It reminds me of something my sociology professor told us back in college: You are what you perceive others to perceive you to be.
I've got bad knees. Some days, the pain is so great to just bend my knee that I limp.
I guess on those days, I don't need to be calling anyone, anyway.
How long would this take to establish your gait? Front pants pocket? left or right? Back pocket? Cargo pocket? Coat pocket? Surely holding it up in your hand wouldn't work, as an arm is going to counteract the bouncing of a step and hold it steady. Maybe held lightly swinging in the hand.
And what if I was carrying a backpack? Or briefcase? Or....really, did these guys think this through all the way?
I know someone who has a SECRET clearance. He's in the Marine Corps, has served as an Intelligence Analyst. In order to get his HAZMAT endorsement on his CDL, he had to go through a separate process of fingerprinting at a TSA-certified location, and a separate TSA background check...I guess the previous background check by the FBI and constant fingerprints for deployments aren't good enough to drive gasoline around.
Having a SECRET clearance, I'm sure the FBI, CIA, NSA, and obviously the Marine Corps has all this information on file. The TSA should just accept the other agency's background check, but no, they've got to do their own. Waste of time, resources, and money.
He did his background check at the same time as another guy, the other guy DIDN'T have a clearance, both came back in the same amount of time, so they obviously aren't sharing information.
This was pointed out then that it was just more of a misunderstanding than anything else, so why is everyone reacting to it like it's a brand new issue?
..usually it takes just a few comments down to find one that refers back to a previously posted article here on Slashdot, either the same article (more and more common, lately) or one from the recent past.
Except he doesn't need the location of the people. He needs the location of his dog. That's not even a subtle difference, but it is important.
That's what the chip's for: to provide the location of the dog. Not to provide the location of the people who are currently in possession of said dog. It's not the chip company's fault if those people happen to be where the dog currently is.
After RTFA, Mr. Moorhouse requested the address of the people, not the dog. So this issue never would have been brought up if he hadn't been stupid; this shouldn't be newsworthy.
Why is the parent modded funny? It's a serious point.
My USMC Infantry service in Afghanistan and Iraq showed me that the parent poster is absolutely correct. When dealing with the locals, we had to be forceful, because that is what they were used to. Push them, hit them a bit, yell at them; that's what they respond to. The simply don't understand freedom; they lack the education about freedom.
Is this an excuse to persecute them? No. Is it right? Probably not. But it's the way things are.
The leader of such a country can't be expected to be any different if he came from that country and was raised in that country and educated in that country.
I have 1gbps fiber optic to my house; from the drop box it goes to 8 100mb CAT5e ports, with 2 more dedicated for telephone service. My GARAGE even has this, as it's running on a separate electrical meter than the house. So not only does my garage have better connectivity than their city, but it costs roughly $30/month. My particular ISP has port 80 capped at about 800kb/s, and port 21 capped at 1,500kb/s. Torrents often come in over 1mb/s. My particular cost is closer to $50/mo because I have a static IP address, and more ports provisioned than the default of 2.
The hookup to the house is free, the PUD does that; see, we metaphorically raped California some years back on electricity when they had massive brownouts, so the PUD had extra money to spend. The in-house wiring of the CAT5 and the internet/TV/telephone service is all what the customer pays for.
I'm a USMC Infantry Machine Gunner. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan. For a time, I was the farthest forward-deployed unit in our military.
I'm pissed. GameStop just lost all my business. I don't care that you can play as Taliban on a game, even I'll do it just for kicks. I seem to remember something (http://www.slate.com/id/2096112/) about the Japanese fighting against the Japanese in a different MOH title.
It's not a big deal. Really, though, thanks for treating us like children, and "protecting" us from the evils of those Taliban, who we haven't walked with on streets holding rifles, or shot at or been shot at in reality. We obviously cannot handle it.
GameStop, I hope you die.
One might as well say girls hinder education for boys. Or TV. Or radio. Or cars. Or outside. Or....
So a computer doesn't HELP their education, but there was no solid conclusive evidence that it hurt, either. Even Texas just stated that "there was no evidence linking technology immersion with student self-directed learning or their general satisfaction with schoolwork."
A kid that isn't interested in school isn't going to raise his grades because he got a fancy new computer. Or TV. Or radio. Or girlfriend. Or car. Or....
Counter study: give a group of kids a fully updated set of the Encyclopedia Britannica and see how it effects their education. No need, the results are above.

I can't believe you guys, can you honestly forget about this article, that was handily posted two weeks ago: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/09/11/1944227/Pentagon-Aims-To-Buy-Up-Book"

"...the fastest of any US city." That's just plain wrong.
Grant County Washington has 1gbps to most houses. http://gcpud.org/customerService/fiberNetwork/index.html Information is a little hard to find on their site, but let me give you some details.
