But if your suspect hasnt been taken into custody as of yet? Why not just 'swab' the entire world population.
The UK has the world's largest citizen DNA database. Just about any encounter you have with the UK police, irrespective of your age and state of guilt or innocence, will result in your DNA being taken and integrated into their database.

As signatories of the 1996 WIPO Copyright treaty, Canada is legally obliged to create a DMCA type law. They signed up to this already - it is just a matter of implementation.
"It was actually developed in response to a prank by MIT researchers who generated a paper from random bits of text and got it accepted for a conference."
It was a freaking fake conference, wasn't it, so does
it matter if fake papers are presented ? I see http://fakeconferences.org/ has been taken offline. The chill wind of lawyers perhaps.
You have. It is not news but then this is Slashdot.
The association between autistic children and parents with scientific / engineering backgrounds was established years ago. Even Baron-Cohen's work on this is from 1997 which was NINE years ago.
No, you would correctly say Canada-based and this is backed up by the OED. In such cases the word 'based' should follow a noun (singular). So we say Earth-based, land-based, water-based, US-based etc.
Of course, common usage may diverge from the ideal and that, in turn, will change the convention. The ignorant always win out in the end.
You have to do science to be a scientist. The gathering and publishing of facts and observations is not science and those that do it are not scientists. Even a statistical analysis of a bunch of facts isn't science either as it can be done with little thought or consideration.
Explaining how these facts can, or can not, be integrated into our existing body of knowledge in a systematic, consistent and coherent fashion is science. It's about understanding and not just knowledge. That's the difference.
The problem is, as usual, that few people can distinguish between what is science, what is technology and what is nonsense. Those that merely state the obvious (i.e. well known facts) are not scientists.
is time shifting the new buzzword for recording?
AFAIK, the phrase has been in use for over twenty years so it is hardly new.
In many countries (if not all) using a VCR to copy TV programmes off-air is only permitted for the purposes of 'time-shifting', i.e. to watch a programme *once* at a later time. It is clear in this case that the copy is a temporary one that enables the broadcast time to be shifted to a time which is more convenient for viewing.
Of couse, current technology permits 'simultaneous' recording and play-back
so that one can time-shift by a period much less than the duration of the broadcast - the phrase has thus taken on a new dimension.
The WiFi data-link layer may not be encrypted in 80% of cases but that doesn't mean that encryption isn't used or enforced at a higher level. You can run VPN, SSL, ssh etc. quite happily over what might appear to be an 'insecure' WiFi link.
As WEP isn't that robust there seems to be little point in deluding oneself - thus many networks will be unencrypted at that layer by design rather than by default.
Tell me how many wireless networks you can associate with and actually use.

...because they are merely a bunch of people with a particular agenda. The status of a 'Think Tank' report is no different to comments on Slashdot although they might be better researched and spell-checked. There are no entry qualifications required so why treat them with unnecessary respect ?
Don't worry about them as it only gives them credibility.

Can we pool these Jeri Ellsworth threads together or get one of the modded right up?
That list is useless. How can any 'Geek Girl' list not have Jeri Ellsworth? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeri_Ellsworth

I'll come back next week and point it out again.
PG's 'Shock the Monkey' remix competition was started in June 2006. The competition is over now.

It is reassuring to see someone state this every now and again. I must get a T-shirt printed.

Ah, someone on slashdot with a memory longer than a goldfish! Mod this up!

Nothing to see here - move along.
This is NOT new technology. This is a new appliance. Google for "biomedical optics".
The above is modded as funny but the point is entirely correct. Security through obscurity is no security at all.
The answer is very probably. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4699349.stm
Did they also mention they had just stepped out of a time-machine from the mid-1990's ?

You forgot the correct technical nomenclature that we have come to expect on Slashdot, namely "beowulf cluster".
Sounds very, very convincing to me.
You know lambs, wolves... oh, just forget it.
I for one, welcome our new CO2 adapted, heat-loving overlords.
