  1. Reason for BPL Dups on Electric Companies Get Involved With Broadband · · Score: 1

    The only reason for the BPL dups is for all the /.ing brass pounders to figure out who each other are. Considering how damn lame some of the other ham-boards (caugh.. QRZ) are these days, we need to find some place to hang. Seth's board (hamsexy.com) is nice but they have all those damn VE3 kids!

    Notable: In March, Hu introduced "Ba Rong, Ba Chi" ("Eight Honors and Disgraces"), described as a new concept of socialist morality by the official Xinhua news agency. The list urges Chinese to:

    * Love the country; do it no harm.

    * Serve the people; never betray them.

    * Follow science; discard superstition.

    * Be diligent; not indolent.

    * Be united, help each other; make no gains at other's expense.

    * Be honest and trustworthy; do not spend ethics for profits.

    * Be disciplined and law-abiding; not chaotic and lawless.

    * Live plainly, work hard; do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures.

    ..the cops aren't likely to be hanging out at coffee joints..

    So, where does your city find its cops hanging out? Around here (granted, it's the Seattle area) it's hard to find a coffee shop without a uniformed cop in it. And we have a fair shitload of coffee houses. Of course with our cops it's not a doughnut and a Farmer Brothers.. it's more like a grande Ethiopia Sidamo (soy, please) with a lemon bundt.

    The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter

    While humanity absorbs the depressing news that an enormous asteroid will hit Earth in 500 years, David develops the WormCam, which allows remote viewers to spy on anyone, anytime. The government steps in to direct WormCam use--but before long, privacy becomes a distant memory. Then David and his half-brother, Bobby, discover a way to use the WormCam to view the past, and the search for truth leads to disillusionment as well as knowledge. Only by growing beyond the mores of the present can humanity hope to survive and to deal with the threats of the future, including that asteroid.

    Want to scare off the suspect? Just have the UAV follow him really conspicuously. Eventually he'll hear the motor of the plane and notice this thing is tailing him.

    That's where I start to question things. If someone is being stalked by a UAV how will they know who the stalker is? Will a 'suspect' be able to get a badge number?

    BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) -- A man who neighbors say was devoted to his meticulously kept lawn was charged with murder in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy who apparently walked across his yard. Charles Martin called 911 on Sunday afternoon, saying calmly: "I just killed a kid." Police, who released the call's contents, said Martin also told the dispatcher: "I've been harassed by him and his parents for five years. Today just blew it up." (Watch for the 911 call from the accused shooter -- 1:46) Larry Mugrage, whose family lived next door, was shot in the chest with a shotgun. The high school freshman was pronounced dead at a hospital. Martin, 66, allegedly told police he had several times had problems with neighbors walking on his lawn. He remained jailed without bond Monday. His jailers said no attorney was listed for him. Neighbors said Martin lived alone quietly, often sitting in front of his one-story home with its neat lawn, well-trimmed shrubbery and flag pole with U.S. and Navy flags flying. Joanne Ritchie, 46, said Mugrage was known as "a good kid." She said she always also considered Martin to be friendly. Union Township is near Batavia, about 20 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio.
