upped your gal and then some. He became President of the United States this way.
Twice.
