#1 So could the Saudis use this tech somehow to improve Nayef's Boyz record in "surrounding" jihadis?

And, back to the cows, uh, what if enough of 'em get zapped at about the same time and they stampede toward the center? BBQ time?

Mucky's really gonna be pissed.

#2 Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Wi-Fi!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just point and click and brand 'em,
My laptop is nineteen inches wide.
C-P-U calculatin'
Cell modem is handshakin',
From the front seat of my S-U-V ride.

Move 'em on, link 'em up,
Link 'em up, go remote,
Go remote, head 'em out Wi-Fi!
Load 'em up, load 'em down,
F-T-P, zip 'em up,
Zip- 'em up, ride 'em in Wi-Fi!

See y'all later, I gots to download the back forty . . .

#6 The group has tested a static version of the virtual fence on 10 cows in a field in Vermont that was one square kilometre in size. They have only tested the moving version on a group of students.
"We have done this on a few research animals but it is not quite ready for prime-time," explains Butler. The technology appears to be working, but stimulus is not deterring the animal.

Somehow, for some party schools, this paragraph is strangely appropriate.

#10 Spot - Will that make PETA happy - or piss 'em off? Are these dogs "oppressed" because they are working dogs? Gosh, my PETA knowledge fount is dry! One thing I do, know is that those dogs go absolutely apeshit if they don't have something to herd. PETA'd prolly hire a doggie shrink and demand meds for 'em.

#15 Yeah, mucky, PETA cares so much that they executed 3500 homeless dogs last year. But it made 'em feel bad to do it, don't ya know... And that's what REALLY matters.

#16 Bruce Friedrich, Chairman of the Politboro of PETA calls for violence. Apparently applies to animals who eat meat as well (dogs).

Talk Show Host Dennis Prager's favorite question:
If a human or your dog was drowning, who would you save.

He only lets you say, "the animal", if the person drowning is a Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddahm, etc.

I'd Add Brucie.

WHO WOULD YOU SAVE?

#18 Mucky, its important to spay/neuter, that is true. But what do you, as a vegetarian, feed your dogs/cats?

#20 M4D - Well as a throwback who indulges in meat, I also feed all four of the "residents", 2 dogs, and 2 cats, beef, chichen, and fish. But you are right. Cats don't like veggies, but my German Shepherd likes to crunch on raw carrots. (Of course she prefers medium rare sirloin.)

So how did this thread go from virtual cattle fencing to this? Ha!
