Google "hat cam" click images, select "extra large images", and you'll see where it came from.<BR/><BR/>2:11-<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I understand it, either, but I know how it started. Back in March, I wrote a post <A HREF="http://lpd304.blogspot.com/2008/03/testing-icrime-theory.html" REL="nofollow">Testing the iCrime theory</A>. The second comment was from a reader named Chris. He had posted a message on an <A HREF="http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/05/is-the-ipod-responsible-for-national-crime-wave/1#c10838325<br/>" REL="nofollow">Apple forum</A> about my blog post. I checked the thread, and found that someone else had posted a link to a <A HREF="http://www.venganza.org/piratesarecool4.gif" REL="nofollow">graph </A>implying a relationship between global warming and the demise of pirates. The graph is making fun of the tendency of some research to confuse <I>correlation</I> with <I>causation</I>--sort of the same point I was making in my post.<BR/><BR/>From there, the pirate thing took on a life of its own. One or more regular readers of The Chief's Corner figured out a way to work pirates into about all of his, her, or their comments. The humor wore off a long time ago, but I have to admit that I was laughing out loud when I looked at the <A HREF="http://www.gamerevolution.com/oldsite/games/pc/action/sid_meier_pirates_keyboard.jpg" REL="nofollow">pirate keyboard</A> somebody linked in their comment in <A HREF="http://lpd304.blogspot.com/2008/05/tulips-up.html" REL="nofollow">Tulips up</A>.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-21270854012451274842008-05-13T14:26:00.000-05:002008-05-13T14:26:00.000-05:00Chief, What the heck were you doing at:www.pirate-...Chief, What the heck were you doing at:<BR/><BR/>www.pirate-movie-production.com<BR/><BR/>R you the real pirate tagger on your own site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-29886566583900764762008-05-13T14:11:00.000-05:002008-05-13T14:11:00.000-05:00Please let the rest of us in on the pirate thing, ...Please let the rest of us in on the pirate thing, dont get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-67718549389468403312008-05-13T13:54:00.000-05:002008-05-13T13:54:00.000-05:00I've got your hat cam.

The big problem in my mind is whether you'll have the resources (that means people and money) to support increasingly complex technology when it becomes a necessity, rather than a luxury. You need technical support, R&M, replacement and upgrade programs. This support often lags due to budget cuts or inability to keep up with growth.<BR/><BR/>It's one of the reasons I've been a foot-dragger on buying more (and more sophisticated) in-car video systems--with those comes a huge need for support that we just can't service without the resources, and we can't get the resources.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-41668716210530732008-05-13T05:50:00.000-05:002008-05-13T05:50:00.000-05:00If you were to make an educated guess, how many ye...If you were to make an educated guess, how many years will it be before a fingerprint can be scanned at the cruiser level, and quickly compared to a national database, (such as the IAFIS) for warrants across the nation? Would this require more wireless bandwidth than is currently available to most LE agencies, or have there recently been some improvements made in compressing the print data, or maybe reducing the quantity of data that needs to be compressed and transmitted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
