Citizens are allowed to decide that a sex offender doesn't deserve to live, even though the law decided he does. Why stop there? Citizens should be allowed to decide if wearing different colored socks deserves a painful death (it does). Maybe I don't want to live near ugly people, or tall people, or people with strange accents.

Total information. That's the only sensible solution.
There is no cent value in that range, I'm hoping that the GP will explain this conundrum.

I've always felt I do things better each time I try again. Programming is simply one of the areas where it's easier to see. I'm sure I cook quite better than five years ago, but I didn't keep a piece to compare it to what I cooked yesterday.
The surprise doesn't come from the difference between how we coded before and how we do now; we expect to code better than what we remember. However, we don't expect so much difference between what we remember and what we actually did.
That's because one of the main things we learn with time and which makes us better programmers is to detect bad code.
Then, we gradually stop programming and start checking for wrong code to ask a programmer to review certain parts. After a while we don't even read the code and simply correct the design. A while later, we just review the person who will review the design.
And all that time, we can read our old code, full of now obvious mistakes and shaped to loosely fit a long forgotten and never written design.
How many changes would writers do if they could rewrite their old novels. How many changes would film directors do if they... wait... bladewhat?
Your post demonstrates unequivocally that you did not read the article or if you did, you didn't understand it. I read the article. What I didn't see was that there was a second linked article that described the software.
Sheesh, I can forgive not knowing how networking works, but to post inflammatory comments when you are obviously ignorant is, well, ignorant. I didn't make the post to be inflammatory. I just wanted to express that giving an application to prove something you're saying is not logical. And no, I didn't know the software existed previously.
Obviously it was inflammatory, judging by the number of replies, but I think it's because from the title, readers were already expecting an offensive post before reading the content.
And, btw, my point was not "don't trust the EFF because they are tricking you with an app" but "As we already trust the EFF, there's no need to double check their results."
But I don't think this is just about trusting the EFF that this happens. This is a case about discovery. EFF isn't everywhere and can't directly measure this sort of thing from their offices - they need client programs run in as many locations as reasonable to gather. The application should call home to report the results.
Guy Hands aims to snuff out excesses that cost EMI £100m a year
Guy Hands, chairman of EMI, has told potential investors the group's former management squandered around 100 million pounds on corporate excesses. Terra Firma, Hands' private equity firm, is expected to make major changes to senior management and transform the culture of a company considered to be stuck in the glory days of the music business. Industry observers say Hands will try to blame previous management for the firm's woes because he has paid over the odds for a business struggling to cope with a dwindling market.
First: Diplomacy almost never works. Sure, you can try it over and over again. But eventually, war is the answer between factions of irreconcilable differences. In such instances, peace can only be obtained when one side wins and/or the other side surrenders unconditionally. A side can surrender unconditionally to a diplomat backed by an army.
Diplomacy works most of times, but it's failures are louder.
I've always thought that knowing the origin of all code is standard procedure. Where I've worked, hiding such a thing is reason enough to fire someone.
Didn't they check? Or they knew perfectly well what they were doing but didn't care. I suppose it's the second.
They didn't care because they are incompetent? Or simply their lawyers told them it didn't matter. I suppose it's the second.
If this technology triumphs, the next addition should be sensors that control the release of chemicals taking the current situation into consideration.
For example, a patch could sense the cardiac rhythm and control it chemically. Another could control blood sugar, etc.
What I imagine is someone witnessing a car accident, taking four patches from his car's medikit putting them in different parts of the hurt person and calling an ambulance while the patches stabilize the patient.
I think a kissable UI is the way of the future so that us Slashdotters can finally get some. Instead of a 'Submit' button, you have a "Make out with this picture of Jessica Alba to continue" screen. So, when you see Jessica Alba, your first thought is "I'd like to kiss her". Hmmm interesting.
We'll have to try next with Scarlet Johanson and see what UI we can come up with.
A fax machine's UI is far more user friendly to novices and beginners alike. Is there some reason we don't design GUIs to mimic the fax machine? This, to me, is a substantial failing in modern UI design. I design my GUIs following the breakthrough design of VCR programming.
What all human-machine interaction lack is pressure simulation. Even the ugliest virtual reality, with some way of opposing the user's movement would allow the creation of virtual objects.
Porn industry alone could finance the investigation and development, and then everybody would be able to use the technology.
However, apart from some experimentation with oil spheres, I don't think there are feasible options yet.
So, stop with the multitouch already. We've not used more than one finger to paint since we were 2. Start the pressure investigation and give us a better virtual reality.

You're right. We may have as few as ten years to create the murderers list!
Why only criminal records?

Really, really small. And quite cheap.
If it becomes too hard to find, just go to a friend's house and take his.
Leaving the money where the Wii was, is regarded as a nice touch.
If X tells something is true and then offers an application that proves that what they say is true there are only two options:
1 - You trust X: No need to check for yourself.
2 - You don't trust X: Why would you believe X's software?
That would be news in ancient Rome.

As opposed to:
- Having my bio energy harvested to power the corporation.
- Being bombarded by adverts as soon as I leave the corporation (after being thoroughly spent and released for a short recharging).
I wonder what kind of personal info you've got while plugged in the Matrix.
Row and column?
Or fill a syringe with whatever chemical poison you've got at home and stick it into him; it's faster, cheaper and can go through thick clothes.

Ok, we need sensors in the patches and a better legal system that doesn't bind the minds and souls of men with ropes of fear.
Those work through the skin. Transdermal patch
