    Live-Shot has done something similar. <joke>Texas could raise money to cover the cost of illegals already in the country by selling licenses to hunt those attempting to come in illegally now.</joke>.

    If they did this in USA then they could rig up remote controlled guns or such and get a better crime resolution rate.

    What do you mean could rig up remote-controlled guns?

    Live Shot has been talking this up for a year, and it's still not on line. All they have is target practice with paper targets. It's vaporware. Like Hunt for Bambi.

    Although bringing those two concepts together has real potential for a porno site...

    "Except most hunters don't eat the animals they hunt or utilize it in any way."

    You wouldn't be pulling these statistics out of thin air, would you? :)

    Regardless, it's beside my point anyway. I was merely saying hunting your own food, via Internet or otherwise, is probably better than buying the stuff you get from the mega-corporation slaughterhouses at the supermarket. It was never meant to a lead-in to a larger argument about whether or not hunters actually use the parts of the animals they hunt (which in turn is probably part of the argument you really want to argue - whether or not hunting is "right").

    Now to argue the new and only (slightly) related "point" you brought up.

    "Especially not when the hunting is being done over the Internet."

    Possibly true (nobody knows since it's never been done before). But, playing Devil's Advocate, according to the website, there's a harvesting and meat processing fee that's part of the overall bill. I still don't think that makes it right, for the record.

  10. Here's the purveyor by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Internet Hunting Banned in California
    In case anyone's curious, here's the shootin' website in question. Here's an interesting snippet from the site:

    "An additional $60.00 is charged for meat processing. If you elect to keep the meat for your consumption, then this deposit is passed on to the meat processor. If you are unable to use the meat for yourself, a donation can be made to either a charitable orginization or to an animal orphanage. The $60.00 charge is then used as a contribution to these programs."

    Slashdot away!

    Gosh! It is important news! Aside from the live-shot thing, but I'm not much into hunting and very much into munching a huge bag of quality kernels (not Linux kernels!) while watching lightsabres clash and Han Solo shooting first.

    Yeah, it was really more intended to be funny. I just hate when people use a concept that is impossible to prove as fact. They use it loosely, so you can't say "you don't know that".

    Nice.

    That hotspot could also, potentially, be used to launch nuclear weapons and online hunting.

    From site:

    "A paid membership will allow for access to the range viewing camera(s) at any time. Members can then schedule a reserved session time which allows exclusive control of the shooting system to fire at a choice of various reactive targets."

    "At all times during a shooting session, someone is at the shooting station and is available to answer questions (e-mail, instant messaging), provide assistance, and ensure a quality experience. This person has the ability to override the firing mechanism of the system to minimize the chance of a dangerous or illegal discharge from occurring."
