Most of us aren't SAR experts, and wouldn't know a burn mark from a ridge shadow. The SARs that will be sifting through the public's mostly incorrect identification of accident artifacts would be better utilized in direct search efforts They don't re-send those images to other random users to filter out the results before passing them along to a pro? 'you sure?
Because, if they did that, then "x people think there's something here" might make a nice priority queue for those pros, rather than trying blind.

Hmmm...interesting. I hit [reply] because I was pretty darn sure the ladies of WWII talking about dancing with GIs meant general infantrymen on leave, and not government issued dance partners, but as it turns out, they meant to dance with galvanized iron robot dansotrons! From beyond the moon!
The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, which, at the time of VeriChip's approval, was headed by Tommy Thompson. Two weeks after the device's approval took effect on Jan. 10, 2005, Thompson left his Cabinet post, and within five months was a board member of VeriChip Corp. and Applied Digital Solutions. He was compensated in cash and stock options.
Thompson, until recently a candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, says he had no personal relationship with the company as the VeriChip was being evaluated, nor did he play any role in FDA's approval process of the RFID tag.
"I didn't even know VeriChip before I stepped down from the Department of Health and Human Services," he said in a telephone interview.
Yet another amazing coincidence. If I could just pay a dollar in taxes every time this happens, somebody sure could get rich. Looky, it's the aspartame approval process all over again!
August 8, 1983-- Consumer Attorney, Jim Turner of the Community Nutrition Institute and Dr. Woodrow Monte, Arizona State University's Director of Food Science and Nutritional Laboratories, file suit with the FDA objecting to aspartame approval based on unresolved safety issues.
September, 1983-- FDA Commissioner Hayes resigns under a cloud of controversy about his taking unauthorized rides aboard a General Foods jet. (General foods is a major customer of NutraSweet) Burson-Marsteller, Searle's public relation firm (which also represented several of NutraSweet's major users), immediately hires Hayes as senior scientific consultant.
Fall 1983-- The first carbonated beverages containing aspartame are sold for public consumption.
RFID chips don't emit electromagnetic radiation, they only (really) reflect it. What's more, the energy levels are far lower than any number of other day-to-day activities, in the same frequency ranges as other signals all around us, and RFID chips are only scanned for a couple seconds at a time, and only on occasion. If they reflect radiation in the same frequency ranges as other signals all around us, don't they reflect that energy all the time, not just on occasions when they are purposefully scanned?
Fortunately, if there are US christians who openly advocated violence against other countries in order to convert their population, they are not in positions of power. "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."
Mr Bush went on: "And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it."
A greenpeace action figure would eat tofu, wear earth shoes, and run screaming like a school girl at the first sign of any real danger. Let's see you get between an explosive harpoon and the whale it's meant for, internet tough guy.
I can't help but shudder at the thought of complaints from minority groups if there weren't any token blacks/Hispanics/etc. Personally, I find characters whose sole purpose is to stand up and scream "look at me, I'm not white!" to be rather annoying. That's why the black guy always dies first: they didn't want him in the first place.
On the flipside, Lando WAS awesome, as a space pimp ought to be.
Granted, a few inconsequential voices spoke out against it (and I happen to be a big fan of Ron Paul). But the vast majority of both parties are directed by their respective leadership to support anything that consolidates federal power. I know that, I'm just saying: Power to the people. Don't let him remain an inconsequential voice, spread the word, get involved in your politics, because you don't take charge of politics, politics will take charge of you.
I wouldn't solely blame "the administration" for this, as both parties have actively supported the Patriot Act. Not unanimously: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/about/
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
The odds of Ron Paul winning his primary are approximately zero. He's telling the truth and speaking intelligently, that's not very popular with his party, but he's pulling in a lot of donations from individuals, so I wouldn't give him up for dead quite yet.
I think that you are correct, you cannot give up your rights by entering into such a contract, and if that's what the original poster was implying, then he is wrong about that part. And I think that I am correct, that there is some validity to such a claim that the contract is valid, and you can be sued and lose for breaching the contract by refusing to allow your bags to be searched Good! Thank you. And I also think you can be sued, but that's just because I think they have lawyers on the payroll with nothing better to do, not because they have the law on their side.
You are not giving up your right to refuse to be searched and to walk peacefully out of the store. [...] I suspect that you misunderstood what the original poster was talking about, which was contracts, not criminal laws. I suspect he was talking about a sign that would allow the store to take away your right to refuse the search and drive away with your family, since this is the situation at hand.
the original poster went on to make a very good point that if you understand your rights well enough to challenge a police officer, then you would have understood the sign as well. If you understand your rights well enough to challenge a police officer, you understand that the sign means fuck all, your rights are inalienable, they can put up anything they want on their sign, and any clause they come up with which is illegal (such as "unattended children will be sold as slaves") will be ignored by those who understand their rights.
when it comes to technology and censorship, there's no political party (that has a chance of winning) that aligns with the/.-mindset. All a party needs is the right candidate http://www.ontheissues.org/Ron_Paul.htm#Technology
If they just put two and two next to each other and let you think "4" without saying it, then you can come post to slashdot and ask 'who in the administration said "four"?'... But you'll still have "4" in your head, even though no one can quote them saying it. So, because the Bush Administration said that Saddam Hussein was a sponsor of terrorism 69% of the population ended up believing that Saddam was part of 9/11.
Calling my argument stupid isn't much of an argument. [...] Also, the fact that you don't want to open such an establishment has no bearing on whether or not they should exist. Your argument being "If you want a non-smoking restaurant now then start one"?
I said I didn't want to have this empty argument, I'm not offering you facts so you'll ignore them. You've parroted the usual nonsense, you obviously have no original thought to offer, and the unoriginal things you repeat mindlessly are pointless.

Mr Bush, who became a born-again Christian at 40, is one of the most overtly religious leaders to occupy the White House, a fact which brings him much support in middle America.

Clean air act means more air pollution.
No child left behind means all children held back.
Healthy forest initiative means clear cutting...
See a pattern yet?

Then again the majority of people in the USA who call themselves Christians would make Jesus puke. So these irrational war mongering jerks are opposed on slashdot, but that's not anti-Christian, that's anti-irrationals.
