I'm certain that, like a lot of laws, the police wouldn't be hampered by this. They'd be able to get regular old fashioned cartridges, so they wouldn't ever have to worry about it.
So, on top of the govt or "whoever" knowing when I buy ammunition:
"When they are sold, cartridges could be programmed with a password that matches the purchaser's gun."
So, I buy it, have it set for my G17, and then decide I want to take the beretta to the range. Whoops. Can't do that. Don't have any of my beretta 9mm ammo with me. these cartridges won't fire, I've already paired them with my glock. Horrible.
This isn't an aim to improve civilian firearm safety, it's a way for the masses that believe guns are useful only for crime to slowly take away the rights the constitution gave us.
"The system would undoubtedly cost more than a conventional gun, but many firearm enthusiasts would surely pay a premium for such added security"
Not a single firearms enthusiast I know would pay a premium for this. It would actually make us pay LESS for the gun (if we would even buy it) because the gun is now crippled.
No, I don't. It will jump occasionally, but has never done so near any of these sites.
Fairfax county parkway, I'll jump all over the place. But not near the pentagon.
I'm thinking you have either crappy software, or a crappy GPS system. The nav in my toyota keeps me solid on the road, never jumps, when I drive by the pentagon and whenever I'm in DC.
Ditto for the GPS software I have on my ipaq, before I got my in dash toy. Sounds like it's time to put away the tinfoil hat, and buy some better gear.
Simple. No more having to suffer through ads, no more menus you can't skip, none of the hassles of some of the newer DVD's.
Yes, I know you can skip those if you are on your computer, but if you have kids, you can just put the tape in, press play, and let them watch.
It's just easier, and remember, a lot of people still have vhs tapes. It was around for a long time, and people have amassed massive collections of vhs.
Whoa Whoa Whoa...You know you're on slashdot, right?
And yet you expect people wait to read an article before commenting? WTF. Again, I state, this is slashdot. People don't read. The ones that DO read DON'T comprehend. It's just pretty characters on the screen.
IGN has a great example of this, from when they reviewed the first release of the princess bride.

scroll down the page, and they point out the difference.
Does no one remember history?
The fresh prince of bel-air did this before moving to bel-air...(he & jeff discussed it one day).
Unfortunately, he was keeping his schoolbooks in the box, not a laptop. Same principles apply. Someone stole the box, hoping for the pizza itself. I know at my job, the pizza would be considered more valuable than the laptop.
This rant is fan-freakin-tanstic!
I love this one line:
Your cell phone provider has food, and you can download free "open source" food from the mirrors!
thats great! rock on!
I'm not paying you to sing & dance. You just used up your bathroom break.
Or, my other favorite quote from the slurm episode:
So, I could fire my whole staff and hire grunka lunkas?
Yes, they think they have a good union, but they don't.
Yes...You can press and hold a button, and during that time, only members of your team will hear you. That way, you can coordinate attacks, plan strategy, etc.

Your logic has no place on slashdot.
I will say, however. Screw flanders

it applies to both...ign review was of the original, had a friend check his SE when we found out about it. Both exhibit the issue.

Why can't I name it linksys? I've got a dlink, I see no issue to naming it linksys. Oh, screw flanders.

Then, I could have seen this link, for the 30 seconds or so I'm assuming it was up before it died, and still come away wishing I had my minute back.
listen up meow. I don't want to hear anymore of this usb full speed, usb high speed talk from meow on.
I think we need to invade the dude on goatse.cx, because he apparently has WAD...Weapons of Ass destruction.

not all of them..the ones in my area stopped doing that recently, with no warning.
How could this not be moderated "funny"
I mean, cecil (brother from another series) is the true criminal mastermind of the family.
Do none of you understand this?
Dammit!
I'm sitting at lunch, someone with no caller ID calls my cell, and I get "Hi, this is lawrence, calling you from hampton VA...Can you hear me okay?"
Naturally, I respond with "NO", and then waited to hear what he said next.
Oddly enough, he hung up.
