Slashdot Mirror

The airport is located in Covington, KY (which gives the airport its code, CVG) and begrudgingly associates itself with Ohio and Cincinnati, which is about 10 miles away and across the river. Amazon already has a number of facilities in Covington and Erlanger down by the airport (completely in Kentucky) and there's a lot of capacity as Delta winds down operations, so this isn't too surprising.

Little bit of history about the airport: http://www.wcpo.com/news/our-community/from-the-vault/from-the-vault-why-cincinnatis-airport-is-in-kentucky-70-years-after-first-flights/

I moved here a few years ago. It's a very weird area.

As long as people value the ephemeral bargain of the markdown, instead of the actual product value, this retail trick will never die.

Give me a single solid example - voter validation leaves a paper trail, so the evidence should be easy to come by.

Utter BS!

What paper trail? You walk in, say you are Joe Blow, live at a given street, make your mark and you get a ballot... the only way you know that this was done fraudulently is if the real Joe Blow comes in later to vote and told that he already did... which mathematically wouldn't always happen depending on how well a fraudulent voter picked their targets.

Want cases of people who were told they already voted? Here are a couple:

And even from Scotland: http://www.itv.com/news/update...

At the end of the day, so long as you keep your mouth shut (unlike this woman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ) you probably aren't going to get caught: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local... as you don't exactly see many cameras in polling stations synced up to when given names are scratches off as having voted.

This all assumes it's hard to get someone else's ballot, (spoiler: it isn't): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Well... they need to drive interest since they just laid off some 160 people from their West Chester, Ohio plant.

I know about this since I live very close by.

This is today's news, released as "Popular senior denied diploma because of too much cheering"

The sad part is the kid of color can hardly read the reason for his denial.

This kid's apparently a football star, the very example used in the 80's to better the education system.

Whatever is being done now isn't working. Learning by making is sure worth a try in some areas.

Maybe next there will be a slashdot story telling me that buying my TV from Rent-A-Center is a bad deal, or that Montel Williams Money Mutual Loans might not be such a good deal??? Duh?

Actually, compared to those deals hawked by Troy Aikman, Hulk Hogan, and Montel Williams, the Microsoft deal isn't so bad a ripoff. Some finance guy could probably tell us the interest rate--might be less than a credit card?

See this story for more detail on the museum's choice of actor to play Adam, and his real life sexual exploits.

I noted with some interest the discovery of that IED in Cincinnati:

From what little of the description there is, I don't think silly string would have been much help. It sounded like an incindiary, and was placed under a freeway overpass. I'd guess it used a timing mechanism rather than a trip wire.

Which brings up a point... silly string is great at detecting wires, but likely not so great at detecting pressure switches.

Some articles to think about in the upcoming election:

Jon Kyl Rick Renzi J.D. Hayworth John Doolittle Richard Pombo Brian Bilbray Marilyn Musgrave Doug Lamborn Rick O'Donnell Christopher Shays Vernon Buchanan Joe Negron Clay Shaw Bill Sali Peter Roskam Mark Kirk Dennis Hastert Chris Chocola John Hostettler Mike Whalen Jim Ryun Anne Northup Geoff Davis Michael Steele Gil Gutknecht Michele Bachmann Jim Talent Conrad Burns Jon Porter Charlie Bass Mike Ferguson Heather Wilson Peter King John Sweeney Tom Reynolds Randy Kuhl Robin Hayes Charles Taylor Steve Chabot Jean Schmidt Deborah Pryce

According to this link, the score is 17 american vs 4 russian deaths. Ok, ok... 14 americans have died in just two accidents. But, either way, it's two russian accidents vs 3.

Check floating isn't the same thing as expecting delays in check cashing.

Wrong.

In 2004 a law known as "Check 21" was passed and put into action.

Please read up on what check floating is and what the law "Check 21" does.

Under new law, floating checks no longer float
New law sinks 'check floating' practice

I've waited for such precision. I have the requisite sub-30ms pings between work and home.
No more wondering if I forgot to turn off the pan of hard boiled eggs that I left out for lunch.

My alternative, of course, is the realtime monitoring of the local fire department.

Actually, they can be. Cincinnati is getting ready to institute speeding cameras, and the expected revenue is $12 million per year. Some members of the city council are looking at this specifically as a revenue source to help balance the city budget.

Nothing to see here, please move a long...

Ohio is doing a full recount anyway

How freaking insane do people have to be to pull stunts like this? I mean come on this is basically a two party/person race and you send out ballots with only one name on it.

On a side note I called it here Karzai is going to win his election, Allawi is going to win his AND Bush is definately not loosing we live in a mad mad corrupt as world.

Is it a conincidence that DIEbold is based in Ohio?

Here are a few:

Here in Cincinnati they are saying there will be billions of them - 500 per square meter. That's fairly unusal if you ask me. See this article for what they are predicting here. Should be interesting.

Military Cruise missles cost 1 million each.

How many did we launch at the Iraqi guy we are supposedly trying to kill/find at one time?Did we hit him? nope. Did we kill a bunch of people. Yes we sure did. We killed chemical Ali - remember. One hundred percent confident we killed chemical Ali.

Oh wait, no we didnt.

but dont worry we killed that other guy in afghanistan. and nine of his body guards.

oops - those were children playing in a field. Our official appology and condolences.

Dont try to claim that just because the military weapons cost but loads of money thatthey are any more precise, smart or otherwise more effective than any other weapon that may have a smaller price tag. And to call anything other than a military cruise missle automatically a Terrorist weapon is just rediculous.

This article states that we hit Iraq with over 500 cruise missiles.here

Local story (and the server starts to burn)

From the article: "His mother says he played so much, he ruined screens on three televisions. " (bold mine)

Um...hello? Knock knock knock. Is this thing on? How the hell can you let your kid play a game that much? Is there a Psychologist in the house?
