I didn't even know a minor could be a sex offender.
That's what I was saying earlier. If he did something bad enough to actually be charged underage with a sex crime, and it not be on a sealed juvenille record, then what the hell is he doing back in a high school?
The high-school administration's jumping to defend him before the kid could walk away after putting up the posters combined with this suggest locally-important mommies and daddies.
See, this is why I fucking hate things as much as I do... shit like this (not you VC, just that what you said rings true)

I am guessing they didn't know. As I said Washington state has a problem with losing sex offenders. Our tracking methods are off and recent cases have proven that is to the detriment of communities these guys are in.
How do you loose a sex offender......? That really sucks....
There have been a few set-top speaker arrays produced lately that shoot your multichannel sound in beams off at the points on your wall or ceiling that would correspond to surround speakers.

No it doesn't. You just think it does because you're delusional.

Dude, imagine the spam with that hypno brain ray thing...

I think he's trying to say that many science fiction authors had different views of the future. If he had to pick which future would come true, it wouldn't be philip k. dick's.
But someone, who's choice dictated the future, picked philip k. dick.

how am I delusional that I agree with you that it was probably high profile parents, and I hate that?
There have been a few set-top speaker arrays produced lately that shoot your multichannel sound in beams off at the points on your wall or ceiling that would correspond to surround speakers.
This sounds like a great idea
This is one They're not cheap at the moment, but if the tech takes off it should come down in price. The DSP work isn't all that difficult, especially with low-bandwidth stuff like audio.
Man, if I got to choose which Sci-Fi author from the 60's was going to be correct about the future I would not have picked Phillip K. Dick.
But some bastard obviously did.
?
Hidden speakers that beam ads directly to your ears, mentioned above.
Most of his books are just rambling, interspersed with horrifying ways that future ad agencies will fuck with you.
And, you know, sex offender databases.
That too. The second I have to argue with my refrigerator I'm just going to end it all. I don't want to live in that future. Why couldn't Asimov be right?
I could deal with a future of logical-inconsistency based murder-bots.

How do you tell it where to aim the different beams?

The product description sounds like it does a self-assessment by scanning around. I've heard of manually adjusting the direction though.

Oh shits, it's reuben time! Ooh, and it's Thursday! Thursday reubens are my favorite.
do you eat Reubens every day? if so, you've got to have some bad heartburn built up by now, with all that dressing and kraut and corned beef....... mmmmmmm... beeeef.....
And nobody from Mars has come to grace us with his presense and crazy water rituals.
Wait, that was Heinlein. Shit, I'm getting my sci-fi schlock confused.
I quite like the idea of a Heinlein future. At least the Stranger in a Strange land/Future history stuff. Not so much the Starship Troopers stuff. Though their combat suits were pretty bitchin'.

Yeah, I'm reading through -- the image at the bottom of the page is a really strange way to present what the sound is doing, though (on right):
I wonder if the depth of sound is the same as a traditional set up (with a subwoofer, etc)

Me too.
Totally.
Seriously though, are they making a sequel to that one? I had no idea.
Not really. It does look rather funny, so I'm with Dyna.

Hahaha, no. No sequel there.

Thank god.

What specifically are you referring to?
I am not safe

Only if you tell me what the hell that is?
I'm guessin if flying cars are invented only a elite few would have them so they could fly all over us.

Mostly the part where you agree with me.
They are required to register their place of residence. The state doesn't actively check they are still there, guy falls off the "grid" as it were.
