They also have mounts for standard digital cameras onto traditional scopes. You can use the viewfinder or digital screen to view through the sights.

There is a person on youtube that documents bird and squirrel hunting through the use of high speed video on a consumer digital camera: www.youtube.com/user/EdgunUSA/featured ... His videos are pretty amazing, very informative too.

Comment More than just a breathalyzer (Score 1) 706

It's way more than just a breathalyzer. From TFA:

Police will begin issuing fines in France from the beginning of November, and it's interesting that the required "kit" includes not just a working breathalyzer, but a range of accessories that we should, as good citizens, always carry on board a car anyway: a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and and spare bulbs for both headlights and blinkers.

Also compulsory fare will be a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest carried inside the car for every vehicle occupant. Failure to comply will cost another EUR90."

Not a bad idea, but pretty crazy for them to mandate. Also, are they allowed to search your trunk to see if you have these items??

And here they state their intentions about the breathalyzer:

With drink driving penalties being so much more costly than the "no breathalyzer" fine, the idea is that drivers will inevitably self-test before driving, even if they then risk a fine for no breathalyzer at a spot check - at least they'll be under the limit.

They are making some bold assumptions about drunks.

However, I did just get off the phone with Money Network (the company that manages the Google Prepaid card on Google Wallet. After speaking with them and doing a little reading, I discovered that the phone owner is not liable for fraudulent charges. You must notify them as soon as possible though (855-492-5538, toll free).

Faster-Than-Light Particle Results To Be Re-Tested 412

surewouldoutlaw writes "After the astonishing news from CERN that the OPERA experiment had detected neutrinos traveling faster than light speed, challenging Einstein's theory of special relativity, there has been some skepticism over the results. Now Fermilab, near Chicago, has announced it will attempt to replicate the experimental results within four to six months."
