The US, doesn't have laws protecting data acquisition. So the data existing is perfectly legit for them to posses. So, it would be retarded for agencies not to tap into this source of information...it provides them a low cost way to acquire data they need...even if their interested in a small subset it is still cheaper to acquire the data then collect it themselves.
If data is available and someone doesn't take advantage of it we call tehm stupid or ignorant. IF the governement uses available data we call it criminal....
This is not active privacy invading surveillance by the government. The is consolidating information from "publicly"/consented sources to look for trends. Consolidating legal and publicly available data is not invasion of privacy. These projects are forms of "passive surveillance", where we combine and consolidate information from a variety of already known sources to produce information that was not apparent before.
...o wait I don't have a tin hat on, and tin hats are in fashion right now on/.; time to watch this get modded down.
All infantry men from any CENTURY has carried ~75 lbs. As technology improves and things are miniturized we get more gear. The total weight a riflemen carries will never change, we will just get more useful equipment in that space.
I find a couple things interesting about that article:
1) "[The body armor] sits on a series of foam pads around the rib cage, so there's a 2.5-inch gap." The major problem with current armor is its bulk, not its weight. Pushing the armor out from the body 2.5 in. will have significant effects on mobility and functionality.
2) Zippers! Current uniforms do not have zippers, buttons and draw strings only. My understanding(I just use it, I don't design it) is this is to reduce injuries in high heat from explosions(metal melting on to the body is bad).
3) An improved integrated helmet is super critical...if they deliver a good helmet I don't give a damn about the rest.
However, what riflemen are looking forward to right now is the XM-8...a much better weapon then the M-16A2/M-4...hopefully we have it by 2006.
The photos were taken a substantial time before they were published. Yes technology helped transfer them very quickly...but the photos were taken months ago. Digital photography did not have much to do with the "speed" (or lack off) that they got published in.
You can feel all special that you are getting 125 showing in the game. But it doesn't matter. Lets break it down:
60 cycles per second
125 frames per second
The monitor only refreshes 60 times...you only get 60 new frames displayed. The remaining 65 frames never hit the screen they just get processed and tossed.
IT wil lall burn up in the atmosphere, and have no impact on earth, the reactor is small, the droplets are small. IT wasn't even that funny of a post:/.
