Texas Lawmaker Wants To Let the Blind Hunt 647

Posted by kdawson from the don't-shoot dept.
IHC Navistar writes with a story from Reuters Oddly Enough. A Texas lawmaker has introduced a measure that would allow blind people to hunt any game that sighted people can currently pursue. The article notes that the bill may have clear sailing in the hunting-besotted state of Texas. An education outreach person from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department explained it this way: "A blind person can shoot a rifle by mounting an offset pistol scope on the side of the rifle instead of on top. This allows their companion behind them to peer over their shoulder and help them sight it, but the blind person can pull the trigger."

Journal Journal: Xbox 360 for one of my Slashdot friends 3

Journal by Work Account

Hi all.

I have an extra Xbox 360 Core system that I would rather sell to one of my Slashdot friends than some random dude on an auction site.

Email your best offer in the $700 range to me at upstandingpatriot@yahoo.com

I also request that whoever gets it from me sends a pic back of you or your kid playing it so I get some joy out of the hours I stood waiting in line in the cold while sick :)

Get your priorities straight people!

Clearly we need another post about it!

So in case you missed it the last four times...

Who modded this interesting? this is such a troll!!

In advertising, why would it make any sense for Microsoft to make ads IE specific? Advertising is about reaching as many people as possible with relevant ads. M$ are money grubbers, not just power-mongers.

Personally, I hope the parent is right, because the one thing that it is hard for my adblock in firefox to block is the google adwords. If M$ did use active-x that would completely eliminate the problem for me :).

But it won't happen. If you have been reading /. recently MS has been coming out with new AJAX based technologies that work cross platform/browser. Take a look at their new home page previously referred to here on /. I dare say it is a lot nicer than Googles, feature-wise.

So maybe Microsoft is waking up and realizing that if they are going to compete with Google, they are going to have to abandone their "Windows is the only OS" model.

I hope they do, competition is ALWAYS good.
