DNA testing probabilities go something like this.... we found say 5 markers that match the defendant and the sample. (I picked a small number to make the example shorter) each of those has the following probabilities of occuring in a random person :
1) 1 in 1000 2) 1 in 10 3) 1 in 10000 4) 1 in 7 5) 1 in 100
so we multiply all those together and get a probability of mismatch of : 1 in 7,000,000,000
I even told a guy at the state crimelab that was stupid - not that he cared.
It's worth a read of the xbox live forums before coming to a conclusion - Replacing defective fans seems harmless but the MS helpers say it's grounds to ban your console.
Hard to say - Microsoft isn't helping themselves when they say "You were banned for violating our TOS - we're not going to tell you which term or how you violated it because that's our policy".
There are quite a lot of tests planned over the next few years - Today was first stage performance / guidance / separation & recovery testing - the rest of the rocket was just a mock-up.
Any kind of criminal is an easy target for politicians to beat up on without losing votes. Why ? Because the USA (and china) still bar felons from voting in many cases.
State laws vary wildly on how classifications are made - here (washington state) there was a report on the TV about a level 3 in the area. Police openly he was classified level 3 because he was currently living in a motel and it would be lowered if he moved to more permanent housing.
There are proposals going around across the country to add "Violent" crimes to the list of offenses requiring registration, scope creep is a huge problem, before you know it they'll make you register because you had a parking ticket.
Doesn't help when the high school senior who had sex with his girlfriend who happened not to have had her birthday yet - they still list it as "Rape of a child"
This is pretty simple sega is not selling an emulator but rather a game which consists of game rom + emulator. If they were selling a general purpose sega emulator it would likely not be allowed by apple either.
I've even had companies that sell rebranded sprint service refuse to activate a sprint branded phone on their network, claiming the system they use to activate phones with the sprint network won't accept ESNs from sprint branded phones.
The "industry standard" claim is still as crap as the first time somebody made it. If the water was 60F above the recommended temp for brewing coffee it would have been steam.
The ATF were given a chance to argue the science, their answer went something like "we're right and you're wrong, so there" - the judge didn't go for it.
The task set for them was very simple, establish standard burn rates for materials that a) just burn b) deflagrate c) explode and compare APCP to those rates. When their own tests determined that APCP burned slower than paper they decided just declare that paper wasn't an explosive and APCP was. They also exaggerated the burn rate of APCP massively by using obviously incorrect measurements.
Experts for the hobbyists produced a wealth of data that contradicted ATF's claims and ATF just basically said that it didn't matter because they were right.
I don't see them issuing new regulations as the science is against them.

Why do they publish a 64 bit version of office but tell you not to use it ?
But getting a comparison that detailed will require a pristine sample from the crime scene.
What if I'm adopted and unknown to me my twin brother lives in the same town ?

Dont you mean Textbooks also come in Braille and Kindle versions ? The kindle version does nothing to prevent the Braille version from existing.

Right here : Console ban info

From experience - they won't allow her to join because her expected royalties are too small.
I would imagine that Nokia is already collecting from the chipset manufacturers.

Idaho prosecutes kissing in public between an 18 year old and a 17 year old as "Lewd conduct with a minor" - sounds terrible doesn't it?

Jailbreak the device and install your own apps - apple doesn't really stop you from doing this.

Hmmm killing by estoppel, how does that work ?
Dangerous ? His actions are unconstitutional - federal court is the right forum for that.
How hard would it be to synthesize ammonium perchlorate from APCP?
Makes about as much sense as buying 4 cases of soda because you need 2 cups of sugar for a recipe.
All kinds of chemicals you can make explosives out of are mostly unregulated, why goof around trying separate AP out of commercial rocket propellent.
The FAA regulates them. That seems to make sense for something that flies.

i'm going with Zeno's paradoxes and arguing that movement and therefore measurement of it is impossible,
