alternative: attach a rare earth magnet to the end of a nerf dart and wire a reed switch up to a plate near the alarm clock (bullseye pattern optional). not sure what kind of range you'd get with the added weight of the magnet, but fun nonetheless

what back assward school did you go to growing up where they taught you that the person pointing out the frivolousness of your statement is the one in the wrong?

Hear that? Random Guy On The Internet wants a non-slider phone...quick, fulfill his every wish and desire!

3.6" is nowhere close to honkin huge

i can tell you why your computer doesn't work...it's because you RIPPED THE FUCKING MOTHERBOARD OUT OF THE CASE.

@Dodge2002: That's a completely different marketing plan (not that pennies are being marketed but hopefully you get what I'm saying).
