As far as I can tell, their system tracks using radio signals, and intercepting radio signals is specifically excluded from this provision. From the Act:
"telecommunications network" means a system, or series of systems, for carrying communications by means of guided or unguided electromagnetic energy or both, but does not include a system, or series of systems, for carrying communications solely by means of radiocommunication."
Loads of comments here seem to be along the line of "my pet has a great life therefore this is retarded." Sure - you've got a good anecdote. I imagine PETA are pretty cool with you. What I imagine they're trying to target is the purchase of trophy pets that get abused &/or dumped - fighting dogs, handbag dogs, "guard dogs" (thisnk: chained up in the shadeless yards 24 hours a day etc.) It's a blunt instrument, but if the stats read (not saying they do, just pointing out your anecdote ain't much better) that these pets are the majority or a significant minority then perhaps some form of regulation is the right idea.
Not sure why this was modded Troll - it's fairly clearly not a troll. You might disagree with the sentiment, or how it's expressed, but this isn't a troll.
"crowd-sourcing" this is a gimmick. There's only 24k pages and they've already been scanned. OCR them and run them through some decent e-discovery software - maybe do some concept searching, sentiment analysis. Crowd-sourcing will get you attention, but it's a slow way to get to the goodies.
Tell me you're not that naive! Beyond the realms of possiblity for you that a US agency strongly suggested to the Kuwaiti Govt (who probably feel they owe the US a few favours) that they pick this kid up and interrogate him?e
LeBron James? Who the fuck is LeBron James? Some American sports person? You think that *he* had the greatest impact on the world this year after Julian Assange? Get some perspective son.
This. Salisbury, and the Cathedral, really are the business - impressive visually, extremely impressive historically. Do make the time to go check it out and do take the time to see it properly. The Magna Carta, really is something.

Bring back Christopher Eccleston and it might have a shot.

F***ing Google it. Seriously - is this what Ask Slashdot's become?
So the poor are getting stomped becuase they're stupid? Still doesn't seem fair...
oh now that's acute comeback!
That's what, 2 films a year over 4 years? Doesn't really contradict what the OP's saying when he say "much" of what's produced is dross.
I'm happy to chuck in an extra couple of bucks so that some local kid keeps their job.
Please note: I have decided to stop development of the PuTTY Tray patch, and I have no plans to resume it at any point in the future.
By jingo you American's are inspiring! Such self-awareness, such humility, such jingoism!
Get a push bike and get your groceries delivered FFS! Better for you, better for me, and cheaper.

If you're doing it fast enough to be worried about a speed camera, you might be doing it wrong.
I think he probably meant tropical cyclone rather than tropical storm. No difference between cyclone and hurricane afaik.
Those'd be Western values, not American values.

props to eldavojohn too - most of the stuff he posts is interesting, and the summaries are usually good too.
