Build Your Own Stun Gun

I suppose its possible that "some" cameras have the right hardware inside to make this. However, personal experience leads me to believe that there are cameras which will deliver just enough shock to piss someone off even more.
In fixing a rather nice digital camera a while back, I just happened to touch the wrong wire and... ZAP!!!
Ouch? Yes. A knockout? Definately not. Confusing, especially since the batteries werent in the thing. Put it back together, tried it, ended up charing the thing again. Took it apart again. Discovered another wrong spot to touch... ZAP!
Equally painful the second time, but still no knockout... That time I ended up throwing the thing in a brief hand spasm which resulted in it landing on my leg and... oh no..
ZAP! That was number 3 and damn I hated that thing but it was still just painful and nothing like a stun gun should deliver.
Heck. Not even as bad as picking up a damp laptop battery and having it discharge into you. That'll make your arm numb for hours;)

The difference, is something I've had to deal with at various jobs.
Although I can after seeing a person for quite some time (several hours or meeting/talking with them 5-6 times for an hour or more) I can keep their face and name in memory, I cannot do this on a short term basis.
Example. I've worked in a grocery store and a K-Mart. People will often stop you to ask where something is, and, if the item is out, you have to go check in the back for them. When people would ask me for something, and I'd have to go to the back, I'd have a problem finding them if they moved from the time I left to the time I came back. Half the time, I would be lucky enough that either the person didnt move, was waiting for me and spoke up, or was wearing some ungodly horrible color of clothing that I could instantly identify and find. The other half of the time, the person was wearing something dull and wandered off a little way and I would have no chance to recognize them unless they came back to me.
Really, its a pain in the ass to be that way, as your always wondering if your going to find the right person when you get back from something. But its nothing you cant live with... I'd imagine it'd be horrible for it to get worse and not recognize family...
Your right. I don't think I could subject even a computer to that kind of torture. Might get stuck in a infinite loop. Perhaps it'd just explode... then again, it might just take days to determine both pictures seem identical:)
Someone send two photo's of George Bush. One of his face, one of his ass. Its time to prove even our most sophisticated computer can't tell the difference.;)
I agree. Your post is complete idiocy. Good label.
The.1& that survives isnt resistant, its just what the cleaner didnt reach and kill. Not making anything stronger by using antibacterial soap.:)
$455 a week=$1820 a month=$21840 per year=$12847 more than I made last year, or any of the previous 4 years.
In some low income areas, 21840 is a hell of a lot of money. For IT? sure, its crap, but its probably just the slow swing of the economy as everyone notices we have 50 times more people trained for everything than we actually need...

"Don't know which world you are in when you say number portability was nothing new and they should have been able to get the job done. "
And I don't know what world your in? Number portability is DEFINATELY nothing new. You mean to say that every time an AT&T customer decided they wanted a newer, better cell phone, they had to get a whole new number because they couldnt have the number switched over to the new phone?
Never gotten a new phone and been asked if you want to check if the same 4 digits as your home phone are open?
Gee, that's news to me. And its also pretty pathetic if you didnt know companies could set the number to anything the felt like in 5 minutes time and a couple phone calls.
The only thing stopping the companies from doing this from the beginning is that it might mean they lose a few customers. All the hardware/software had to already be in place for keeping numbers working for their current customers.
How about a list of things wrong with your post instead?
1.) Linux has plenty of great fonts, it just depends what distro you pick and if you install more than just the base packages. 2.) DirectX is a MICROSOFT ONLY format. It will never, ever, be in any linux distro except in emulation form. And for second, why should it be? OpenGL is fine and great, and with 2.0 coming out you can stuff DirectX where the sun don't shine. 3.) Great, so linux gets to turn into Windows by taking away the free choice of picking your own gui? I don't think so! MORON.
Maybe this project doesnt "Fill the gap" but there's enough decent distro's out there to make using windows a pain in the a$$
Does any else rememeber the stupid text highlighting popup tosser that used to install along with things like gator? It used to highlight words in anything you read on the computer, making them hyperlinks to advertisements related to the words...
"Perhaps if you have no sense of what it means to serve your country in the first place, you ought to strongly consider moving to Canada, or some third world country where you belong."
Perhaps you'd better move there instead. As a "free" country includes the "freedom" to decide for yourself that you would never make it in a war, that you would never kill another person, would never use a gun, or perhaps that you belong to a religion which preaches peace at all costs and feel like wars are pointless.
This country may be free because a few wars were fought and won, but that's not a reason to push someone who wont fight into one.
And maybe you should actually check things like this before you post them. Since it even says in the install page for 2.6.3 (This is a stable release, even though its labled as gentoo-dev-sources)
"Linux is a hobbyist system, impossible for the vast majority of users to safely configure and operate.

Yes, we all know how hard it is to stick the "Live Eval" cd into the drive, then reboot and be in a fully working linux system... must be terrible for most users to try this...
Not happy with live eval that auto-detects and would do email and internet virus free?
Fine. Stick in a copy of Suse, or Mandrake.
Reboot.
If the average user cant follow along with clicking "Next" and what software you want by checking the box next to the catagory (games, internet, advanced, multimedia, security, science)... then the average user doesnt belong using the computer in a first place because their a moron.
3 Situations actually... 1..
You take off too fast and kill the car as your pulling through an intersection... Can you restart the car and take off? Nope... gotta wait 30 seconds by which time the light has changed 1 or 2 times and everyone is staring at you, in the middle of the intersection... all because of a stupid device...
2
Your car stalls on railroad tracks... a train is coming. Thanks to this device, you cant start your car no matter what you try because theirs a 30 second start up time...
3
Your a single woman... man.. teenager... whatever, in the year 2009...
Your in the parking lot, heading for your vehicle, and you notice someone is following you... You run to your car, they run after... you jump in, turn the key and... nothing... Why nothing? Because even though you have never once driven drunk, and you werent even anywhere near a place you could drink, you have to wait 30 seconds longer to start the car because someone put a stupid device into it... and so, the person who was chasing you catches up, axe murders or rapes you or otherwise, and all because they decided to fuck up a perfectly good ignition system... Sounds nice doesnt it?
Switches! Bah, who could afford switches! We had to directly cross the terminals with our fingertips every time we wanted it to do anything! Heck of a shock but good training not to do anything wrong...
"100 Licences for $4800 US.....???"
Uhuh, sure. Now take off 100% of the Operating system costs, take out all expenses for future software upgrades, and take out all expenses for tech calls to fix the computer when windows inevitable crashes...
Does 4800 still sound that bad?
I think maybe an armed group of security gaurds wearing shirts that say "You steal, we shoot" Might be more effective.:D
Just picture someone begging for their life over a snickers bar when the little door buzzer goes off...
Nearly fall out of my chair when I see people talking about 200k for just a house... are you people fricken nuts! 200k can get me a 650+ acre farm with the house, sheds garages and even some of the machinery! Dang.. 200k for a house.. rediculous.
Obviously if you get scanned you'd be able to find out on what frequency... small battery or capaciter, maybe a solar panel for recharge, make it into a tie or cuff pin or some piece of jewlery, whenever it recieves that frequency.. "BAM!" wastes all its energy blasting out random serial numbers on the proper frequency and leaves the database worthless...
Been there. Done that. Took a train ride out of the place for fun. Its a huge town. And its on the US border, with a 6 lane crossing bridge and all. The streets are almost all one way.. nice peaceful place.
