    How can you not have a shoolow view of a paedophile?? It's one thing to say your attracted to children but a complete other to act on it.

    Because up until quite recently that was a reasonable system. It is in your interest for the journal you submit to to remain solvent.The Internet has changed things, and the journal industry is trying to figure out how to deal with it. Like any big industry, they're pretty slow at it. They ARE figuring it out though. Science releases freely any article older than a year, and there are open access journals springing up all over the place. One of the problems that has yet to be worked out is that the ope

  4. Homebrew angle. on Inexpensive USB LCD With Linux Drivers For LCDproc · · Score: -1

    No, you can't "do the same job" with a $50 photoframe. The $50 USB photo frames you talk about are not real time displays. The USB link is to transfer photos to/from the memory card. If you want to get real time on a USB photo frame you need one capable of Vista SideShow, and that will set you back $200 .

    I am guessing that the control computers are also the ones that store/process the data coming out of the detector. Such data usually needs to be stored to some kind of network device and then needs to be network accessable to people who want to actually cook the stuff.

  8. Re: on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: -1

    I was listening to the radio yesterday, and they were playing a quote from the governor of New Orleans (Ray Naggin?) where he said something along the lines of, "if you're caught looting, you're going straight to (the name of some jail in Louisiana), no trial, no appeal." The idiots on the radio were cheering for him, saying he's finally done something right.Yay suspension of due process! What could possibly go wrong if we give people like police officers almost no money but God-like powers to be judge, j

    He didnt compromise accounts, in the summary it says he tapped into land lines. That can be done with a $5 telephone handset and a pair of aligator clips, and was probably done using an actual linemans handset provided to him by the company. Google "beige box" for more info.

    You're right about "to most people"... However, that just means that those most people need to be educated... I agree entirely. However, there also needs to be "wiggle room" for the common vernacular to be (at least!) mildly different from legal jargon. See "hacker v. cracker" - another misappropriation of words that are "pretty close," but where anyone with enough brain cells and ego to care would be able to tell the intended meaning from the context.

  18. What? on Cell Phone For the Blind? · · Score: -1

    A couple of weeks ago I helped a blind guy, with a service dog, board a commuter train. I watched as, later, he whipped out a phone and called his party to let them know that he's on the way. I don't remember what model it was, but it looked like a fairly recent phone, with all the usual bells and whistles on it. So, even though I don't know the model, there are definitely some out there which blind people can easily use. Blind people often have a heightened sense of touch. I'd say you're probably lookin

    Useful forensic evidence is only available in a small fraction of criminal cases, and genetic forensic evidence is even rarer.However, the probability of these things being useful goes up with the seriousness of the crime. If your car stereo gets stolen, the cops might not bother dusting for prints because it's just not a priority. If you have a serious crime scene, it makes sense to get as much genetic material as you can to help look at.The new technique of getting prints off of the micro-corrosions tha
