  1. Re:Not just paternity on DNA and Online Search Finds Birth Parent · · Score: 1
    Police could perform similar searches [using crime scene evidence]to identify a criminal's surname, giving vital leads in a case.

  2. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 2, Informative

    The UK did have the felony / misdemeanour disdinction until the Criminal Law Act 1967 which changed alot of things...

  3. Re:British Court system is FAST! on Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam · · Score: 1

    Nearly every domestic burglar I've come across is a prime example of genuine (and usually drug enhanced) stupidity.

    A basic CCTV system in commercial premises that just sits there, isn't used to spy on people, and is only looked at in responce to an incident, is not covered by the UK Data Protection Act. So this set-up is exempt from the requirements.

  4. The exhibition is amazing on Full Moon · · Score: 3

    Whilist the book is enthraling, the exhibition is stunning - I would recommend it heavily.

    I saw it at the Hayward Gallery in London last autumn. Even though I'd 'read' the book previously (okay, there isn't that much text aside from the captions at the back), and there was no new material in the exhibition, seeing one of the lunar panoramics taking up most of a wall was awesome.

  5. Re:OT: Incorrect Logo on OEMs Jump Onto Transmeta Bandwagon · · Score: 1
    Are you serious? This story is about Crusoe! So why exactly is the crusoe logo the wrong one?

    Because the topic is Transmeta perhaps? If all they ever do is Crusoe then okay, but that ain't necessarily so.

  6. Even funnier on The GCHQ Challenge · · Score: 1

    Even funnier is the box underneath that asks that if you ticked 'Yes' to any of the above, could you please provide details in the space below...

    >The TV license fee is legally based on the >fiction that it is illegal to monitor any part of >the EM spectrum without a license

    It also means that we get two advert free TV channels, who can think about content rather than trying to boost audience ratings for the advertisers. Well, that's the theory anyhow :-)

  13. How's about the Global Trust Register? on Ask Slashdot: Is There a PGP Key Repository? · · Score: 1

    Something like this has been implemented - the clever bit is that it's a book, which has some advantages for the truely paranoid.
