The bigger issue is that they wanted to search an opaque bag. For no reason other than they were curious. Then when it's opened, and shows cards, again, they wanted to search, for no reason other than curiosity.
No, they asked what was in the bag and the driver said it was gift cards (bought in suspicious circumstances) and then handed it to the cop. He both incriminated himself and consented to the search. Textbook "don't talk to cops" stuff.
The US froze his assets. That's why he couldn't post bail.
Not true. He had $39 million in a Swiss bank account, which he didn't disclose. After spending a few months in jail, he turned over the account to the US authorities and was released on bail. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/...
There is no such thing in England as having to post bail. You can be released on bail with bail conditions, but you don't have to pay anything.
Sigh, why bother posting this when 2 seconds in Google can tell you he had a bail of £5 million set but couldn't pay because his assets were frozen. Not everyone gets set a monetary bail but it happens sometimes.
Nature doesn't want people (or any animal) to live past the point where it is producing offspring and launching them into the world.
No, not really. This is reductionist thinking - often from those whose dislike of collectivism prevents them reasoning clearly. Ants and bees survive quite well with the majority of their population not breeding at all.
Humans are not ants, of course but neither are they salmon that spawn and die. Grandparents often look after children; old people may have a store of wisdom that can benefit the tribe. Also, your idea predicts that we shouldn't see people living long beyond their breeding age. When you see things happening in nature that don't on first sight make evolutionary sense, often you've missed some subtlety.
10 Gbps on copper has a limited range of about 15m, which is why its primary use is for servers in a data center..
You're talking about 10GBASE-CX4, I'm talking about 10GBASE-T, which will get you 100m over cat 6a+. IEEE have ratified a slower standard because of the installed base of lower spec. cable.
Wasn't clear from TFA if this would work on Cat 5e, or if Cat 6 is required.
For 2.5Gbps, it's just fancier encoding, so 5e should be fine for the full 100m. Cat 6 gets you 5Gbps. You might get 5Gbps over a shorter length of cat 5E but there are no promises as far as I know.
This will certainly save a lot of money for enterprises. I expect it will be the RARE company that will actually need 5Gbps per workstation. Most can probably get by on 100Mbps.
As the summary says, getting 5Gbps to a WAP and sharing it between N laptops is probably more important. It might take a bit longer for 5Gbps interfaces to become the standard on-board Ethernet.
Yes, it's a thing already; so if you have cat 6A installed everywhere, you can forget about it. However, there is a lot of installed 5E and 6 where it makes sense.
Variable length addresses aren't a new idea, and there were some advocates for IPv6. However, a lot of the IPv6 changes were made to streamline the IP header, to make it faster for intermediate systems to process. Using a variable length field would add complexity. More general isn't necessarily better, else we would be using BigInts everywhere.
Which? is a well known (in the UK) consumer advocacy magazine that does product comparisons. It's better for "vendor X sucks for warranty repair on their washing machine".
It's newsworthy in the sense that the BBC has a technology site and they have to put some stuff there. Why one would take a report from an Indian site and run it on/. is a different issue.
Is this quibbling-after-the-fact also business as usual?
I'm not seeing a lot of quibbling; Spacecom is doing a bit of damage control with investors. SpaceX is privately owned, so doesn't need to play that game.
Apple is also a great example. Apple records and Apple computer. Until Apple started selling music nobody would have confused the two.
Actually Apple is a very poor example, because Apple Corps and Apple Inc. have a long history of trademark litigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Credit Karma appears to be on of these 'fintech' firms, where you sign away all your privacy in return for free credit reports. So I guess Wrkriot were looking for a way to leech off LinkedIn. Her timing obviously completely sucked, because Microsoft bought LinkedIn in June and put a bomb under the leeches shortly after.
One of my previous employer did something like this, and I loved the idea, initially. Then I realized I was getting the same amount of work done, but being paid less for it and having less time to do it (unless I wanted to work on my own time, for free)..
I'm unconvinced this is a bad idea for the worker. It's a good deal for the employer certainly, in that you likely lose some slack in your working day when you are there. It still seems worth it for an extra day off to me although YMMV. I am unhappy because my productivity has gone up seems rather odd to me.
This could never happen with an analog monitor (i.e. vga) in the same way "accidentally" throwing your car into reverse in a manual transmission car is impossible, unlike the weekly stories we hear about people and their automatic cars plowing into buildings.
Except that VGA usually has a digital side channel these days; BENQ has firmware updates over VGA for some models.
I'm sure the defense will raise this. All this article talks about is what the prosecution alleges.
The defence probably didn't say a lot more than to enter a formal guilty plea. The prosecution just had to outline the severity of the case enough for the magistrate to refer it to a higher court for sentencing.
If you work it out per mile travelled, I think aircraft beat elevators easily. Elevators appear to be about 100-1000 times as safe per trip, on a casual search. That's surely not nearly enough to win when normalized.
"Domestic" parliament? A better word have been "National" Parliament. Bulgaria is still a sovereign state, not a province of a kind of EU Empire.
Domestic is a perfectly good synonym for national. For example, in the phrase, "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
It sure looks like someone is making a lot of money from creating bitcoin, and it's shameful. Bitcoin was developed as a tool to allow criminals to easy pay for contraband or illegal services without being tracked by law enforcement.
Are you sure about that? In my more paranoid moments I wonder if the whole Bitcoin ecosystem was created as a honeypot by a three letter agency. Sure, if you're scrupulous about it you can preserve your anonymity - but it only takes one slip.

Other than perhaps a Kardashian, no one is carrying around diamonds in their pockets to scratch their pseudo-sapphire iPhone lens.
If it is only 6 on the Mohs scale it means that it will be scratched by quartz, so if you have dirt in your pocket it may get scratched.

For crying out loud, you'd think Slashdot editors could get correct the name of a top 10 national engineering program.
Well, you might have thought Fortune editors could get it right in the first place.

Instead of this, why not just use the irradiated sterile mosquitos instead?
Irradiated mosquitoes tend to be too wrecked to get laid very often, when there are healthy males around.
