What's really sad, is that we're sitting around analyzing the efficiency of (possibly armed) burglary.
Anyway... back to the video... it looks like they've been in the store before, and cased it before the robbery. They knew what to take and where it was located. In addition, they didn't waste time on the power cables (so it appears). Also, they had some brains and covered their faces/heads. Just a little harder to find them on the streets.
You then have people making transactions of questionable legality...
Of course, placing a low-tech "Do not use, fake ATM, will steal your information" sign could have worked just as well, and then do as the OP mentioned, place surveillance on the unit.
1. For neighboring towns, we have each other's frequencies available on our own radios.
I work for a local two-way radio shop and this happens all the time. But this isn't what they're meaning.
If you have a VHF system, you cannot talk to someone on UHF... period. With the Thales' radio, you can, it has multiple bands built inside the radio.
I remember seeing this last year in a "what's new and upcoming" in a trade magazine, and they mentioned it could have VHF (136-174 Mhz) UHF1 (405-430 Mhz), UHF2 (450-520 Mhz), 700 Mhz band, and 800 Mhz band all in one radio.
So, if you as a firefighter runs on VHF, but the local PD runs 800 Mhz, you could both talk to eachother assuming one party had one of these radios.
2. When operating more distantly, we use a state wide non-repeated frequency for larger incidents to cover the incident scene, while operations command will use their repeated systems to communicate out to dispatch or with other agencies.
Again, this assumes everyone is in the same RF band. See above.
So how do you take the approved textbook into a restricted-text exam?
At levels lower than High School, there probably won't be a need for this. Heck, even at the High School level, there probably isn't a need for this.
How do you make notes in the margin?
Use Notepad (or better yet, Notepad++)
Are you supposed to print out relevant parts and bring them to use in class?
Yes, or have the teacher print out relevant part...
When you're finished with it, can you re-sell it if you don't need it?
Only at the college level does the student own the book... the license to the book should stay with the school.
One more thing, if the book is online, and several states go for the same idea, you could have a truely open textbook standard that could impact the entire nation, allowing every school district in the US the same materials.
Ok, supposing I'm a single person software developer, and I decide to sell software (aka "a Digital Download").
With this law I would have to flag any Wisconsin residents, collect sales tax from them, and send it to Wisconsin.
How is this going to work if I'm in a different state... Barring any presence, and interstate commerce, etc... I'm not a bloody resident of Wisconsin... what would happen if I just said F. O. to Wisconsins' tax collectors? Obviously I wouldn't go there to vacation anymore.
Now, one step further, what happens if I was a resident of another Country?
Heh... the tag "goodluckwiththat" is entirely correct.
I read this article a few hours ago from Drudge... and while the article may be 100% accurate and irrefutable, there was another article that was also on there, also published today:
Certainly, in the past few decades, CO2 has risen. And, for the past 650,000 years, it has been fluctuating, but topped out around 360ppm. Though if you go back even further, you'll see that CO2 has been much higher (see pg 23) than recent times. One has to question what is the optimal level for the Earth? Is it now... at 385ppm, or in pre-historic times at over 1000ppm?
By using 7g of CO2 emissions per search, the article really gives such a vague scare of global warming. By my interpretation, we should shut down that evil CO2 emitter, at least thats what they are implying. Alternatively, just create a new tax obviously, this will reduce levels... somehow.
Well... you can get either straight keys.. which are more like the telegraph key. Or you can go with a stylish new iambic model.
http://www.vibroplex.com/... the makers of "telegraph" keys... but of course, you would have to string up some telegraph wires before you can use them.
OTOH... just fire up your trusty, "off-the-grid" Ham radio...
It's unfair that people are able to sell their assets without generating any profit for the manufacturer.
It's equally unfair that you're cutting the State Government out of sales tax revenue as well... remember... Joe Biden said it's "Patriotic to pay taxes"

... men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests ...
In other news, posters who don't spend even a few minutes re-reading their posts tend to have POORER grammar.
Liskula Cohen was the blogger, right?
No, actually Liskula Cohen was the model-skank-ho ...
The blogger is Rosemary Port. I'm not sure if she is a skank-ho or not, Liskula Cohen hasn't blogged about it yet ...
Democracy isn't cheap.
Good thing we don't live in a Democracy. However, we're tending that way all the time.
Regarding live performances, you have to realize that many bands aren't exactly sober when they play.
That's the reason to go see them ... it's like going to a Nascar event for the crashes.

I guess maybe it wouldn't have made the same impact ...

Is that anything like Super Adventure Club?

TROLL????? WTF?
I dunno who modded you as a troll, I personally found it pretty funny. Only if I had some mod points now ...
This story reminds me of "Long-Term Capital Management" story back in the late 1990's.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management
These guys did the EXACT same thing using computer models to predict what funds they should be investing in so that they never have a loss ...
Unfortunately, they were bailed out, but folded in 2000.
http://www.geocities.com/eureka/concourse/8751/jurus/hf100203.htm
There was a PBS special about these guys and the computer models they used.

So, if they are found guilty, what's to stop "interest groups" from going after gun manufacturer's next saying that they are enabling criminals?
Taking this one step further ... I could then go after the RIAA for "disturbing music" like Gangsta Rap and such.
And don't forget to go include MPAA for ANY of these movies ... it will drive a normal person to commit multiple acts of violence.
Aww, c'mon .... I just got my Karma Positive ...
It's a good thing America got rid of slavery, well at least out of sight out of mind. No one hears the whip crack in Walmart, but it's cracking.
Out of sight? Well, I guess so when you're assuming there's a problem.

The question is .... would they take it?
I read this article a few hours ago from Drudge ... and while the article may be 100% accurate and irrefutable, there was another article that was also on there, also published today:
Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
I'm not sure if the left hand knows exactly what the right hand is doing ... but to me, it seems like two completely different scenarios.
Obviously, the earth has cooled before ... and it's warmed up before. Nobody is disputing this fact.
Certainly, in the past few decades, CO2 has risen. And, for the past 650,000 years, it has been fluctuating, but topped out around 360ppm. Though if you go back even further, you'll see that CO2 has been much higher (see pg 23) than recent times. One has to question what is the optimal level for the Earth?

As far as a solution for the "global warming" problem ... I'll have to think about it while I turn up the heat in the house while I shovel snow outside.
BTW, yes I do know that Weather != Climate ... but currently, it is just fsck'n cold.
Yeah this crazy rumor ...
Of course when its on Oregon's Site it gives it a little more teeth.
From the site:
We cannot view the brain as a simple modular system, which merely needs a circuit diagram drawn to discover its mysteries.
So, what you're saying is that the brain is like a series of tubes ...
Anyone know where I can get a new telegraph key?
Well ... you can get either straight keys .. which are more like the telegraph key. Or you can go with a stylish new iambic model.

Don't forget ... there's an election in the US in 16 days ...
It's also quite possible that she abused her power to try and get her former brother-in-law fired.
Don't forget to gloss over the fact that HE TASERed his 10 y.o. stepson ...
