I got my driving licence nearly 10 years ago, and despite the fact I’m 28 this year, I still get asked for ID all the time when I go out because I look pretty young. How do I get a little credit card stylee photo ID (I only have A4 paperwork at the moment), and how much will it cost?
Thank you!
If you have an old style driving licence, then you should be able to obtain a photo licence for free.
You should obtain a photo from one of the photo kiosks at your local supermarket, or send a recent photo (head and shoulders only). You will need to have the photo certified by somone who has known you for at lease 2 years. This could be your local Postmaster, Doctor, Dentist, Optician, anyone in authority or professional status. You can obtain a form to send off from your local Post Office or download a form from the DVLA website. The DVLA will then send you a photo licence and this will also be your ID for future use.

I need government proof of photo ID for a disclosure so i can get a job, i need it by the end of the week. I have no form of ID apparent from my birth certificate and national insurance card.
Some banks offer a photo id credit card. Perhaps that might be a simple way. Either that or apply for a passport even if you are not intending to travel.

I can’t find anything on headphones that have one wire longer than the other so that they can go around the back of the neck.
Does anyone know what the headphones are called?
The ones that don’t go inside the ear with a funny rubber bit on the end, but ones that just sit inside the ear
Also, what UK website can i get them from?
Does anyone know……….this has had me looking on google and other company sites for hours trying to find the right ones
I know that they arn’t called lanyard headphones because i don’t want the ones that have rope/string around the neck, just wire
Thanks, if you can help
Ben
they are called zune head phones
these suckers have magnets at the end of them so that they stay together
easier to walk around with
i do that all the time too with them around my neck with zune headphones
they cost about 25$ at bestbuy or future shop wall mart would have them too

I’m trying to get a copy of my W-2 online with adp but I need my employee identification number, not employer number, but my own id number, without my checkstub? Where can I get that info?
If your employee ID number isn’t your SSN, you’ll have to ask at your job what it is. If it’s not your SSN, maybe it’s on one of your pay stubs.

I don’t own a printer, which is stupid of me. I emailed the confirmation page to myself, just in case, but I was wondering if I have to print it out in order to get the boarding pass. Am I all right showing my ID at the ticket counter? Or should I write down all the page info, so I can tell them the ticket number and all of that?
Driving is so much easier.
You just need to show your ID. You do need to know your flight number, or at least the time of departure if it is not a very large airport.
It would not be a bad idea if you wrote down the confirmation number.
It’s also good to bring a major credit card. The automated check in machines can read your name off the card and look up your flight from that (doesn’t charge anything to the card; just reads your name off the magnetic stripe on the back). You’re probably bringing a credit card anyway.

If every individual recieving any government benifit is given a national ID complete with fingerprints (snce they can’t be forged) and ID must be verified in person every 3 months to continue benifits, would this help eliminate the amount of $$ that is stolen from the taxpayers every year?
I suppose every bit helps. It would help control some that’s done by maintaining different identities in different states. But the task of verification every three months would be far more trouble than its worth and would probably be completely impractical.

I have a emahcines with a 250w power supply computer here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9999111700050017&st=emachines&lp=4&type=product&cp=1&id=pcmprd111800050017
and i was wondering what good 512mb video card could i get without upgrading or changing the power supply. maybe a video card that could run cod4 and crysis no problem.
Thank you very much
According to the specs for that system at BestBuy, your Emachines has an available PCIExpress 16x slot for graphics cards.
For a 250-watt power supply, I recommend sticking with a graphics card that draws under 75 watts of electrical power. That means either the nVidia 9500GT or the ATI Radeon HD4670.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to use an Indian Status card as photo ID to purchase alcohol at a liquor store? I mean it has Photo ID, your name, and your birthday, and I’m pretty sure it’s sanctioned by the government.
If not, what if your combined it with say your Birth Certificate?
Yes an Indian Status Certificate can be used as proof of age to purchase Alcohol.

I am looking for a case for my IPod 30mb which incorporates a lanyard so it will hang round my neck. I don’t always wear things with a belt and find that it falls out of my pocket when I am in the garden. I’ve tried tucking it down my bra ( as a 50 year old – I’m not too concerned about style) but thats not a perfect solution.
Serious answers only please!
You can buy an ipod wristband which holds the ipod and then you simply put it round your wrist. These only cost around £10-£20 in shops however if you looked on ebay you probably buy one much more cheaply.
However if you are looking to put it around your neck then you can always buy a plastic case which often has a little hole on the side to put a piece of string or ribbon through so you can put it round your neck. I have one and i have found it rather helpful.

I heard that all new passports have this RFID chips in them and they can track you from this chip.
Also, the National ID’s are supposed to be in the works this year. Again, with an RFID Chip.
The conspricay theorist say that in the future they are going to chip all products in stores and all money so they will know exaclty how much money you have and what you bought.
Are people willing to give up there privacy for so call "security"?
The passport chips and the national ID card are very true and in the process. The new passports definately have the chip that I have saw myself on a friends that just got one to go on a cruise.The national ID card is supposed to be completed by 2010 but they are going to fall short of the finish line because many of the states are rufuting.
My personal oppinion of these is that it’s absolutly wrong. It’s just another way to take our privacy away. It is a form of modern day branding, like cattle. Of course the government will claim it’s for our security……suuuurrre.

Hey, I bought a pre-built computer a while ago, I wasnt really for pre-built but the base model was quite decent, with an nvidia nforce mobo, a quad core at 2.66 ghz and 8 gigs of RAM blu-ray 2 SATA hard drives, high definition everything, etc etc all that fun stuff, but the graphics card and power supply seem to be very iffy, The graphics card is called a nvidia geforce 9500GS (Ps the driver failed on me once already and I couldnt fix the problem, nor could a computer technician) and the power supply is a crummy 400W generic that sounds like a boeing, but aside from that, anyone know anything about this card, since it doesnt seem to be anywhere on the internet or the nvidia website. All the reviews i have read about this computer have stated as well, that the rest of the machine is excellent but the graphics card and power supply seem to have been "overlooked". Idk, id just like some help and info on whether an upgrade to a nvidia geforce 9800GT or GTX with a new power supply, and any info on what kind of power supply i should get would be really appreciated..
as well as that, I bought a computer monitor (26.5" samsung) its native res is 1920:1200, but it says it can run in 1080p (idk if 1920:1200 is a better quality then 1080?), yet when I try to it distorts the picture and doesnt scale it properly, could this be the graphics card fault?
Card is junk, this day & age, similar to the 9500gt but with less processing power.
Your card is most likely struggling with a 1080i/p picture/video.
Generally with a well built system you want 500+ watt power supply. Their are many good brands out there, alot of the "cheaper" ones arent ‘true’ wattage so be careful.

I dont drive, goin in tomorrow for passport but likely wont get that on time, no photo ID health card. any photo ID i can get in like 3 days lol
thanks
I dont go out drinkin alot but have a friend comin that i havent seen in a long time and he wants to go out drinkin.
thanks
go to the DVM. You’ll need a birth certificate or credit card or mail that has your address and proof of who you are. They will give you a non drivers ID – that’s what i got, you just fill out the paperwork – give them like 10 bucks and they take a picture. go in the morning if possible when its less busy. Your state’s DVM website will have more on exactly what you’ll need to bring and the exactly cost. Easy Peasy

I don’t want to carry my passport around in case I loose it, I don’t drive or have any other Photo ID, but I get the impression it would be best to carry ID. Is there anything I can apply for that is accepted internationally?
Not really.
Photo drivers licence is the usual in the US, as most people don’t have or need a passport (ell, untill recently, you now need one to go to canada)
as a tourist (you’re accent kinda gives it away), it will be fine to say its back at the hotel. for entrance to clubs, then yes.. passport or drivers licence showing you are over 21.
In the past what I have done, for genearl ID, is to have a photocopy. If they want to see the original, then whoever is interested, can take me back to the hotel OR they can phone the hotel to confirm I am staying there.
Clubs… will probably want the original, but try it anyway.. or use your less improtant drivers licence (easier/cheaper to replace and you can still leave the country !)

it bugs me to have my phone in my pocket.
so i want a one of those things that hang around your neck and you can hang your phone on it but i want a cool looking one like say a zebra print or neon colerd one.
They have really nice ones at 5 below for like 3 bucks. All sorts of patterns and prints. Also, check out a dollar/value store.

This is not a traffic stop.
Do the police have to have a reason to ask for identification?
Is just verbally giving your name and address enough?
Is a federal photo ID enough such as your VA card with your photo on it?
As a Police Officer I can ask you for your identification during a consensual contact. Meaning I have no legal reason to detain you.
You can refuse.
If I a legal reason to detain you you have to produce identification or else I can take you to jail and let the Deputies figure out who you are.
Verbally giving your name and address does not work because you could say anything and believe it or not people lie!
Yes your VA card would be acceptable.

i am trying to figure out which printer to use to scan my id. The printer I currently have blurrs the minuscule details after I scan the card. I need something that can pick up these tiny details clearly. idk if it is the plastic covering but thanks!
There are many HP printers where they auto detect the size.
why don’t you check some Hp printers

I’ve seen several news stories that state that gunmen in Iraq have stopped buses, checked the ID cards of the passengers, and then murdered the people whose religion they disliked. It seems fairly obvious that the Iraqi government should be issuing a new type of ID card that DOESN’T say people’s religions so that it wouldn’t be so easy for gunmen to choose their victims. Why hasn’t either the US or Iraqi governments undertaken this glaringly obvious necessary action?

Whats the best Graphics card I can upgrade this computer with without upgrading the power supply?
I plan on playing World of Warcraft with it, High settings and smooth framerate. Should I upgrade the power supply for a even better graphics card. I expect to play on a small lcd monitor
i cant tell what the power supply is from the specs of the walmart site but i have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT which can play ANY game i can throw at it. It is a great graphics card, but it depends on the speed of your processor also. Im not sure with AMD CPU’s but i am very familiar to intel ones. Your AMD processor seems up to the requirements though.

It’s a non-driver photo ID card. Will I need birth certificate, and all that stuff, or will they just issue me a new one since I do possess the expired one? Somehow I think they might make the process as annoying as possible.
P I’d like to be prepared. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
It really depends on where you live but I would recommend that you take your birth certificate along with your expired one ID……

This is a term psychologists and psychiatrists use and on the surface it is kind of obvious. I find I am at a loss to explain it clearly and simply to our classes.
