The Economist article mentions that other studies have determined that alcohol is the most common factor in murders in Australia, Finland and Sweden. Searching for more studies related, I noticed the WSJ has an interesting site called Murder in America that allows you to sort and visualize murder information http://projects.wsj.com/murder...
We have a dominant Taxi company in the city where I live, one so influential and powerful that it has landed a former city councilman in Federal court for accepting bribe money to stifle competition from other companies. They are, of course, bringing some serious legal pressure to bear on our politicians for allowing Uber to operate independent of codes regulating the taxi business. Seems that the biggest barriers to improving cab transportation are existing regulations and conflict with existing companies, not technical. In Dallas, the attempt to stifle Uber went so far as to include police stings of Uber drivers: http://www.dallasobserver.com/...
Either existing taxi companies need to adopt new technologies like this on their own, or citizens have to demand restructuring of the rules governing them. It seems in many places that taxi companies view these more as a threat than a benefit.
Seems like there's some skepticism over the nature of the study. Somewhat reasonable, but it still seems to add to evidence about the long term effects of the disaster on the ecosystem around Chernobyl. Some comments seem to express skepticism about the importance of decomposition. Perhaps a biologist could go into greater detail on its benefit to life on earth. The suggestion about controlled fires makes me wonder if you read the article.
Do you think it would be possible to break into those computers that control the nuclear missiles and launch all the missiles like in that movie Wargames and start a nuclear war with the Russians, and if you think it's possible could you like tell me how, and could you like send it to my email and use like super secret encryption so that the NSA won't detect it, and make the instructions really clear so I can follow them. THANKS!
Maybe the price will drop as they print more. I'm fine with them leaving it at $11,900, fewer sales. Google result for "M1911A1 for sale" is a page advertising $419.00. Years ago there was a Bloom County cartoon parodying the scene in the graduate where an adult takes Benjamin Braddock aside and offers him the advice, "Plastics, Ben. Plastics." In the Bloom County cartoon the adult says, "Disposable Handguns." Soon we will have a world with untraceable disposable handguns. Put the pros and cons of this new technology in the scales. I suspect a large net positive, but with some amazing new problems in the future. Things nobody has imagined yet.
Back when you were wrote the Hacker Crackdown, you described a world where ham-handed and overly zealous law enforcement and hacker culture collided, and predicted more of the same in the future. How has modern day law enforcement evolved in terms of its approach since that time, in what ways is it more savvy, and in what ways does it still strike you as draconian or clumsy in its approach.
No, he was wanted by the State Department for going to Yugoslavia during the war in the 1990's when all travel by US citizens was banned. He played a rematch of his famous match with Boris Spassky. He sought asylum in Japan, then was granted full citizenship in Iceland, and was still wanted at the time of his death in 2008.
I'd like to wish Mark Zuckerberg luck in his new teaching career. He'd better start now, it will take him most of his natural life to make a dent in that number.
Bookstores can serve as more than a point of purchase in regards to literature. I'm sure that Amazon has something to say to that in regards to their online community, but I think there is still something to be said for the physical world.
I predict that in the year 2015, mankind will make dirigibles that are capable of flying distances of almost 200 kilometers. I also predict the these new flying machines will be capable of travelling at speeds approaching 30 miles per hour. I predict that the new technology of steam power will revolutionize society, providing cheap and freely available steam to anyone who will need to steam vegetables or other steamy foods. I further predict that by the year 2017, genetically modified horses that are as large as elephants will replace machinery and factories and become a common method of transportation. I also predict that in 2013 a man will attempt to cross the Atlantic using helium balloons, but will crash into the ocean about 10 miles off the Jersey coast and drown.
The Acer C7 is $199, the Samsung ARM is $250. These are both less than $350. Your logic:
1. Windows 8 notebook is $350.
2. Chromebook is $200.
3. Chromebook is too expensive
This is the same Windowscentric thinking that never recognized that there is a large market of people who don't have any use for the many capabilities of Windows. Their computer is a device for surfing the web and communication. I wonder how many people could get by with just a smartphone. In fact, I wonder how many people now do.

Fore! FIRE!

The caliphate of Microsoft? There is no god but Windows and Bill Gates is his prophet?
I ran it myself and it said, "Loser."
Good point, but now we could have untraceable guns that could be used once in a murder or crime, and disposed of after use.

'61 was a much better year for Cobalt. Cobalt-60 far overrated, and people are paying too much for it on the open market.

He just tested positive for Red Bul,l taurine, Monster Energy drink, and NoDoz. Banned.

I still say she/he would be stretched out into spaghetti.
Just like the French to try and protect literature.
Rumor has it that they are looking for a jellyfish named Sarah Connor.
Earthquake very strong, crushed under chunk of house, check my location on foursquare, #dying
