Mandatory notification of customers should be part of the bill, but not necessarily before the authorities.
You first have to stop the breach form continuing/ recurring.
When you are not sure on how to stop the threat from continuing there is every reason to not notify the public, notifying the authorities would be a lot safer.
It really makes you wonder under what stone these politicians live.
The whole world witnesses the stagnation to software development caused by the incessant court battles about software patents in the USofA and then they want a similar system!
But then most of them are probably lawyers by trade so they see opportunities...
Lets hope other nations like the Germans can stop this nonsense taking hold in EU legislation.
Although there's a market for such a 'walled garden' it'll be hard to implement.
Billy Bob wants his son to get an early grasp on the difference between an AK-47 and a M-16 while a parent from Amsterdam might consider instructions on how to grow weed very insightful.
At the same time Fatimah hopes to teach her girl on how to become a martyr, or even worse, Gertrud and Wilhelm want their kids to be comfortable with FKK (Freikörperkultur).
You are very wrong in assuming radiation is less inside a building, especially granite has a high natural radiation and it might be incorporated in the concrete.
Certain kinds of plaster board are made from material recovered at cement furnaces and it too has a quite high radiation level.
Radiation measurements are part of my job, I'm certified for it and I can tell you making a useful measurement of foodstuff requires expensive gear and a lot of time.
A simple way of checking the counter is to point it downwards to a non-polluted part of the ground, record the reading in counts/sec, this is called the background radiation.
Background radiation is as low as 4-8 counts at sea and around 30-40 in an area with clay or granite. Going up in the mountains might expose you to ~100 counts/sec from cosmic radiation.
Now point it at the object you want to check, when the reading is less than 3x the background it can be considered non-polluted.
That doesn't mean it's safe but at least there's less worry.
The biggest problem is these meters will not show you all radiation, usually only Gamma and Beta radiation while Alpha can be just as dangerous. Some sorts of radiation have a hard time passing through even a thin layer of moisture, that includes the skin of vegetables.
All in all, buying a Geiger counter is most likely a total waste of money and certainly a source of misinterpretation.
It is hard to argue with Creationists and I.D. followers, they can't get their little minds around the concept of evolution and therefore think their God is equally dim, their mind is so small it even refuses to contemplate their God is powerful enough to run a system like evolution.
I wonder how many of these 'subscribers' know they are carrying one.
An other use might be to connect villages and army outposts to the central command, it is known the NK infrastructure is seriously deficient and like in many African places it's easier to set up a wireless network than to run lines.
What ever it is used for, I don't believe the majority is for regular cell phones carried by private persons.
But through the centuries books and other printed material have more often than not been the centre-piece of the fight for freedom of speech, a well documented example was the Gulag Archipelago, a book by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
What you seem to forget is that most languages and cultures rather talk about freedom of information.
University level innovative work has little to do with a perceived threat from cheap wage places like India or Brazil.
A far greater problem is the thread from a lack of entrepreneurs and risk-capital for novel high-tech projects.
And Universities, like politicians, see more reward in training IP-lawyers, because the accountants have decided 'content' is the US industry of the future.
"The chip is not cheap--$1500--but it costs less than conventional atomic clocks and the price is sure to go down as manufacturing gears up to meet demand from military applications start using it."
For the price to come down we'll have to wait for the Chinese to finish tooling their new plant.

you'll get all kinds of targeted ads for air fresheners and toilet rolls!
Have you had a count of the number of switches on modern TV's or set-top boxes?

You get my drift.
Americans on the whole don't support Obama's illegal wars.
The Shrub family would like to thank you for setting that issue straight!
But hopefully not of the kind where all stop and sit around till the night shift system operator is roused...
And with newer front ends like Muon an KPackageKit it also looks good.
A gui helps a lot, the latest KPackagKit is close to getting there, as a matter of fact I feel it's for the first time ever ahead of Muon.

At least you don't have to worry about interference from the neighbours.
Yeah that's what's happening behind those curtains.
The stock value of a company is tied to the analyst's expectations,
Analyst's?
In this particular case it's the speculators' tricks that cause this price.
These guys aren't in it for the (longer term) profits, they just want to make a quick buck on the hyped value.
The default install results in a very simple but useful desktop and easy access to anything you could wish for.

As others already said it's meant for more powerful hardware.
Just put op some mp3 and a few downloads should do.
When I understand various Hollywood products correctly this would only affect the US and maybe Transylvania.
That 'religion' is often called Humanism.
