Sounds like a plan!

Blackwater was delegated law enforcement abilities by the state of Louisiana. It's a valid procedure as that right is specifically granted to each state. It's Constitutionally correct in any sense.

Louisiana has Open Carry anyway, so it's not like they needed a permit of any kind to walk around carrying arms. Class III (full auto) carry may very well be restricted to LEO, but I'm not a laywer.

I'm personally more worried about Operation FALCON style dragnets than a deputized group of contractors helping buff up a skeleton crew of police.

because I don't believe in censorship:

can't believe the level of whining in the comment section. wonder how many people "had their day wrecked by the mean/bad SS logo on Boingboing."

Sensitivity is for wireless equipment.

someone should make that all steampunky

would be cooler if it were a "Steampunk Delay clock made of exposed cogwheels"

this would be cooler if it were steampunk.

pfft, Edwardianpunk. It should be steampunk.

It would be cooler if it were steampunk.

it would be cooler if it were a steampunk badge to scan with a steampunk iphone

YES! MOAR STEAMPUNK PLEASE!

good luck breaking my home theater! it's all steampunk! ha!

would be cooler if he was a steampunk elvis sculpture

maybe they should play steampunk keyboards

now we can 3d print some steampunk stuff

If only it were steampunk

it's not interesting unless it's steampunk

400 USD? You could buy a real gun for that much money, even in England.

I have to say, I didn't make the SS connection until I viewed the comments.

Regarding the likelihood of a person being able to push over the robot-
Not to imply that you are physically weak or anything, but even when I was very out of shape, I could deadlift 250lbs 10-20 times pretty easily. A top-heavy 300lb robot would seem like an easy target.

I love it when people use argumentum ad personam.

Kudos to #19,15 & 13 for not being retards about ballistics.

Box O' Truth will forever change the way you look at bullet penetration.

It will just be a matter of time before the developers figure out how to make the Linux apps work with the new-gen iPods.

Kyle, I think a Mac suits you well. Your Linux problems are most certainly due to IO errors.
