Senate Democrats are actually trying to restore some of Americans' rights and freedoms that were lost when government told the people to panic and then took advantage of it.
I've been wanting a strip of touchscreen along the top of my keyboard for quite some time now. This looks like a poor implementation of it, since they used three small screens to approximate one long one. In case you're wondering, the reason I want a strip of touchscreen along the top of my keyboard is so that I could put icons and toolbars there, so that I could be "clicking" them with my left hand while my right hand is using the trackball pointer in the graphics window (no longer obscured or reduced in size due to toolbars) of my CADCAM software. Hopefully someone will do it right before too long.
Yup. I've always (well since a couple weeks after 9-11 anyway) thought that the hysteria that Bush and the media espoused caused way more damage than the actual incident. No disrespect to those lost, or their friends and families, but we as a nation need to learn how to take a punch standing up. What does it tell the world, if we're willing to put so much of our resources into "national security"? It tells them that we're a nation of cowards. What ever happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
Exactly how much genetic similarity is permitted before a genome is considered infringement? AFAIK a little mutation happens with every generation, so if you replant the product of your crop then it isn't the same genome.
His point (which I agree with), is that all things being equal, the ribbon is a better interface than the file menu.
Except that it isn't. If you let it use more space, it functions the same as the old way. If you hide it, it takes longer to use. What's the advantage supposed to be?
People have been predicting such limitations for some time. Time and again someone thinks of something new that the predictor of the limit hadn't thought of, and the improvement continues.
The expensive ones are expensive because they're aimed at people who will pay that much for them. You can get cheap cases for $50 or less if you're willing to use a plain beige box.
So as one of the most intelligent and well educated citizens on Earth, you pass the stringent tests and make it onboard the stasis ship headed for Corot. You wake up after the thousand year journey, ready to land and start the Earth's first extrasolar colony. Unfortunately you find that FTL was invented about seven hundred years ago and there's not just a colony there already, but an overcrowded planet-wide city and several space stations. You end up as a ward of the state, performing menial labor since you have neither the education nor the genetically enhanced intelligence to be employable.
Check out Emilie Autumn, and her two disk album "Laced / Unlaced". The first disk is some impressively technical classical, the second modernizes and goes industrial.
Changing a time stamp and the order of events might be easy enough, and could pay off in certain circumstances. However, if the cop's dash cam can be used as evidence, why shouldn't yours? Be sure to include audio, so when the officer claims that you said something you didn't, you have some way of denying it.
There's a marketable product opening here. Make and sell a "black box" recorder that you can stick on your dash (or wherever else) that you supply with power but has no external data access, and has a tamper evident case. The device will record and retain the last X number of hours that it's been on. If video data is to be used as evidence, the device can be opened and accessed by your company for a fee. Then your company can send certified copies of the video to you and to the court to be used as evidence.
If you like this idea and use it, please just send me a few to use.:)

Habeas Corpus guarantees the right to confront your accuser. How do you do that when you're accused by a machine?
Try LiFe-Po batteries. Same energy density as Li-ion, but they survive an order of magnitude more charge cycles.

-Fissed.
"National Security Letter" = "Writ of Assistance"
Controversy over these general writs of assistance inspired the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which forbids general search warrants in the United States.

Wouldn't mounting one of these on the blimp defeat and incoming missiles?
Perhaps they have point defense systems for shooting down incoming missiles, or perhaps they're simply classified as expendable.

Irish potato famine, anyone?

Plus I need two sets of hex wrenches, two sets of sockets, two sets of taps and dies, etc.

This is just one more step along the path that I and many others have predicted. Please reference the thread on "crowdsourcing" video analysis: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1277749&cid=28429931
So it's a video Zone Alarm. I imagine the first while of operation would be rather labor intensive.

The insides can be small without making the outsides small.
"If you think proper spelling is important (I am not saying that it isn't) then you should make a case, not a complaint."
Out of what, cardboard?

Now there will be radioactive sharks with friggin' lasers!

Maybe they should stop throwing away trillions of dollars so that they don't have to tax so hard...
Call it an electrograph then.
Great, now they'll find out about our base on Hoth.
