Seriously, we all know that Steve Jobs eternally obsessive management is what has primarily led to Apple's success, and depriving its shareholders of adequate information regarding his health AND not giving them an appropriate succession plan is almost certainly pure arrogance.
Yes, the researchers are not jabbing a needle into your skull, but that doesn't mean TFA should refer to the process as "noninvasive." From my perspective, any external process that changes anything in or on my body is invasive, including flipping the on/off switch to various regions of the brain. This method of studying the brain is as "noninvasive" as an electron's position and momentum may be simultaneously known.

It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it? That would look great on the front of any packaged meat. In fact, sales will probably skyrocket.
End sarcasm. I would really like to see how they would manage to market that, though.
This is same phenomenon that has made millionaires out of many a mobile app writer. Cheaper prices per item can lead to exponentially increased sales, which leads to more market visibility, which leads to more sales, and so on and so forth. This shouldn't surprise anyone, considering the popularity of the Kindle and the costs of physical books.
According to TFA there are rules allowing certain messages to remain private, so some of the censorship will be legal, but I imagine that they'll just stamp a big red "privileged" restriction on anything that's too embarrassing to Palin.
Oh, no! They have only until May 31st to deliver 25,000 pages of e-mails to the metaphorical shredder? What ever will they do?!?/humor
Seriously, though, any chance that they're poking through those e-mails more and reading them more carefully than they did when they were originally written/read, and "shredding" those e-mails which make Sarah Palin look like even more air-headed? Either way, I highly doubt the lengthy delay in release of these records is due to anything other than a PR spring cleaning for her almighty. As it stands, they should be able to suppress quite a bit of them, anyway.
How easy is it for a government official to get away with erasing documents of this nature? I would like to assume there are adequate data-retention policies in place to make this exceedingly difficult, but who knows..
See? Preemptively banning technology or research without full, neutral investigation of it's utility/results is stupid.
And I sincerely believe this will not be the last time politicians hinder innovation in the U.S., which makes me really, really sad. As long as politicians let petty religious bias and corporate corruption control their sway, the citizens of this country will suffer.
In the sense of network architecture, the only way I would be even semi-okay with this would be if it really was completely decentralized and peer-to-peer. These types of systems which preach safety and security worry me, as they also could lead to large-scale privacy concerns decades down the road, since you know the various Traffic Management Authorities would jump head over heals for the ability to see real-time position of all cars on the expressway. Then a few years down the road, somebody commit's a crime in or with a car with one of these systems, a politician jumps on the new piece thinking it would make a great "brand item" for his campaign, and given a little bit of misguided legislation, BOOM. The main problem with centralizing management and data.
Though, I _am_ taking this a little far, I hope some of the things from Minority Report never come to be.
By the way, off-topic, but is the "There was an unknown error in the submission" just there for old-times sake, or did that whole thing get ignored again?
Slashdot Mirror
Not even necessary! Most people in my town report potholes to the municipality, all they need to do is LISTEN and FIX THEM.
Wait, I lied. It only has IPv4 available on WAN side? WTF. Argh.
Yes, this is may be accurate, but some Cisco/Linksys routers DO have IPv6 compatibility.
From my 4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN (RVS4000) setup page, running stock firmware, I might add that it's generally found under IP Mode:
Dual-Stack IP IPv4 IPv4 and IPv6
I see it as the House succeeding..

Like ~2,000 years ago. Talk about an old story.

Unfortunately, the site seems to be down but Google still has a good cache
Ahh, yes. The slashdot front page effect. Funny how that works.

My thoughts exactly.

(admittedly I'm biased against Sony at this point; not a serious gamer and not too quick to forgive Sony for the rootkit fiasco)
No kidding.
There was a Mythbusters episode dedicated to a border catapult for people. I think it was busted, but don't quote me on that.
This just means he won't be attaching his name to anything PS3-related for quite some time.
(something he likely should have just done in the first place)
There was actually a MythBusters episode on it, if anybody remembers.
Yeah, I was fairly surprised by Google Translate's skills, as well.

Chrome copy/paste works again!
Jeez, I feel old.
Not necessarily new, but cost-reduced and accompanying open-source code for effective use.
