That means if your camera is hanging around your neck and in the OFF position, and you see a three-legged man riding a unicycle towards you, you can quickly turn the camera on and snap the shot
Ohmigod!!.. who would want to take a picture of THAT?!
Now seriously, I wanted to buy a DSLR camera a while ago. But as a professional wannabe, I ended up purchasing one of those "semi-DSLR" (to give it a name), like the Nikon Coolpix 8800. They have most of the things the professional cameras have, such as shutter speed and aperture control, but still remain quite simple and your don't have to worry about buying very expensive lenses that cost as much (or more) as the camera itself.
Pedophilia is not something what was invented when the internet came out. It existed before it (ask the greeks!) and will continue to exist as long as there are humans alive.
Prosecuting child porn helps little to none. The real child molesters get off by abusing kids and, consequently, making porn of it. Stopping distribution will not stop the criminals. If anything, will make them to remain quiet about what they do, making them harder to find. And IMHO, putting in jail a pedophile who never harmed anyone (instead of the real offender), because he downloaded some pics off the internet, seems quite unfair to me.
As everyone else, I see this as a scheme to gather more information of people. Yes, they will probably catch two or three poor bastards who got some pics, just to justify the hundreds of thousands of people they collected personal information on.
But what strikes me the most is the passiveness which with the nowaday american takes these kind of news. They forfeited a lot of individual and privacy rights so far. And as new stuff such as this comes out, all they do is whine and let them get away with it.
Would this have happened 200 years ago, Bush's head would be hanging on a stick in front of the White House. Americans got fat, lazy, weak and/or afraid.

I read "Doctor who makes Guinness Book of World Records". And I was "Wow, what'd he do?!"
Unless they mixed their DNA with frog DNA.. in that case, they might change sex spontaneously and breed!!!
