I don't know. On the other hand, the industry has gotten a lot better at reusing connections and being backwards-compatible. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, I believe. Serially attached SCSI uses the same connection as SATA. We haven't moved beyond 24 pin motherboard power connectors for ages. The new SDXC standard still accepts regular SD cards. The examples go on and on.

I wouldn't trust Slashdot with the stolen handbags and cars that I stole because I got introduced to peer-to-peer filesharing at a very early age.

Samsung Laser hater here. Spent all of yesterday trying to set up a CLP-315W on wireless and following their directions failed since my printer, which could see my neighbor's SSIDs but not my own, did not have "wireless capabilities."

Gave up and had to call tech support to find out I had to set it up on ethernet first, put all the wireless info in (manually), disconnect the ethernet, wait 5 minutes for it to realize what happened, then FINALLY have it work. Needless to say, I won't be buying samsung again.

I didn't RTFA, but I think it's always good to take things with some skepticism.

That sounds like a fair point. What about a distance limit, then? For example, you can't film within 15 meters of a crime scene or a policeman. That way, you don't bring danger to yourself or to strangers by bringing the camera uncomfortably close to the subject, but you can catch clear abuses of power.

I could have done that same research with $200 worth of drugs.

Not necessarily. Maybe you're just not patient enough? :)

This is where I stopped reading.

Clearly, the only solution is to have everyone speaking on speakerphone. That way, no attention is drained since you're listening to the entire conversation.

You do realize you just volunteered yourself to take one for the team if a cougar ever approaches a group of your friends, right?
