Can I reinstall XP Pro from a store bought CD thats already installed on other computers.?
Heres the deal, Im trying to fix a freinds computer. She has an older Gateway that came with XP Pro installed. It has a Microsoft sticker on the case that says XP Pro with barcode and Product Key. The XP cd i want to use i know will not pass validation because its already being used elsware. When i go to reinstall with the cd, instead of using the product key that came with it can i type the product key from the Gateway and have everything work OK.

If I get a tattoo of a barcode and go to a store and scan it, will It show up as anything?
I read a story on the internet about a guy who got a tattoo of a barcode and scanned it at Home Depot, and he came up as a 160oz Claw Hammer.

Can I return a purchased video game and return it to a retail store?
Reason I ask is that I bought a pre-ordered game online and it’ll take a couple of days for me to receive it after it gets released. So I was thinking about buying the same game at Best Buy or Target on the game’s release date and when I receive my game I bought online, I can return it to the store with the receipt.
Reason is that i’m getting a better deal on the game online (obviously), but I don’t really want to wait that long for me to play the game. So do these the return department actually scan the box’s barcode if it’s theres or not or is it just a universal serial code for the item. I’m ignorant like that so if anyone can answer my question it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for the replies. Here’s a quick rundown
Buy game at retail store = Keeping this
Game bought online arrives (brand new) – Return to store with receipt
Benefits – Getting better price, playing it earlier
No scam, no illegal stuff… just a lot of greed =)

I want to create POS materials for my retail store myself?
I have been using Microsoft word and stock photos to create my own POS materials, however it looks a bit unprofessional. Does any one know of any relatively low cost suggestions?

Is it legal for a store clerk to scan my ID when I buy alcohol (without my permission)?
I recently bought beer in Illinois (it was at a Casey’s General Store), and I was asked to show my ID. I handed it to the clerk and just expected him to check my date of birth and picture, but he flipped it over and held the barcode under a scanner. I was sort of annoyed that he didn’t ask me if he could scan it. Maybe I’m just paranoid, but there’s personal information in those barcodes and I don’t like the idea of my name, address, birthdate, and who knows what else (possibly SS#) going into the store’s computer.
So, here’s my question… do you think it’s OK for stores to do this, particularly without asking first, and would you be concerned if someone scanned your ID? Also, does anyone know if there are any laws that regulate ID scanning? Thanks!
To clarify (for toodeemo), I don’t mind showing my ID since I’m in my 20s, but I don’t like the idea of them scanning the barcode on the back and having a record of my personal information in their computer.
For those of you who aren’t concerned about privacy with regard to ID scanning, here’s why I don’t like it…
First, I don’t want the store to have a record of my personal information, which could be potentially sold / used for solicitation purposes.
Additionally, I’m concerned that it could be sent to a state/federal database and I will be labeled as a drinker… and you never know how that information could be used. Police could have a list of drinkers that they would be more likely to be pull over to check for DUIs after routinely running their plates. It could be used in criminal or civil cases (to establish a drinking pattern). Who knows what else…
I’m not saying any of this is happening now, and I’m not accusing anyone of doing anything wrong. I’m just saying that it’s all possible depending on what happens (or could potentially happen) to our personal information once it enters store computers. If anyone has other info, please keep posting answers. Thanks in advance!

Would a tattoo of a real barcode actually ring up at a store carrying the product?
Also, would this be legal?

Where can I find a list of UPC identifiers for all the items in grocery store?
For example, is there a company that sells a subscription to a database of all grocery store UPCs or bar codes? If so, what is the URL and how much does the subscription cost?

I’m looking for the color coding/labeling system for store n pours that are used in bars?
I’m not looking for the colors that containers come with but the colored tape coding. I know I have found it on the web I just can’t seem to find it again.
Thanks for the help.
