They've had those rubber wires on streets for counting cars for over fifty years now, this same kind of thing would be nice for a trail, but I think a wireless tag would work best, so someone doesn't have to step on something and flora/fauna don't interfere.
My family and I were on vacation in the north-eastern United States a couple of years back. My dad wanted to check out the Three Mile Island vistor center, as he's a bionuclear physicist and is really geeked up over that kind of a thing. We had one of those Hertz rental cars with the GPS helper, so we checked and the visitor center was on there, so we told it to take us there. We pulled in where it told us to, into a street that wasn't much bigger than a driveway. Within a matter of moments we were boxed in by a few Humvees (not the street-legal models, the big should-have-treads things), and have guns pointed at us from all around. We're told very persistantly to slowly get out of the car and put our hands on the hood. We did so, they took our pictures, ran our fingerprints, called in two trucks full of troops to help the obviously overpowered platoon that was trying to keep a family of four under tight watch. Safeties were off, we were potential enemies. After an hour or so (and a search of us and the car) they let us go, told us to never came back, but were nice enough to point us in the direction of the -real- visitor's center. It was closed for the day -_-.
Most people are confusing 4000 DPI (dots per inch) with 4000 Lines Per Inch. A line could be any length, as the inch is only a measurement one way; this is one of those techniques for making something seem bigger and/or better than it really is (think weight loss commercials).
Whoever had the most resources could flood, "this product shown to be great!" If you sorted out duplicate posts they would go around that and truely important news items would be blocked as well, there's no real way to work around it. People go to CNN, and Reuters and the like for their name, they're reliable (more or less).
It gives something to stand on basically. Context can then be taken into account. Most good crypto systems were broken socially, with a person of importance being mentioned and then their name being run through the encrpted messages, or with a i/o machine being captured (ie: enigma in WW2).

I thought it was going to be called "No Hope of Being Good", it would tie in with ep4 nicely....
Active matrix organic light emitting diode displays... ARE MADE OF PEOPLE!
When 'hostname poop' isn't enough...
My first thought was "if I was doing something like this I wouldn't say anything on a news site" and my second thought was "oh... they'd know anyway".

Ironically, the creators of these systems are probably crying over this.
I wonder if he pirated any of the 'Hitman' games. Maybe he can plead insanity, Diana from the agency told him to do it!
Why are solar cells normally reflective? Wouldn't they be more effecient if they absorbed all light? Or are they functioning on a different spectrum?

What's that name? Monowheel! Say it again, Monowheel!
What would stop someone from creating a self-perpetuating super-disease?
Now with all of this outsourcing programmers are going to have to be ready to take jobs as janitors!
This thing was supposed to go up in the fifties, but has been repeatedly delayed, this is very old technology.

KKHHAANN!!
This is also one of the reasons why we're so edgy about sending probes to Io, we don't want to let our life destroy theirs without even knowing it.
If they're -that- hungry you'd think that they'd settle for some free spam.
APRIL FOOLS!!! Isn't Taco the big prankster?
at least they can't say we never got them anything
They forgot that Jupiter mission in '01!
It's that we need to crush any possible adversary. It's like killing a baby hitler... sooo easy...
Maybe now we will be able to see a difference between Hamlet and MacBeth.....
