Cat Recognition Algorithms?
skunkeh writes "So your cat keeps bringing dead (or half dead) animals in to your house. What do you do? Obviously, you set up a digital camera to monitor the cat door and lock her out if she has something in her mouth..."

you goat rapist! nice to see you back here on shitdot! i love you, klerck.
Where do you live, my little sweaty friend?
Several strikes against this story though.
First, if you'll note from one of the snapshots, the machine it's running on is on Winders. Doh! And second (and I've been resisting doing this for several weeks now), although not about the story itself, Slashdot has got stop recycling content from Daypop. It starting to show through guys. At least, if you're going to re-post what is old news to quite a few of us, make a serious effort of getting the attributions (i.e. give Daypop credit for making you aware of it) correct. And perhaps, try to add something new.

Asking them to give credit to Daypop for this would be like asking a local TV station to give credit to another for a story on a car accident. Obviously it's something that exists independently of either TV station, or in this case, news reporting website.
What?
Klerck's real name is Kevin Ealy. He lives in Charleston North Carolina. He lived at 14 Stanhope Road, Goose Creek, South Carolina about a year ago. He might be employed somewhere in the technology/computer business, attending school, or living off his parents. He posts on www.shacknews.com very often with his username like he has no life. Click here to see how big of a fag with no life he is. Kevin has a website klerck.org . He uses Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. He might look like this minus the gigantic penis of course. He enjoys photography with his Cannon digital camera and is a member of an internet art club. Probably not much older than 20 or 21 and might live with his parents. He might also troll under the names of Patrick Bateman and Mr. Nutty.
Please distribute this information in order to destroy the pathetic life of Kevin Ealy.
If you have any further information, please reply.
Thank you.
You could absolutely be right in this case. Point taken. But there has been an alarming rise in frequency of content from the Daypop Top40 being posted on /. 3-10 days after it hits. It's just a little lame.
yeah. i saw yours after i posted mine. if you'll notice, there's a 1 minute difference. *hug*

From several web sources:
...an outdoor cat can kill up to 1,000 animal per year."
"Despite the difficulties in showing the effect most predators have on their prey, cats are known to have serious impacts on small mammals and birds. Worldwide, cats may have been involved in the extinction of more bird species than any other cause, except habitat destruction."
"Most domesticated cats gobble endless bags of cat chow. But they also like dining outdoors where their meals comprise 70 percent small mammals, 20 percent birds, and 10 percent assorted live bait. "
"Cats cause the deaths of more songbirds than any other animal.
" The combined total of pets and free-ranging cats in the U.S. is probably more than 100 million."
"...rural free-ranging domestic cats in Wisconsin may be killing between 8 and 217 million birds each year. The most reasonable estimates indicate that 39 million birds are killed in the state each year. Nationwide, rural cats probably kill over a billion small mammals and hundreds of millions of birds each year. Urban and suburban cats add to this toll."
It may be argued that responsible cat owners not only neuter their cats, but also keep them strictly indoors or on a leash.

It seems to have got modded back down to 2 - so it can't have been as funny as we thought.
Video Game cheats, hints a
I posting this message on behalf of a friend. He is really pissed off with his neighbour. His neighbour, who I shall refer to 'Mark', is a unreasonable person. He refuses to stop his cat from pissing and shitting on my friend lawn, and sometimes his motorbike. Anyway, killing a cat is not illegal in my country if they are on your own property. So, does anyone have tips for my friend? Could any use be made of his motorbike in this plan?
