How do you know the child has no money? No where in the article did it say he had no money. No where in the article did it say he was give the option to pay a normal bail. For all you know he could have hundreds of dollars bank (or country of origin equivilent). I know when I was a kid we had some pretty well off kids who stole for the thrill of it. I myself made $15 a week on a paper route in one year I earned over $100, today it'd probably be closer to $250 with inflation.
No in my logic, a person should be allowed to pay bail by the same means as every one else that walks into a court. If I were to steal a car in the US and was brought before a judge he wouldn't ask me what my most prized possession was. He'd set a monitory bail, if I couldn't pay it I then have the option to put my most prized possession up as collateral with a bail agent, or remain in jail. If the child is found innocent, he loses out on his most prized possession for X amount of time that the trial goes on, when his parents probably could have afforded the nominal bail that would have been set under any other circumstance. The judge is giving the child a punishment by taking his most prize possession before the trial has even started. It's WRONG.
So you think a punishment should be enacted before found guilty eh? He was forced to give over his xbox as bail, not given any monetary option for bail. Meaning he was punished before he was even found guilty.
While it may or may not be "unreasonable bail". It still seems to me like he is being punished before he is even found guilty. He should have been told to pay a normal bail like any other person and if he couldn't afford to pay bail then the xbox would have been a reasonable means for him to secure his bail. The Judge out right gave punishment before a trial. Forcing the child who was yet to be found guilty to be punished. It was IMO unreasonable.
Let me get this straight? He was accused of stealing and when asked for bail he had his xbox taken away? While I agree if he was found guilty that would be an excellent punishment, but that should not be the cost of his bail.
I live in Japan. We just bought a new Sony Bravia TV, and unlike the ones in the states, it contains, a hard drive, and the ability to serve as a DVR. Someone hacks into it, and can now use it to store what ever they want, even use it as part of the botnet. Think it's not a security risk now? There is a reason my Television is not connected to the internet, even though it could be connected to it.
changing the OS is a lot different than tuning to a new station. These devices are not there for "experimentation" they are there for the customer to see if they like the device as it is sold out of the box, not how some jerk decided to modify it so that it's not the same device being sold.
The vendor is Apple and I am not going back to Windows, and Linux doesn't provide me with what I want in an operating system. Therefore if I want the OS I am stuck with the crappy choices for hardware. I think they only offer matte screens on the large screen pro lines and I barely afforded the 13in MBP.
As I said I should be able to have the choice between one or the other, and so should you. I just don't like glossy. I don't like glossy photos either I always special ordered matte photos. I hate the shine, it's obnoxious and annoying in my opinion.
I personally can't stand them. Can't sit in front of a window without the glare. Have to close the shades all the time, and if it's hot in the house the shades block the fan from blowing cool air in from outside. Glossy screens are simply a pain, you should have an option of which you want.
Agreed. This "technology" is all over Japan. 90% of advertisements use them. 95% of phones can read them. Stores and venues even have devices to read them off of your phones LCD so you can use ones you find on the web as coupons. This is old tech, and old news.
You think slashdot would put a "primary_link" field into the database to try to wed out duplicate entries. Put in an entry, if the primary link has the same URL as another article with a primary link then they'd get a warning showing them of possible duplicates...
The DVR service is rental of their DVR equipment, not access to a service. They are renting you hardware that is a DVR. The DVR is also your cable tuner so you are only renting one device instead of 2. Digital cable boxes via comcast are $10/month, so in reality you are paying an additional $10/month for the more advanced box. Box breaks Comcast replaces it. You buy a DVR or build one something breaks and you may have to pay out more to replace/fix it than the $120/yr for the rental. When storage in Comcasts new boxes increases, you call Comcast and can get a newer box without doling out a couple hundred more dollars for a new box or upgraded computer system..
... to host DNS where their website is hosted. I host my domains on godaddy, and my sites are elsewhere. If for some reason any of my sites were ever taken down. They could be brought up within hours elsewhere.

This one lasted a good 2 minutes, steady shake once it got going. Trying to get back to sleep here in Chiba Prefecture.
Or so says yahoo news.

I was going to say, Google translate is ANYTHING but accurate. My wife (who's Japanese) laughs at some of the things Google comes up with...
Oh you mean like the way the banks managed to keep us from having a recession recently and didn't need a bailout right?
Yes they use a lot of bandwidth, that Comcast's customers pay for in overpriced monthly fees.
So glad I don't have to deal with Comcast anymore
I personally would have designed it better. Maybe a USB port on the "serial" box so that it's not hanging off my iPad/iPhone.
What is this 4square? When did hardware vendors become mayors?

Yeah that was totally NOT legal. That was destruction of property

I love it. Since this was an april fools joke they are totally protected by parody law. Stupid stupid lawyers... LOL too funny
they made a copy of iPhoto. iPhoto sucks so who cares?
