just waiting for costs to go down even more before attempting this worthy data collection project. Right now there are units you can stick a SIM card in and basically makes it a mobile phone, you can use GPS real time and have the unit text you when its outside set perimeters. You can also call the unit and listen to sounds. No camera though and expensive + needs cell service sub.

Soon, though. I will know all their secrets.

cant find the little unit you can call.. i remember it because of the size.. most pet trackers are dog sized for hunting dogs, etc.

Oh that was great. Did something similar myself on the edge of some asphalt that was undermined. Fortunately when it snapped off it wasn't a 6 foot hole full of water but just a foot or so into the ditch...and no cameras.

oh i know it was in fact real, and not edited. the only edit made were the joining of the many videos of each angle we took of the dog working the ropes, the music, and the titles. the video is pixelated because it has been compressed. i know this because i am the dude in the video holding the ropes for little geronimo come to dollywood this summer to see the action in person, and see for yourself.

The dog is clearly talented and may perhaps be able to skip a couple passes of the rope (though that's questionable) but the extended video of the dog jumping up and down is clearly edited*. The exact same sequence of the dog jumping up and down is used multiple times in each new camera angle. In one of them, at about 0:50, you can see some fade artifacting from the editing process. I'd love to see the original footage if it exists, but I think it probably doesn't...

*I can tell because of some of the pixels. (;



actually dog is jumping rope perfectly. no editing of the dog jumping rope at all. i should know. its my video and my dog. took me 5 straight weeks to complete the trick. no camera tricks here.

Curious; can you outline your friend's argument?

Well, first off, you have to imagine that he is very charismatic, and I was drunk and halfway through a game of Eclipse. Anyway, the argument (and this has already been said before) was just that the "stand your ground law" is flawed. All Zimmerman really would need to do, is prove that he felt his life was in danger. Any circumstances before that might not even be taken into account depending on how the judge feels the law applies. And Zimmerman is the one with an eye witness to back him up.
It sounds pretty flimsy, I know, but I would prepare myself for the possibility that Zimmerman will walk. There's no reason it can't end that way.


This is how many people feel. I have argued with someone about it repeatedly in the past week. I find the split on this issue comes to down to gun owners who carry and on the other side you have gun owners who don't carry or non-gun owners.

I keep saying that the law should not be whose alive to claim whatever. The law should be applied in order of events. Because Zimmerman survived the encounter does not mean he didn't start it, and the first evidence of this is him chasing Trayvon on foot.

I can't imagine a person in the world that feels getting chased by a complete stranger for no reason thinks that guy has your best intentions at heart. So, you could make a reasonable claim that Trayvon Martin felt he needed to defend himself.

And the evidence backs it up. Hell the recounting of events is something like this: Zimmerman follows in the vehicle, then gets out and chases on foot, 911 tells him not to, and he loses Trayvon. While returning to his vehicle (which could be the way Trayvon had to go to get home) Trayvon confronts him and asks if he has a problem, Zimmerman says no and (here's the important part) *reaches for his phone*, that's when he claims Trayvon says "yeah you do" and hits him.

Hell if I had someone chase me down the street and then reach for their pocket after they got me close, I'd assume ill intent in the form of a weapon or something.

So, in a non-insane law environment. The law would first apply to Trayvon. He would be covered under SYG and Zimmerman would be the aggressor and have to follow the parts of the SYG law covering that on how to disengage. If he didn't follow those or admit to following those, then he's fucked.

If he did follow those, then he still isn't covered under SYG because his stupid ass started it. Perhaps he felt in danger of his life, but it doesn't say aggressors under SYG also covered under SYG.

But a law without language telling you to not retreat or de-escalate is a stupid fucking law. You just find a place that has no cameras and no witnesses, then kill everyone. Create the confrontation if you need to, just make sure the other guy is dead at the end. And you are immune, no one can sue you for anything regarding those events once you've been cleared under SYG.

^That was a huge over-generalization though.

Anyway, the world may indeed be more peaceful than ever before, but because information travels so much faster than ever before, we still see more and more violence and war. As the flow of information grows, the perceived war increases.

Imagine this, how fucked up could police have been in the 80s, when no cameras caught anything?

Secret wars are coming to an end, although the propagators of them really wants to keep them around (look at what's happening with wikileaks).

Montana has the coolest cops.


If he was black and there was no camera there is no way this would go down like it did.

For completeness of the discussion, I thought I would add that the same guy has now gotten two kinects working together:

Quite amazing!!! So for the most part you are watching at a camera angle from where there is actually no camera at all, the image is calculated from two different camera angles.

If there had been no camera: "Those damn teenagers put the cat in the bin!"

People, people, it's so obviously a joint NSA-KGB plot to infiltrate Poland using Elvis, armed with hijacked alien artifacts. THINK ABOUT IT! There were *no* cameras around when the plane allegedly "crashed". Coincidence? They're covering up the fact that there was no plane crash, but an ancient mayan temple disguised as a plane crash to fool the sheepish population! Cloning the Polish president was easy enough, and detonating a combined EMP- and time compression bomb in orbit around the earth diverted attention from the military industrial complex trying to create another cold war buildup in the region. The new world order organisation controlling the media will see to it that the population buys into these lies, but luckily I was able to research the truth!

1024x768 is retarded Like others have said at least do 1280x720.

Still no Flash? But also no camera or other features my iPhone has?

I don't think it's a piece of shit or anything but I'm a little disappointed. I'd hoped it would at least run Flash.

Older people really do benefit from touchscreens.

meh is right. This product is completely underwhelming. Netbook manufacturers have little to worry about. As much as Apple might think that A4 processor is powerful, it is significantly handicapped by the OS and APIs Apple has implemented.

I honestly thought Apple was going to do some interesting take on the Tablet PC concept, and instead they are producing another locked-down gadget that ultimately resembles trash more than a computing experience. The lack of USB connectivity without dongles, a proprietary SIM card design, still no hope of Flash, no camera, a flawed keyboard design... the list is long.

Granted, I would not be surprised if it sold well, knowing how dedicated some Apple users can be.
