Ok, so you're obviously able to search google images for "trash" -- now search the web for "free clip art" instead.
This is a pain, and involves a lot of weeding-out of the popup ads and not-really-free clipart services.
It is WAY more work than searching google images, then right-click-save-image-as. And it's legal, ethical, and all that boring stuff too.

How does one assert that merely touching someone is an act for which you can cause physical harm?
As I understand the law (here in CO, anyway) you can be charged for assault without ever touching.
If I yell in your face and cause you to believe that I intend physical harm (e.g. I raise a fist to hit you) then I've committed assault. If I grap your lapel while I'm doing this, I've committed battery.
Merely touching someone is criminal, if that touch is
unwanted.
As it happens, I think the jacket is a joke. For $1k, I'd much rather have my wife spend a year in martial arts training than give her an electronic gizmo. OTOH, I don't live anywhere near NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, etc.
When someone says that nothing comes close to their particular weapon of choice, all the boys (and women) with bigger guns will just crawl out of the woodwork.

The 7mm Remmington belongs to a good friend of mine. It was completely original, hardwood stock, original barrel. Eventually the barrel started to break down, so he had it rebuilt. Synthetic stock, fluted(?) and floated barrel, polished trigger and a new, higher-power scope. The day he picked it up, the gun shop clerk said "I guess all you need now is a clear day and a tall clocktower."
7mm Remmington Magnum. I've done a lot of.223 (Colt AR-15, or a friend's Mini-14) but nothing even comes close to the 7mm.
Personally, I prefer to put a 2 liter bottle on top of the offending PC part and hit the bottle. The hydrostatic shock generally has the same effect as a full-swing sledgehammer blow, and you get to make a 20-foot-diameter cloud while you're at it. No, nobody gets wet; the water is vaporized, not splashed about
In Intuit's case, they actually saw a loss on the books, and realized it was a Bad Thing. Hollywood hasn't seen any such loss, and so doesn't understand.
One might argue that this is because Intuit has competition, while Hollywood is in fact several dominant companies working together in a de facto monopoly. Losing a customer to a boycott is nothing -- there's a line behind you, skippy. Losing a customer to your competition, now that's a real problem.

I'm baffled at the parent's moderation. I wasn't aiming to be smart-assed about the question of outdoor enclosures, and I'm well aware of what high-budget projects can do, either with existing telco companies or with folks like Pelican. For those of us working on a shoestring budget, a silocone-sealed Igloo cooler makes a great enclosure, and costs less than US$20.

Uh, how well do hard disk drives actually work when in the trunk of a car involved in a high speed chase? This brings new meaning to the phrase "head crash", doesn't it? Seems like the lower-tech VCR would be more reliable in this case...

When I say "I'd like to see your VCR take 20Gs" I'm not being confrontational -- I really would like to see that. Shoot a video of the event and post it here, it'd be cool!
this is just a glorified potato clock.
That was my first impression too -- stick copper and zinc wires into a grape and you get electricity -- but that's not what they're doing. The article is light on details, but using a pair of carbon rods (insert Simpsons ref here) they're digesting glucose and collecting a few microwatts as a product.

Happy birthday and all, but how do you say "pork-barrell politics" in french?
First, we need the academics to get disinterested. Maybe we plant a few to throw up their arms and say "This project is doomed, I give up!"
Then once the attention is diverted, we can start bringing SkyNet online, and the only ones who'd notice will be looking the other way!
Brilliant!
