It would be worrying though if all the mercury from a landfill (most people are bound to just toss them in the trash) would reach groundwater. Would be a massive contamination which then could reach crops or drinking water.
I think LED lighting is really the future, no mercury in them. I have some LED lighting myself and while I found it to be too dim still and a bit too focused for lighting a whole room, I really like how LED emitted light looks. LEDs are also insanely efficient, I don't notice any heat at all even when I place my hand on them. And the problems I mentioned will surely be fixed as brighter LEDs are developed.
The police could get DNA samples from her body, and know immediately who did it. I don't think it is that easy, may people having similar dna. I am not a scientist but I don't think it is precise enough to search a database of millions. Anyway, I don't think it is worth the huge cost to criminalize everybody for the few murders / rapes that are commited. And did you know most rapes and murders are done by people close to the victim? No need to put everybody in a database. Besides, serial rapers are already adapting and using condoms / shaving pubic hair more often. They will do that even more when they know their dna is recorded.
And, next to the extreme crimes you give as examples, many crimes are hardly or not all researched where I live. If you report a petty crime they will sometimes not even want to accept the report. I think it is like that in many places. Why not work at that first?
If the authorities had Noam Chomsky's DNA then they'd have a chance of shutting him up? Yeah, I see your point... Hitler would have absolutely loved a genetic database. Don't counter this with the stupid Godwin's "law" please it is a good argument.
Well especially after having read the summary here the article could also be understood as the Taliban being tracked through their own telephones.
"Since the occupying forces stationed in Afghanistan usually at night use mobile phones for espionage to track down the mujahideen"
It's probably as you say though.
Microsoft actually made the first webbrowser with decent CSS support (IE3). Back then Netscape with their huge market share had no intent to support CSS. Microsoft delivers when they have to. Too bad they can afford to lean back now with their desktop monopoly.

What benefits exactly? Laying the framework for a dictator?
Except when you have a good ISP
I see it's already registered now. I Don't dare to visit it though.

Wow these guys are stupid. Just turn off the damn phone. Oh yeah it requires stupidity to be a religious extremist.

I think it is the new Trollmaster 5000.
