Violent criminals don't generally buy their guns at hunting stores, they buy them from illegal gun dealers.
Or steal them from people who own them legally (but somehow never learned to store them properly).
Or smuggle them into the country from a neighboring country that has lax control over weapons.
Or buy/steal them from other criminals who have done one of the above.
Still, the point stands. Less guns in general in a society means less people getting shot.
BTW, even for those departments that don't have video, many cops these days carry mobile audio recorders and they push "record" when they talk to suspects.
Yup. My brother does this.
If the guy in the back seat won't stop trash talking and generally being a loudmouth asshole, he simply puts the recorder on the dash, and presses record in a visible dramatic sort of way.
Instant silence, and politeness from the back seat.
Even if I have to carry a gun illegally, I will continue to do so. I will NOT walk around like a defenseless sheep waiting to be attacked by the wolves. I will NOT be a photo on the front page about how police found me dead.
Wow. Is it really that dangerous in the USA? I had no idea.
My son builds vehicles and structures with his Lego.
My daughter builds things for her Minifigs with her Lego.
My son drives his hot wheels cars to places. (Often over imaginary jumps and terrain that would make Bo & Luke Duke shy away)
My daughter's hot wheels cars have conversations with each other.
When given the same amount of money to spend at a local thrift store, my daughter bought a car for her Barbie to drive. (even though there were also a lot of "pretty things" that she could have chosen for Barbie)
My son bought books (and a bit of Lego)
Both can earn computer time (supervised, of course) and their activities, even how they use the same programs, differs greatly.
Boys and girls think different, and like different things. The results of this survey should not come as a huge surprise.
In the past there have been more females in sci/tech, but have they stuck with that career path, or have they changed to something else later in life? Everyone tries stuff out, and often people (male and female) decide to change paths later in life, as they discover what their true interests are.
While many people own the same camera models, Pollitt believes that this technique can still be used forensically. He says that because digital cameras have a shelf life of only 18 months, this can help to narrow down when and where it was sold.
1) RE: Originally sold. My 7 year old carries a 4 Mpixel camera that we bought at a yard sale, which that guy bought off E-bay. "They" might be able to tell that the picture of interest was taken by a camera originally sold at a WalMart in upstate New York, not that it was taken by a kid in Winnipeg.
2) RE: "shelf life". Of the 25+ cameras that my extended family own, none are newer than 18 months. Most are 2-3 years old.
Surprised? Not really. I've seen it.
Knowing that criminals always go for the easy targets first, due to their inherent laziness does make me sleep better.
The book lists over 50 Google services and applications which collect personal information. From mail, alerts, blogging, news, desktop, images, maps, groups, video and more. People are placing a great deal of trust into Google as each time they use a Google service, they are trusting the organization to safeguard their personal information.
Oh, you mean they're agrigating my fake personal information. I don't care what they do with that.

The only thing a search for my real name returns is an interview in a newspaper from a charity event several years ago. And several other people who share my less-than-common name.

Wouldn't there be huge amounts of interference if the spectrum was unlicensed? Could someone not just make a jammer for the frequencies in question and spoil it for everyone? Or do FCC laws cover that even when it's not formally licensed? IANAEE.
If a Part 15 transmitter does cause interference to authorized radio communications,
even if the transmitter complies with all of the technical standards and equipment
authorization requirements in the FCC rules, then its operator will be required to cease
operation, at least until the interference problem is corrected.
Here is a PDF from the FCC entitled "UNDERSTANDING THE FCC REGULATIONS
FOR LOW-POWER, NON-LICENSED TRANSMITTERS", which is exactly the rules which would be applicable to the hardware used for accessing the White-Space Broadband Spectrum .
No. Neither should we have declared war on Bin Laden.
Correct.
Handling a criminal matter with a military response is a big part of the quagmire the USA has managed to get itself into. (See also "war on...$concept")
Use the right tool for the job, and you might have a chance if succeeding.
Same here in Canada.
I even tried some Canadian bands, just for fun. Still "not viewable from outside the USA".

IMO, a bigger concern is actually that there is no control of precisely what lies on the other side of a hyperlink... if I put one on my site, and 6 months from now, long after I've likely forgotten about it, the owner of the linked ite decides to put up libel, where does that leave me?
It leaves you explaining to the judge that all files have easily queried "last modified" timestamps (Yes, I know they can be faked). Also, the Wayback Machine (and any other archive or cache) will also have datestamps on any snapshot of the 2 sites that they might have archived.
I would think someone would have a pretty easy time getting acquitted. (IANAL, YMMV, etc)
Like every thing else that gets a death penalty, it'll only stop the same people from repeating the crime, once they're caught.
It won't stop new spammers from popping up before the first one's body is even cold.
Also it has some big practical advantages. The ICE can be made smaller, and can be optimized for its task and made to operate at only at its ideal RPM
Thank you.
That's one thing that so many people seem to overlook. Gas/diesel/methane/whatever powered ICEs can be relatively cheap/clean to run if they are constrained to operating at their peak efficiency.
It won't have any immediate effect, but when the gambling companies go to change their nameservers, transfer domains between themselves, etc. they'll be stymied. As time goes on, this will become more of a thorn in their sides.
Or, as their renewal date approaches, they'll just register a new domain name (possibly under a non ".com" TLD... maybe the national TLD of where they are physically located), and announce the name change on their site for 6 months or so.
Business as usual.
Simply saying (typing) their name isn't a violation, it's fair use.
The defendant created a list of landowners (culled from the public record) with links to those owners, and posted it online.
How can linking to someone's web page and stating "they own this" (I.E. stating a fact) be a violation of copyright?
Or maybe they want to sue everyone who reads the sign on their building aloud too...
When I am bored (standing in an endless lineup, waiting for a delayed flight, etc) I often look at my surroundings. I used to install video equipment, so I look at the installed video monitors and cameras.
Is noticing security cameras (and the quality of their installation) in an area suspicious?
I am a model railroader. Is is suspicious that I take pictures of trains and their environment so that I can build more accurate models?
I studied architecture for a time.
Is it suspicious that I spend a lot of time looking at (and sometimes photographing) interesting buildings?
Am I acting suspicious when I notice a guard of some sort watching me doing the above, and that I am curious as to how he might react to my perfectly harmless activities in these highly paranoid times?
I expect if someone actually posted online using their real name, they should expect someone to find those postings and use them against the poster.
I'm constantly surprised that so many people post stupid shit about themselves using their full real name.
Also, just for fun, I googled my real name (which is not especially common) and I found three other prople who share the same name in the top 5 hits. The real me appeared once in the top 10 (I was interviewed by a newspaper as part of a charity event several years ago)

Business as usual.
The judge included this line in his order:
"The domain names' configurations shall otherwise remain unchanged."
So - the state is not permitted to use the siezure to shut down the sites.
So then, what's the point of this exercise?
Or is the judge just handing the state a hollow victory for some reason?
