  3. Or 17 million goes back to the local economy on Red-Light Camera Grace Period Goes From 0.1 To 0.3 Seconds, Chicago To Lose $17 Million (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    since that money stays with the drivers. Just like Media companies claiming billions lost from file sharing when in reality that money was spent on different market sectors and the gov probably made more off corporate taxes since small businesses can't get the same tax loopholes.

    Very few people had phones in Poland at that time. Usually it was a few people meeting at someones house and then passing the info along as it spread though the city through small get togethers.

    or don't bring one at all..

    Then how are you going to coordinate the riot?

    I should ask my mom how they coordinated these protests in the black pre mobile phone ages http://www.lubin82.pl/fotograf... I was (9) at those, still have the smell of tear gas show up once in a while when I smell certain chemicals.

  6. I'm guessing spy agencies on Senate Votes To Kill FCC's Broadband Privacy Rules (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    will be the first customers for this data as well as the Ministry Of Web Browning History.

  7. Its was $50 couple weeks back on Studios Flirt With Offering Movies Early in Home for $30 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Are we in a negotiations stage? If so I would watch any good new release at home on the same day for $10 Give me old movies for $2 each and I'll buy 100's of them if they are cross platform watchable to replace my 800+ dvd collection. Hell even if I lost some of them in say HD crashed I wouldn't care cause @ $2 I'd buy them all again.

    But the stud's want to be a get more blood out of a stone boutique business and charge $50 that only some people would buy vs selling for $2 that tens of millions would buy and re-buy.

  8. Next time do it with drones so you can get a live video feed with 50 angles and control the movement.

  9. Its a test to see how many people on Astronomers Find Star Orbiting a Black Hole At 1 Percent the Speed of Light (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    ask this question "Why are tax dollars funding useless research like this when the money could fund our military or cutting taxes on our businesses." Seems this time Slashdot is the location of this black hole.

  10. Civil forfeiture how's this for crazy in Canada on Police Allegedly Threaten A UK Photographer With Seizure Of All His Computers (wordpress.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Canada especially in BC civil forfeiture is now being used as a punishment in some cases when the crown lost the case. Its sounds crazy but http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... there are other cases and even judges has stated on record that what the Civil Forfeiture office is doing goes beyond the punishment but the judges are power less to over turn it.

  12. Except for Gmail Google services are a joke on Google Hangouts' New Features Make Work Meetings Slightly Less Annoying (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had my business listing show up on the side and at top of search when people searched online for a service like mine in my area. This was for Google business/maps or whatever the hell they call it every 6 months. Had a good Google+ page. Use to get quite a few calls from my shop showing up on the search. Then one day it just disappeared. I got a bit busy with the shop for a few months and was like ok someone did a better job then me and got listed first now BUT not so, somewhere again Google changed their fucking Local Business crap and fully deleted my shop from their social media shit services and maps. When I logged in it stated my listing was removed for some violation which they wont tell you what it is, as they say it might help people to game the system.

    When you submit a review it asks you to link to the page on Google maps/Business BUT when they remove it there is no link as its all been deleted by them.

    Anyways after going WTF it was easier to just deleted the whole account and start over.

  13. Pick a patrern for your passwords on Ask Slashdot: Should You Use Password Managers? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    say like the sites name and select the letters and add in numbers. I use a couple different patterns depending on the type of site. That way I can remember 10's of passwords. 99% of the time it ends up no where near a dictionary word and they are all 8+ characters long.

  14. Well is there is no rage against it on Federal Criminal Probe Being Opened Into WikiLeaks' Publication of CIA Documents (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    next they'll come for you and no one will speak out. If its gotten to the point that the GOV is going after people who leak out illegal acts of GOV agencies that broke laws, democracy at that point is just a facade.

  18. Germans and Open Source on The City of Munich Might Stick With Linux (fsfe.org) · · Score: 1

    The open source movement is quite strong in Germeny. I got this from playing Xonotic which has a strong EU/German presence. Much more open to OSS than North Americans.

  20. I went to a night club about a 1 year ago since about 7 years and 80% of the people in there were wearing tight cut off jeans and florescent tshirt and shit that looked liked I was back in high school in the early 90's. New generation just recycle the same shit although I wont mind when those womens low cut jeans come back instead of the current mom bum 90's look.

    They would have made him wait 8 hours with no food, call the RCMP when he got cranky. The RCMP would then tazer him till his heart stopped and then the two officers would try to cover it up.
