Granted it is not standard procedure, but your above descriptions cover Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib very well. Soon we might even get an internet kill switch.
And just like Egypt we have the specter of religious terrorist strawmen to keep the populace in fear. Lovely.
Sigh. It's way too late to earn any karma, but I am inpressed no other geeks noticed it. "Yahoo's Firebird" should be "Yahoo's Fire Eagle", a GPS something or other.
I can't believe I actually wikipedia'd this....
This line has evolved to be waterproof (dive 33 feet deep), dustproof, crushproof, freezeproof. But is still small and light. Just feels a bit more solid than most. The latest model has 10 megapixels.
I own the model from a couple years back (stylus 800, 8 megapixels). Not yet waterproof, but has survided a fall into the pool. Not yet crushproof, but has survived a 6ft fall onto concrete.
Only minuses: takes proprietary Olympus (xD) memory cards, but adapters for miniSD are available. Also, picture delay is bigger than some.
All in all, could not be more satisfied. Get that latest 10 megapixel survive-everything model and you will be pretty much set.
and have a cat, then buy some premium catnip toys & stuff from Kitty Hooch.
Kitty Hooch is Eric's business. He pays Andras to work on Quanta. Thats not much dough a month (Andras lives in Romania of all places) but its all out of his own pocket.
And for what its worth, cats like his catnip a lot more than the store-bought one.
