Don't see any discussions here _why_ these procedures are necessary.
One thing is certain though - given the survival of the recent bomber, bombers should now think twice before hesitate stuffing explosives into their crotch area.
A automated, networked, accelerometer-based quake detection process may be more reliable. Sure, a lot of mobile phones would be moving around, but if enough phones in the same areas showed synchronised movements, maybe this could work.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brad Friedman Date: Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 9:35 AM Subject: [motioncapture] releasing some optitrack open source software and code To: mocap list
Hey all.
Been a while. I've been rather busy with other things.
I'm releasing some OptiTrack related open source software and code.
Two simple modules have been released. One is LGPL and one is BSD.
Its all alpha level stuff. But its working well enough for me to move on to other things. I feel its worth open sourcing something that runs, and does useful things. Even if its not feature complete and production tested.
Its really for developers more than end users for now. But this list is about developing tools. So there you go.
My theory is simple: This particular part of working with OT cameras is kinda generic and somewhat dull. I'd rather have an open source backend that we can all maintain together, than have to maintain it completely by myself. The windows app is LGPL. The example client, is BSD. Therefore, it should be good for open source and commercial developers who, like me, also want to collaborate on the dull backend and spend more time on other aspects of mocap systems. The projects are separated by a nice simple binary data stream layer to make sure their licenses don't conflict.
Two main features of interest:
1. Cameras operating on different computers can be synchronized by looping the sync cable through. The existing Arena and PointCloud tools from NP don't do this on their backend.
2. Development is jail broken out of the PC environment by the binary protocol. The example script is written in python and runs on OSX and linux, for example.
Further work to be done:
1. Better support of OT cameras other than the V100r1. That's the only camera I have, so that's what I know is supported. C120 and V100r2 are something I can't really confirm function of. But I'd like to.
2. Occasional sending of a GMT timestamp from the 2d servers, interleaved with the frames, for sanity checking purposes and helping with situations where the sync cable may not be working fully.
3. Switch between the mass marker mode, and COM object mode. This should make the grayscale and masking features of the camera work again (I think being in mass object mode disables them).

Declining an invitation to pay a visit, Hipcheck16 posted a response that said, according to court documents, "Seems like you're very willing to invite a man you only know from the Internet over to your house -- have you done it before, or do they usually invite you to their house?"
The post then continues with references to the boy's "mommy," saying that statements made by her son may cause her political problems after her election, according to court records.
Stone said the comments crossed the line.
"I would like to hear the explanation for the innocent part of that," she said. "There was no joke, there was no punch line."
Stephen Tyma, an attorney representing Stone, said First Amendment protections were designed to shield anonymity in political debate, but not in what he characterized as sexual insinuations about children.
Looks like a fit case for an apology by 'hipcheck' - if he did _not_ know the child was a minor
If he _did_ know Stone's son was a minor, knowingly making lewd insinuations to a child is illegal and he deserves a visit from that process server.
What is the risk from our home printers? It all depends how you use them and what the ventilation is like in your home. If you print a page or so from time to time, in a reasonably ventilated house (some windows opened), it is unlikely that particle concentration would reach levels of concern. If however, document after document was printed for a long period of time, in an enclosed room, then the particle concentrations could reach levels of concern.
The Nano costs $2300 - a hybrid version that cost $1000 extra would revolutionize personal transport far more than some sports car. I daresay that the cost of funding would be lower too.

But who will bell the cat.:-)
A company who builds and sells access to such applications will have a small market to sell to -- folks like you, for whom internet bandwidth is cheap and reliable.
I have a notional 21 Mbps connection myself (ADSL+) with an ISP and my bandwidth is cheap.
However, of the two chains below, the first one is more likely to have a stutter or outage - simply due to it having more moving parts:
1 - Application Service Provider + CDN + multiple ISPs + my ISP + my telco + ADSL modem + Home Wifi link + Home computer

Lewd? I see no lewd ...
Read it carefully, and avoid projecting your own lewdness on to the sentence.
You either real dumb, or wilfully dishonest.
I think one has to be seriously oversexed or repressed to see ...
Kindly avoid projecting your simplistic stereotypes onto folks you disagree with.
If you knowingly make lewd statements to a minor...
hey, what was I thinking? Yes, its the internet. Normal laws do not apply here!
What for? The US is not a member of the EU yet
You really should click more...

Why isn't the US govt fund hybrid car projects similar to the Tata Nano instead?
