Weird quote of the week, from the article: "As another note, dog hearing can cover the 20-35 KHz range, so the ultrasound engine may be able to detect static dogs by making them non-static, after which they will cause a Doppler shift." So what's a static dog? Rust me wants a &'static dog, Java me wants a static final dog. And I also want a real dog named Doppler, or maybe just Shift?

It’s a goofy joke. The human detection uses ultrasonic audio outside of human auditory range. However, dogs can hear those frequencies, so the computer chirping is going to make a resting (static) dog jump or run away, making it non-static.

  This is going to backfire.
