For the cat lady??

Yeah, I've gotta give that one to him.

What out Steve. Kurt sounds pretty enthusiastic about the opportunity. But at least you'll know what's up when you see him walking towards you carrying a beer, biscuit and silly grin.

I think the expression Kurt would get out of me would match the last look of that Bullwinkle on US75 in Kansas.....

Ahhhhh...I meant that Steve wins the best breakfast contest. But reading it back again, that's pretty funny.

Australia Deploys Noise Cameras

State governments across Australia are poised to deploy automated cameras that mail tickets to vehicles considered by a machine to be noisy. The fully automated noise camera systems have been in development since 2005 but are now are active and issuing warning notices in the small New South Wales suburb of Mount Ousley, according to the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) Annual Report. The agency is looking for a regulatory means of making such ticketing solutions more common.

"The RTA is contributing to the development of the 'Planning Guideline for Residential and other Sensitive Building Developments alongside Major Roads,'" the RTA report explains. "This will include requirements to address noise for new residential development along nominated roads and rail corridors.... RTA continues to develop technology in the form of a suitable noise camera to use as an enforcement device."

The fully automated noise analysis system designed by the NSW firm Acoustic Research Laboratories uses a set of microphones and cameras that continuously record and analyze activity on a neighborhood street. A computer program processes the audio data to isolate trigger sounds from general background road noise. This allows the device find opportunities to mail a traffic citation to passing vehicles that exceed a predetermined noise threshold. Once configured, the machine will generate up to 10,000 tickets before the on-board hard drive is filled. A 10-second video and audio clip is stored for each incident for use in court proceedings.

South Australia and Victoria have begun similar programs with each state focusing on the noise of heavy commercial truck compression brakes, an issue designed to court local approval of the ticketing technology.

"In parallel with the development of the acoustic measurement methodology, Transport South Australia has developed camera technology that can be linked with the measurement software," Australia's National Transport Commission reported. "The combination of these systems offers the potential for excessive engine brake noise incidents to be identified and recorded, which may provide a useful tool to enforcement agencies."

The commission approved the regulation against engine compression brakes last November. The ticketing system can also be easily expanded to issue citations for loud subwoofers, noisy exhausts, or even an inopportune honk of the horn.

Big brother, making one more step toward constant surveillance. But what if a pedestrian stood under the camera with an air horn and just randomly blasted it off as traffic passed?

Oh goodness no.

I called Orkin when there was one wasp setting up shop on my porch. If I saw this thing in my apartment, I'd just up and move.

I just noticed that for 80% of the top ten posters on this board, this is their most active topic.

I also just re-read the entire thread over. I am, sad to say, the most guilty of bringing it back on topic.

Dude, that's clockspider. Limecat battled clockspider before time, in the battle one of clockspider's legs was cast into the sky and became the god worshiped by humanity. You need to be up on your theology Christine.. geeeze.

Children, gather 'round. This is the story of a time long ago. A time when Limecat ruled the universe and Clockspider challenged the rule of Limecat. It was during the Epic Battle of the Clockspider Apocalypse that Limecat, with his Helmet O’Green, also called “The Mystic Rind,” that Limecat heroically snared the ninth leg of Clockspider as it rent bangs into his helmet and cast the still-quivering leg into the heavens to become the god of other internet religions. Limecat is a difficult master, and stares unceasingly at his acolytes from the monitor. We would would all face our doom from the scowl of Limecat if it weren’t for Pancake Bunny, patron saint of silence. During the war, adherents of Limecat and Clockspider chanted mantras to their deity and curses upon their foe until none of it made any sense. That is when one person shouted above the din, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, so here’s a bunny with a pancake on its head.” Blessings be to Pancake Bunny! The war was declared over! But is it? Some say that only time will tell because Clockspider is currently growing a new leg for his next battle with Limecat!

Wow... My life is changed.

I want to worship Limecat too. Where do I send all my money? And do they have a Kindergarten for Robert.
