It looks like that North Reading MA address is no longer valid:
"Among other things, the jury returned a general forfeiture judgment of $2.7 million against BUCCI, and judgments of forfeiture of his house at 23 Marshall Street in North Reading, a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche SUV, a boat, and $35,000 in a bank account."
Do they have to keep track of every single decay particle? They could probably get rid of a lot of data no one is going to consult that way. On the other hand if you are going to spend that much money on CERN every bit of data coming out has a significant price on it.
Ironically, they didn't consider the cold war and thermonuclear bombs to be justification to build hardend power lines. So a couple of guys with a truck full of TNT is a bigger threat now?
What if they start using those wall penetrating IR cameras? Do I have to start lining the walls of my house with concrete to get an expectation of privacy?
I always felt that most of the time the police are glorified janitors. They clean up after the act has already been committed. If someone doesn't care about the consequences then all of the cameras and uniforms in the world won't make much of a difference.

You must have known the guards at a place I used to work at.
Don't make fun of tuners. Don't you know that they discovered that the noiser your exhaust the more powerful your car becomes? Just by slapping a stainless steel sewer pipe to your car you can add 40hp! If it makes life miserable for people in the neighborhood then it's 50hp.
I would love to have this just for the sake of actually being able to use programmable function/macro keys. I program them then can never remember what key does what and end up not using the keyboard functionality I paid for. I don't want to use labels because I want to have different sets of funcs for different apps.
I think I speak for most consumers when I say "Thank You" for being a bleeding edge v1.0 tech buyer and weeding out and debugging the market for the rest of us v3.0 buyers.
Of course it would be MUCH more useful if apps supported it. Rich people would probably prefer to have someone provide the key images for them instead of having to develop their own for all their keys for each app. That will only happen if enough people buy these keyboards to make it worth the software company's time and $, and that will only happen if they bring the price down so it just isn't a rich person's toy.
I'd also hope the Optimus folks make the keyboards open enough to allow people to develop their own keyboard mods and post them freely. THAT would really increase their desireability.
"The prostitution business there is nearly exclusively recruiting from the lowest social classes and has always done so. Such prostitutes come both from within their own countries and increasingly from Eastern European countries where social problems still are a lot worse, and the "employment situation" is nearly never an equitable one."
I could say the same thing about the landscaping business, factory workers, migrant farmers, etc except in the US they come from Mexico or Central America.
I think that today's big garbage dumps will become the mines of the future. They must be full of scrap Al, Fe, plastics for hydrocarbons, etc. It'll require advances in materials seperation though.
The problem with electronics waste has always been one of mixed materials. There is no clean and easy way to seperate the components without a lot of manual labor which is expensive in the US, cheap in China. No one wants recyclers trying to burn off the plastics (dioxins, mercury) or using chemicals either. We really need some research into improving the clean extraction and seperation of materials from assembled goods.
Your glass bottles and paper bags are pretty much free of the mixed materials issue (though recyclers like keeping the clear glass seperate from the colored glass) so they are more likely to get recycled here.
Back in my day we didn't use our hands to scrap ships, we used our teeth while using our hands to sew counterfit handbags for the Hong Kong market AND WE LIKED IT!

Even the Mafia can't keep people from informing. I don't see this website doing much better.

I assume this would apply to all of those nice indie college stations too. Be careful what you wish for.
Sorry, but my experience in school proved that very little can penetrate my thick skull.

Ha ha, Mars wets its crust!

I'm going to program my colon key to turn into an animated smiley.

Just watch Ebay, I'm sure the first stolen ones should start appearing there soon at a fraction of the price!

Ummm, $1500 you say? Hold on, let me get my wallet...

This is why I always recycle all of my old code. Cut, paste, done!
I've only seen analog dumps. Everything from irrational numbers to floating decimals piled high.

I find the people who cheer other's deaths are as creepy as the people being killed.
