Sounds like this could be an electronic Watergate opportunity for whichever party is in power, unless there are exemptions made.
In addition, imagine the blackmail that could take place:
"Senator X, here's copies of your email from your AOL account to Ms/Mr Y. We'd *really* appreciate your vote for our PATRIOT IX bill. And by the way, want to know what your opponents strategy is in the next election?"
The extra weight of the clothing is offset by not having to carry the extra batteries. So it shouldn't place anymore weight on the troop. I know it's much more convenient for me to wear a loaded photographers vest than it is to carry the bag. Same weight, but the distribution of that weight on your shoulders feels much better at the end of the day.
My concerns are these.
What's this vest made of? If a trooper takes a bullet through the vest, what type of stuff from the vest is going to follow the bullet into the body?
If this shirt is meant to be worn under armor then what impact does the constraint of being sandwiched between the body and the armor have on the overall effectiveness of the shirt?
If the shirt is meant to be worn over the armor, is there any redundancy to the power generation when the shirt takes a hit? With batteries, the trooper could always ask a buddy for a spare battery. Asking for the shirt from your buddies back, in combat, would probably be looked on negatively.
...except I believe it was a Canadian "anonymous reader who bought the Swag Bag AND the Low UID", so you've gotta select a different option other than "[X] I'm Canadian and not represented by the EFF in any which way shape or form".
Not sure what State/Country you reside in but Illinois, this patients behavior would/should have been picked up by one of the automated systems at the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. (OASA)
It's been years, but IIRC, when you wrote the prescription, you would have filled out a "triplicate" form, which was required to fill the Rx from an in state MD. Out of state MDs caused the pharmacy to fill out a different form when filling most controlled substance Rxs'.
OASAs systems should have picked up this patients behavior and automatically placed them on a watch list. In this patients case, the data would have been shipped off to the State Police for investigation. Another way to trigger the system was to fill Rxs a distance from where they were prescribed.
Of course the system also watches MDs as well for out of pattern behavior. (Sudden increases in Rxs, excessive Rxs in comparison to other MDs in the specialty, etc) will place the MD on a "watch list" for extra scrutiny.
IIRC, data was kept by the system from '74 forward and all of the data was collected when referring a case for investigation.
In the 50's and 60's most cars had no problem maintaining 55mph since the general speed limit was 70mph (at least in the mid-west). You also got to drive your 70mph on a two lane with rather narrow lanes and no shoulders and usually a much larger car. Were the cars designed as well as today? Heck no.
As the interstates came to be, you got wider lanes, straightened and banked curves, flattened mountain driving, etc.
For fun, take your vehicle on a drive down old Rt66 through Missouri and envision doing so back in the days of manual steering, manual brakes, a column shifter, poor headlights, no airbags (and a steel dash), not likely to have seatbelts, no air conditioning, bias ply tires, etc. Have fun.
I had lived in Fairfax. Walked 1/2 block, caught Que Bus for $0.25 from near GMU to Vienna Metro. On return, pick up bus voucher at the top of the escalator in Metro, Que Bus ride home is free.
I recently (Aug 13th) purchased a home in SW Virginia. The house I purchased has access to cable, dsl and is in Verizon's wireless range. In a few years, I should have town ran fiber to hook in to.
This was not our first choice in homes in the area. Our first choice was listed as having cable available, but turned out that only satellite was available.
For the house I purchased, I ordered a cable installation and had my installation date fixed well before the closing date.
...people with an above average IQ are going to be labeled as "nerds".
You should go to the next Mensa recruitment drive in your area. You will find your "nerds" among stevedores, felons, writers, carpenters, etc.
Mensa membership requires only that your scores on an accepted test be in the top 2%. (Along with an application fee and annual dues.)
Interestingly enough, I had the pleasure of having to print, sign, and have notarized some legal documents the other day. I suppose I could have signed the document with my private key and had my wife sign with her private key, but just the thought of having the Notary put the seal on the document with that crimping tool made me fear that my LCD would perform pretty listlessly afterward.
Having done contract work for the USPTO for a number of years, I can assure you they do not lack people who speak Korean. Doesn't mean they looked at the Korean patent though.
I remember signing up with WorldsAway for a couple of months back in 98/99.
I won $1K for answering one of the silly questionnaires. Didn't know it until some someone online told me. A couple of weeks later, the check arrived and was promptly cashed. I left WA shortly afterward.
I used to have 2 different numbers. Same information used on the application. The difference? One was applied for while I lived in Japan (American Samoa prefix), the other while I lived in New Mexico (NM prefix).
When I went into the military, I used the NM prefix and have ever since.

Hmm. Guessing you're from the Leeland Road area.
I also rode the VRE from Fredericksburg to Crystal City for several years until:
It started taking me 45 minutes to an hour to get home from the train station (8 miles) after the 1:15 ride on the train.
I found that car pooling from CC to F'burg was taking anywhere from 55 minutes to 1:10 leaving me with a 1 mile commute @35mph afterwards.
I moved away from the area this summer and do not commute any more.
Yes, back in the old days, the phone was locked in to a provider.
You could modify the phones by doing some slight rewiring to get your GTE phone to work on ATT's lines or vice-versa.

ThousandStars--
Thanks for posting what I read as a well thought out post.
It's nice to see that there are still some people that have compassion for their fellow man.

From what I've seen, they have.
how low they'll stoop?
Only it won't be the battery getting slimmed down.
Notice that we're talking about TWO entities charged with what appears to be the same mission:
1. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
2. Defense Research and Engineering Office
Why aren't these entities combined?

That's the old saying, new saying is:
Arrrrrr! Shiver me femurs!
You have 2 more wishes.
Costco is/was using a company called Dry Creek Photo for "Professional" printing. You can download ICC profiles from Dry Creek.
One of your other wishes might be used on logging into Costco.com as a professional photographer. (I don't remember how.)
She has to work the off the bill in her parents retail business...
after she gets back from her 10 day trip to Morocco...
And yes, the parents have bought into the unlimited texting plan also.
