I was going to post a rant about a kill switch law not going far enough, that we need complete control over our antenna equipped devices, but that seems to be so futile a hope by now.

As I understand it, dashcams in Russia are common because the video is used against the uninsured drivers who do hit and runs. The only way to prove damages is to catch the accident as it happens.
i'm serious bro, when i get the beta site i just can't read slashdot that day then i hope maybe tomorrow it will go away, when the day finally comes that the beta goes live i quit slashdot.
I propose that we boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta.
Moderators - only spend mod points on comments that discuss Beta
Commentors - only discuss Beta
Keep this up for a few days and we may finally get the PHBs attention.

Yeah, he really didn't help his company out by saying that. Being a handsome celeb doesn't mean he's the brightest bulb in the bunch. If you are going to blatantly steal another companys R&D, don't ever admit to it. May be he's too honest to be a spokesperson?
Just read in todays NY Daily news that you can now buy "Pot-E-Cigs" legally in Colorado. One 150 milligram cartridge ($15), or a 500mg ($45). The large size will last even a heavy user for weeks. A 'visitor' to the state can buy 47, residents can buy 188 at a time. Illegal to leave the state with them. Just FYI...
... Not to mention, I also catch a lot of the light from those headlights on my side mirrors, and there's not much I can do about that.
When bright lights are in my sideview mirror, I lift my hand to block the reflection. For oncoming headlights that are too bright, I avert my eyes to the right (I'm in U.S.) and follow the white line on the roadside.
The Pillars of the Earth, is a historical novel by Ken Follett published in 1989 about the building of a cathedral in the town of Kingsbridge, England. It is set in the middle of the 12th century, primarily during the Anarchy, between the time of the sinking of the White Ship and the murder of Thomas Becket. The book traces the development of Gothic architecture out of the preceding Romanesque architecture, and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time.
This morning ABC-TV news reported that they are zeroing in on the thieves (it may be Ukranian hackers), who are having trouble selling the info since there is a glut on the market, not enough buyers. It also reported that phony Target emails are getting sent to affected card holders, customers are being told to go directly to the official Target site to be sure.
In the home of actress Betty White (in her 90's also, and sharp as a tack!), it's considered a sin to throw out an unfinished crossword puzzle. Doing puzzles regularly keeps the brain sharp, especially in old age.
...Turing was arrested for violation of British homosexuality statutes in 1952 when he reported to the police details of a homosexual affair. He had gone to the police because he had been threatened with blackmail. He was tried as a homosexual on 31 March 1952, offering no defence other than that he saw nothing wrong in his actions. Found guilty he was given the alternatives of prison or oestrogen injections for a year. He accepted the latter and returned to a wide range of academic pursuits....
The decoding operation at Bletchley Park became the basis for the new decoding and intelligence work at GCHQ. With the cold war this became an important operation and Turing continued to work for GCHQ, although his Manchester colleagues were totally unaware of this. After his conviction, his security clearance was withdrawn. Worse than that, security officers were now extremely worried that someone with complete knowledge of the work going on at GCHQ was now labelled a security risk. He had many foreign colleagues, as any academic would, but the police began to investigate his foreign visitors. A holiday which Turing took in Greece in 1953 caused consternation among the security officers.
Turing died of potassium cyanide poisoning while conducting electrolysis experiments. The cyanide was found on a half eaten apple beside him. An inquest concluded that it was self-administered but his mother always maintained that it was an accident.
From Wikipedia: Liz Spikol, the senior contributing editor of Philadelphia Weekly, wrote of her ECT in 1996
"Not only was the ECT ineffective, it was incredibly damaging to my cognitive functioning and memory. But sometimes it's hard to be sure of yourself when everyone 'credible' — scientists, ECT docs, researchers — are telling you that your reality isn't real. How many times have I been told my memory loss wasn't due to ECT but to depression? How many times have I been told that, like a lot of other consumers, I must be perceiving this incorrectly? How many times have people told me that my feelings of trauma related to the ECT are misplaced and unusual? It's as if I was raped and people kept telling me not to be upset—that it wasn't that bad."

Sounds like the law is going too far the other way, it's giving the government complete control over your antenna equipped devices.
And we're the suckers who pay good money for the ability to be tracked, spied on, etc... "They" should be paying us.

So, does anyone have any ideas where we are all going to go?

Not exactly identical, a couple of keys on the right side are labeled differently. But hey, it's not like Blackberry's using it's keyboards lately...
