....The officers found the couple’s cash and a marbled-glass pipe that Boatright said was a gift for her sister-in-law, and escorted them across town to the police station. In a corner there, two tables were heaped with jewelry, DVD players, cell phones, and the like. According to the police report, Boatright and Henderson fit the profile of drug couriers: they were driving from Houston, “a known point for distribution of illegal narcotics,” to Linden, “a known place to receive illegal narcotics.” The report describes their children as possible decoys, meant to distract police as the couple breezed down the road, smoking marijuana. (None was found in the car, although Washington claimed to have smelled it.)
The county’s district attorney, a fifty-seven-year-old woman with feathered Charlie’s Angels hair named Lynda K. Russell, arrived an hour later. Russell, who moonlighted locally as a country singer, told Henderson and Boatright that they had two options. They could face felony charges for “money laundering” and “child endangerment,” in which case they would go to jail and their children would be handed over to foster care. Or they could sign over their cash to the city of Tenaha, and get back on the road. “No criminal charges shall be filed,” a waiver she drafted read, “and our children shall not be turned over to CPS,” or Child Protective Services.
“Where are we?” Boatright remembers thinking. “Is this some kind of foreign country, where they’re selling people’s kids off?” Holding her sixteen-month-old on her hip, she broke down in tears.
Later, she learned that cash-for-freedom deals had become a point of pride for Tenaha, and that versions of the tactic were used across the country. “Be safe and keep up the good work,” the city marshal wrote to Washington, following a raft of complaints from out-of-town drivers who claimed that they had been stopped in Tenaha and stripped of cash, valuables, and, in at least one case, an infant child, without clear evidence of contraband.
As far as I know, cash is still legal to use. If the police cannot prove it was ill-gotten gain, than it should always be returned (in a fair country).
The conditions are controlled and constant in order to test the system's response, to ready the system for variable conditions with solid behavior data.
Yes, and the GoogleCar is many years away from ever being an 'alpha' release. Right now some known difficulties for it to handle are rain/snow conditions and active road construction zones. A human will need to be always aware and vigilant for the entire drive, ready to take over in a moments notice, or be held liable in case of an accident. It's going to be a long time before we have a car that a drunk can just get into and say, "Take me home", then wake up at his destination. An awful lot of time still needs to be invested in full development.
"watches should be 90% voice/sound interactive"... Combined with a finger ring/earpiece. Holding your hand up to your ear is a very natural, intuitive way to have a phone conversation.
And Apple did patch the API within a day or so of this story breaking. It has not been proven or disproven that this is how the photos got stolen. Some phone pics were obviously taken with an Android phone. "What's your dogs name" type password recovery 'attacks' may have been used. There are lowlifes who collect and trade/sell nude pics, sometimes just for the lulz. Some of the pics may have been copied from online accounts from years back.
Yishan Wong, the chief executive officer of Reddit, has tried to explain why the site has not banned certain subreddits (sections of the website where users share items connected to a specific topic) despite banning the subreddit which contained the stolen pictures of nude celebrities.
In a Reddit thread under the title “Every Man Is Responsible For His Own Soul” [sic], Mr Wong wrote: “I did not say ‘we won’t ban any subreddits ever’. I said that we don’t ban subreddits for being morally bad. We do ban subreddits for breaking our rules, and one of them is repeatedly and primarily being a place where people post copyrighted material for which valid DMCA requests are being received.”
Essentially, the company refuses to ban subreddits for being “morally bad” but will if they break any laws or any of the website’s own rules.
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

I must be unique then in that I have used Windows for 15 years and I've never seen that particular blue screen before. Had to google it after reading the article, and still can't find any other mention of it. In what version of Windows was it used?
Let me guess, you never used ME (Milennium Edition), huh?
Apple patched the API that had previously allowed unlimited attempts to guess passwords. Now, for a company that prides themselves on strict security, this was dumb.
A brute-force program to hack AppleID passwords was recently uploaded to the software-hosting GitHub. The program, appropriately called iBrute, is designed to flood AppleID logons with possible password combinations. The assumption is that the hacker would know the username, often derived from an email address.
Shortly before the stolen images were announced, the owner of iBrute announced the vulnerability — Find My iPhone did not deny access to brute force methods of figuring out a password. Early this morning, the same iBrute owner announced that the vulnerability has been closed, although there has not yet been confirmation from Apple.
iBrute is now reportedly locked out. But there is also speculation that the Find My iPhone hack was not solely to blame for all the apparently stolen files. For instance, someone could trick a celebrity user — or the celebrity’s assistant — into revealing enough information to gain access to iCloud backups. Additionally, it’s possible other online services were involved, since some of the images reportedly show celebrities using Android mobile devices.
As the submitter, and before this/. story gets closed out, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all who posted here.
I laughed at some posts, learned from most. No, this was not meant to be a troll, or a marketing gimmick. It was an honest question from me. I've been greatly helped by everyone's responses. I thank you all.;^)
Keep on doing what you need to do, Rinikusu. The brain does tend to 'max out' on THC, studies show. Over months of use, the brain will only allow itself to get 'so high', and no more. A person needs to stop using to allow the brain to return close to 'normal. Elsewise, it will max out on a person's ability to fully feel it's effects. Like any drug, it has it's limits.
Submissions get voted on, it has nothing to do with Slashdot's editors. Their job is to post submissions while editing them so that any mistakes in the submission are corrected. That is why online/print newspapers have editors.
Well not all of us 'have' a 64gb expansion or room on it to dedicate to music. And not everybody 'wants' to sycn shit with their phone all the time. These people 'need' a streaming app. Stop 'being' such a twit.
Pardon me, didn't mean to get your panties all up in a bunch. No one needs to stream anything, they want to, 'cause it's easier for them.

At least it hasn't gotten worse, though no, not yet a trend.
Why not just go with "Windows iPhone"?

It was either very dumb of Apple to do this, or very deliberate.
