I think some lanyard manufacturer made a deal with the establishment to require the students to display their IDs.
The big hit of the week was the caricuttons – full-colored caricatures in pin buttons. Lots of As Walkers went wild over their unique likenesses displayed on their lanyard or their bag. Which brings me to the subject of ID lanyards: most of the students were wearing them. Some say its a form of security.

It’s a matter of time before some Filipino coughs up the USD200,000, gets covered by the local media as the first Filipino in space, proclaimed a hero for sitting on his ass in luxury for a couple of hours, then show up on our movie theaters with a quotation, ‘How hard can it be?’
And with the Forex exchange as it is, this scenario might be sooner than expected.
She was determined to master this intimidating skill, and now she’s quite proud of being able to live in the 21st century.

Indefinitely.
I told her that cautionary tale of the American expat in Singapore, whose boastful email reached his superiors, and got booted out of there.
Mom is now trying to learn MS Word. She is wondering why my brother and I had a hard time figuring all this out before.
This was 5 years ago, when intuitive controls on the pc were just a low priority.
30 minutes later, delivery guy arrives, and brings out this nifty mobile card swiper.
So we ordered a Pizza Hut family feast to get our pizza fix, and the order-taker asked if we would like to pay through credit card. We were intrigued with the idea, and we also wanted to increase our points, so we agreed.
30 minutes later, delivery guy arrives, and brings out this nifty mobile card swiper. He got a signal; transaction over within minutes .
Or so we thought.
A few hours later, same guy drives back, and asks for our credit card number. Seems the mobile card swiper failed to print out the necessary number of receipt copies. Or he switched his copy of the receipt with our. He starts asking for our card number.
To me, this started to sound like the long road to identity theft, so I refused.
The incident was resolved to my preference an hour later, but I don’t think I’ll be paying for my delivered pizza with a credit card anytime soon .
Maybe way, wayyyyy after they work out the kinks in their system.
