If that's censorship then I guess my local whole foods market is guilty too, because they don't carry Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. All they carry is some crappy organic peanut butter puffs. The *bastards*.
That is unacceptable. Access to Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch is the bedrock of our liberties. Those who would sacrifice access to Peanut Butter Crunch for security deserve neither.
Prison rape jokes - just can't get enough of them. They just get funnier every time you post them to slashdot. Especially when they're not even tangentially related to the story topic.
TFA says that an inmate was able to pass through the prison and stalk another inmate who was then murdered. this is supposed to help track inmates more efficiently
So this is supposed to make it easier for inmates to stalk each other using RFID technology. Great plan.
A shift in color is a visual distortion. More to the point, how do you represent a shift in color using made up images of arbitrary colors? Do we know what color the buildings are supposed to be before watching the changes?
All this does is attempt to simulate the visual distortion that one would perceive when traveling that fast. The videos look like you could be going 100 mph or whatever in terms of speed, but the distortion of the buildings seems to be what they're trying to get across here. The idea that you could have a long enough street lined with similar enough buildings to even perceive this distortion is beyond fantastical, so there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of point to this other than illustrating the notion that there is visual distortion. But I imagine what you would actually see would be much more of a blur.
You could argue that but you would be wrong. What helped put the content providers off for several years was their closed-minded arrogance and their insistence on believing that lawsuits would save their obsolete business model. They only agreed to start licensing their material after they saw that lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit would not stop people from downloading music.
I tried to think of some witty comments here but there is nothing I can say funnier, darker, or more ironic than the story itself. This is even richer than when the MS Front Page license including a clause forbidding the use of Front Page to make web pages critical of Microsoft. The gall of these people! This is a new low, though, even for them. "Thought thieves"?! Someone up at MS is having a huge laugh over this.
Seriously though it could do anything any script or application could do; use your imagination. It could delete everything in ~/ - that would not be fun. It could send emails to everyone in your address book announcing your engagement to Michael Jackson.
At least they didn't say "4 out of 5 experts say..." I always expect that to be followed up with "In other news, one out of five experts is smoking crack."

Everything is much snappier on PPC.
1998 called. They want their troll back.
Don't forget snappier!

Of course not.
It has the number 616 on it instead.

Is there a torrent for the 60 minutes episode? Just curious; I want to time shift it....
Sure - it makes escapes easier, if an inmate can get ahold of a guard's rfid.
Just edit the article, and change the date to 1988. Then you'll be right!
Yes. And Steve Ballmer is a little bald.
Yeah! Also you should check out the iPod -- given its form factor, it makes an excellent, albeit pricy makeshift paperweight!
Just type in the password at the prompt.

How do you get to light speed without accelerating?
That's the chewy center!
It's amazing how round the internet is.

Basically, they'll be including stickers on their new products that say "Don't Steal Thoughts."
