Indeed. I'm sure the Chinese Government is in favor of more ignorance amongst the populace, not less. It is a tough call, but I would agree that giving some, is better than giving nothing at all.
No but it is a crime if someone has taken you against your will. They're not investigating the person missing for criminal activity but because they think that they have been victimized. Privacy is great, perspective is even better.
Advanced Aliens, having evolved separately from us have a different means of perceiving the Universe. Their senses are not our senses. SETI is searching a very narrow range of frequencies, so it could be that the Aliens are simply broadcasting on one we aren't even aware of. That plus everyone knows that the first step towards extrasolar excursions is manifest psychic abilities;-)
Google also tracks all sorts of web usage statistics for a logged in user, as well as from an IP standpoint. If you can get to the web the way he did you can probably find a lot of information on his previous searching habits, too.
Doesn't the law school know that some of of the 20 somethings today can die without a constant net connection? FFS, you could at least try scaling them back to handhelds first!
The whole, "US may be tracking us," is just a MacGuffin. The reality is their teen's texting charges are flat out killing them. Why do you think they only want the phones on during school hours? Coincedence? Ha! I think not.
Just because they can, should they? Maybe I'm too cynical, but in a world that's already overpopulated it seems counter-productive in the long run to figure out how to make humans the most expensive way possible. I probably need coffee and a Blank Expression.
Many of the engineers I've known in college were absolutely convinced of tehir superiority and absolute rightness in all things. Certainly not all, but a fair chunk. Same with Fundamentalism. To a certain extent its still trying to change the world instead of yourself.
Why do the struggle so with stories related to the word "Mass?" Mass Effect, Weapons of Mass Destruction; they'll probably distort the Catholic Church next.
In other news, New Zealand equips all tractors with laser guided missiles to protect against terrorist sheep
Thank you for one of the funniest mental images I've yet gotten from a slashdot post. Particularly since my imagination expanded on the scenario and had sheep after sheep with dynamite trapped to them throwing themselves at a tractor which kept zapping them with a laser. Would that I had Flash animation abilities. *sigh*
Take it to the next level: completely seal up the arena so no one can observe the game other than the players and you'll have the Wide World of Schrödinger Sports!
They've tried this with a couple Super Bowls already. Or maybe it just seemd like only one team was still in existence.

Not until Netcraft confirms it!
Though I guess the "carefully controlled diet" probably isn't twinkies, Raman, and Monster, eh?
Its not so much the nails in the coffin you need as stakes in the heart. Unfortunately Zune's can only be killed by legitimately purchased stakes.

"Mom, if you were ever in a scented German mobile phone sheisse video, you'd tell me, right?"
"Goodnight Eric."

Not that I ever bought that a small sample, however truly random, really does prove what the larger whole would do.
That's so an initial miss can still be appealed.

Of course. But against lawyers you need to roll a 20 on a d12;-)
Yep. Turns out they needed an unmodified 21 on a d20.

You say that now, but she'll look better after a couple of drinkses.

I would think that requiring an Investigative license for doing invetigative work would be a good thing.
It sounds more impressive than it is. It's just "All work and no play makes Mac a dull toy," typed over and over and over again. Fanboi.
Maybe they thought he knew what the frequency was...

Do we know its sign?
