I just bought an SD card and I had to fight for 10 minutes with the plastic packaging. Now my hands are all cut up. I hate this sh|t. :|

Those things kick ass.....

Seriosuly though ,they do it to prevent theieves from getting to the security mag strips while in view....that means A, they have to pull out scissors and draw attention or rip them to threads, and once again call attention to themselves....


Works like a charm, but makes life hell for legitimate customers...The price you have to pay for freedom😛
 
U gotta use shears (short, powerful scissor looking thingies), not scissors to get into things like that.
 
A sharpened 4" knife makes short work of them.

However, I DESPISE the AMD blisterpacks that they used for awhile. They often led to damage of the damned CPUs getting them unpacked. Thank GOD they went back to cardboard boxes.
 
Yeah, my graphing calculator came packed like that. Had to practically destroy the plastic package before I could get it out

:Q:Q

they said those wouldn't be out until Q4 of 2006!

they are prototypes that were sneaked out of Vavle's servers using a 33.6 modem.....

Does anybody know if that's their final design? Or are they still working on different possibilities? Can we get this confirmed?
