Remember, it's not just the arrested person's privacy that you're violating, it's their entire family.
This isn't exactly true, and is interesting to note; forensic DNA samples just cut up the DNA an measure it's length / terminal sequence. It does not reveal whole genes and thus is unlikely to reveal any genetic disorders. However, after reviewing the law, cheek swabs are to be kept indefinitely, which means the state could potentially get a full sequence at a later data if they were to change the protocol on how sequencing was done.
I have a tiered science consumption starting with PBS / NPR.
PBS / NPR have a vast array of science based shows sources and if you are in Boston, there's 6 over the air PBS channels, so there's usually at least one with some science programming on it. My favs are Nova, Nova Science now, and Scientific American Frontiers and Science Friday
Nature podcasts offer alternative, slightly more bleeding edge world view, but tend to just be teasers.
Then there's the ezines everyone has been mentioning, my favs are: eurekalert.org; newscientist.com; sciencenews.org; and for engineering: gizmag.com
I use to try to watch the Ted talks but have found that the majority of them tend to be more of a sales pitch than actual new and engaging science and have since just let my friends filter them for me via the occasional post to their facebook page
That's been upheld before. This case is just deciding that the federal law trumps state anti-arbitration laws. I find it unconscionable in both cases, and "unconscionable" is supposed to be a way out of contracts, but the existence of the federal law and 5 Republican appointees on the Supreme Court says I'm wrong.
So the states should just change the laws to make the discussion of arbitration in contracts illegail / null & void; then the case should never make it out of the state courts. Call your state representative.
Disclaimer: I'm not an environmentalist, I just disdain sensational journalism.
I sincerely disagree with our supposed tree-hugging friend. There was definitely an anti-carbon free energy theme to the show, try starting right after they slam the Tesla for having a long charge time at 5m30s:
"Before people green people say that's a price worth paying, lets not forget where that electric comes form"
- cue ominous music -
-- cut to a picture of a nuclear power plant--
- switch to car parked in-front of an extremely low powered PERSPONAL wind powered electric generator -
"... [condescending remarks]... to charge a Tezla (sic) from something like that would take 600 hours. That's twenty-five days, and that's assuming it's windy, which... it isn't"
Why the ominous music around Nuclear power? Despite Fukushima, it's still safer / cleaner than coal / petrol.
Who in there right mind would hook the Tesla up to a personal wind based generator?! The wind is suppose to augment regular electricity use. The personal generator is just a way to off set one's emissions by trickling power to the grid while the wind is blowing. Given the music and the number crunching, the show clearly is trying to claim that the Tesla isn.'t a green alternative. Whether or not they spent the time to do this for the Honda is irrelevant. The whole excerpt was entirely irrelevant and unnecessary, yet some how this anti-EV pro-oil propaganda message managed to find it's way into a TV program that's funded by British Taxpayers. Simply outrageous!
Provided your media isn't too obscure I've noticed Boxee is actually able to associate a file name and minimal metadata with content on IMDB and you can use it's search function to look up local media.
I use to think the same thing, until one day I actually witnessed one work. I tried it and sure enough, with in 5 seconds I had an opportunity to cross. Granted, this light was at a non-intersection and specifically designed for pedestrians to cross, but I was still shocked that it was wired.
The Glen Beck show has been shown to incite mass murder plots. If Google is going to be "forced" to remove these videos, then they should have to remove all Glen Beck videos too.
If you really want an ergonomic keyboard get one with a negative slope, I find this does more to relieve strain than just splitting the keys. Years ago Logitech use to resell one that you could get as various off brands that had flop tabs under the hand rest. These days, the only thing I can find in the microsoft natural series of keyboards. I have the wireless one at home, but the mouse is a bit clunky and I've already had to replace it once (one drop on the floor is all it took to render the scroll wheel unusable). I have the wired USB one at work, and just wish they'd make one without a faux leather wrist wrest as it can get a bit grimy.
...Because Bing search sucks and really hurts the user experience
Yes I know, it's really Samsung’s job to realize they are crippling the OS, not Google’s, but my friend has one of those phones and it really left a sour taste in his mouth.
Once you've had sex a few hundred times you might have a different perspective on this. If you get to the point where it's easy to have sex so that it's no longer in short supply, it's not the most fulfilling thing. It's basically a waste of time and energy.
My design firm charges by the hour. If you want a logo that we did in an hour, we can do that, in an hour. The prices is one times our hourly rate. It is not going to be the best logo, but it will only take us one hour.
If you want to have two planning conference calls, a focus group, then six rounds of comps and five final versions for various mediums, a favicon, a 125x125 banner and more, then it cost as much as time as it takes.
If clients do not like this, then can negotiate the world of crowd-sourceing, getting a cousin to do it and mocking it up themselves.
That's exactly why we used croudsourceing we can get all of what you just talked about for the price your design frim would have charged us for an hour (you do know there is there is a feed back element to 99designs don't you?)
The problem with all that is that if you want a change later on, you are on your own, If you need a two color version for a silk screen, you might be SOL. If your cheap logo is not 100% vector, good luck putting it on a billboard or wrapping a vehicle.
*lol* Or you could ask for those perturbations to be submitted as part of a qualification for a winning design (as we did).
Just as anyone can work on their own plumbing or get some cheap person to do it, there will always be a market for creative professionals who know what they are doing.
Exactly, and the problem with most professionals is they are always looking for a way to up-sell you. This is why I pay my neighbor to fix my car instead of some ASE certified knucklehead in a franchised garage.
My thought exactly - Shazam is off my phone and off my list of recommendations to anyone. Now if DC comics would just sue them over infringement, I'd say justice was served.
Troll much?
The awards list alone should be enough to counter your argument that there is a comparable alternative.
Tax dollars account for less than %1 of the operating costs of PBS.
There are NO commercial alternatives for truly important investigative reporting such as FRONTLINE, no commercial childens programming comparable to Sesame Street, no commercial news broadcasts that are willing to do more than a sound bite on any topic other than the PBS World Report.

Samsung phones suck (I've had one and my co-workers do)!! Don't judge android by them. Get an HTC!
Because for some stupid reason Texas controls what's in science textbooks for the rest of the US.

This is the equivalent of someone running up and spray painting the side of an armored truck and declaring victory in defeating their security. lol.

(which is exactly why funny isn't a karma modifier; it's too easy and doesn't contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way).
This is exactly why ALL laws should have an expiration date of no longer than a lifespan.

"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence..."
.... Never (and always) are strong superlatives that one would be wise to avoid.

And yes, I'm doing it right.
...then she's doing it wrong!
No, it's not. Why would someone purposefully cause the value of an investment that they hold to tank?
... when they want to purchase more of that investment *duh*
For all its defects, when the market is working properly it is remarkably efficient.
... And when has the market ever worked properly?

Let's just hope they use a G1 or minimaly MyTouch layout, because the Droid keyboard blows!
You forgot 4, 5, and 6
4. No keyboard (slide out keyboards are a iPhone killers / the reason I didn't upgrade from my G1)
5. 3G service problems
6. Poor costumer support from Google
don't blame the sales model when it's really an issue of inferior hardware.

Just got my class M license last weekend and CEO asked me what kind of bike I was getting; time to discuss a pay raise!
