...or at least, there is witness testimony strongly suggesting the bomber had inside help in the airport to get him past normal security, the answer is "No, full body scanners will not stop terrorists." What good is a full body scan if you have people on the inside that can get you past the scanner?
Diplomatic Immunity doesn't mean they get to violate our laws, it just means they don't go to jail for violating our laws. If complaints start to pile up (thanks to the ACLU I'm sure) then they will loose their immunity.
Yeah, it's good way to brick-your-brain. Let the weirdos of the underworld test this out on themselves. There are a lot of humans (usually of the clubbing type) that are perfectly willing to act as guinea pigs because they buy into the idea that the "next thing" is going to open their mind to a whole new world. Let the successes rise out of that mountain of failures (bricked brains) and in 20 years we might actually have some functional neurostim products.
Exactly. They have the logic backwards. What if an area didn't get covered in spraying? So that area would be "dark" and they think it's safe? Yikes, that's a false negative. They need to reverse it to avoid that false negative.
If the bacteria only glow WITHOUT the presence of landmine. That way, at best you get false positives which is less dangerous than a false negative, in this situation.

Use one 256bit Blowfish password to access ALL of your passwords. Your phone goes everywhere with you, so do your passwords. If you lose your phone, no big deal. Chances are that person doesn't have the resources to crack that encryption.
Best part is you can use it to fill in forms for websites you visit on your phone, which is good because typing in obscure passwords on a phone can be a challenging feat.
I dipped my head in this aluminum oxide paint, and it keeps all their signals out. Granted, I look somewhat like a cyborg now, but this stuff should work just fine for an office trying to keep their signals in.
Yeah, but Carl Sagan is dead, so there aren't many other ways to make it seem like he's singing. If anything, this is the most appropriate use of autotune technology I've seen to date: Making the dead come back to life in a new way.
if I were taking a walk around my state's capital square and witnessed an apparent civilian with a rifle "safely slung" over their shoulder, you'd better fucking believe I'd wonder about intent. And then I'd quickly guide my family away in the opposite direction (.
In certain contexts, the only purpose to openly carry in this manner would be to make some kind of political statement. [emphasis is mine]
So you would quickly guide your family away from someone making "some kind of political statement"? Why would you do that? Are you afraid your family might learn something about the 2nd Amendment?
I'm just trying to understand why you would be afraid of someone making a political statement, as you put it.
I wonder why the Katabatic winds don't blow there. I thought the entire continent was pretty much consumed by these winds. Learn something new everyday.
With respect, I doubt that'll be in the 'near' future for these. The problem with recording video is that you actually have to capture the photons to do that. Capture the photons on the recording media, and they are no longer available for the eye to 'see'.
Interesting objection, but easy to overcome. You do realize that the lens also will also have the ability to project light into the eye, right? So why not just project the capture back into the eye? In fact, this could be a feature. The user would have the ability to turn off the recording to see reality, or turn it on to see replicated reality, in-other-words, a video feed of what they are "seeing" (of course augmented with whatever information the user wants). You could adapt filters to this incoming replicated reality, like various video effects or themes, like zombie filters so that all humans look like zombies (random thought, I know), or characters from your favorite MMO, or to adapt landscapes to match your favority movie, like having Transformers flying around or battling in the streets above you.
"Low Priority Traffic" = Names on the "terrorist" watch list, journalist posting a non-desirable story exposing government corruption, citizens attempting to organize a protest, etc.
This is Network "Control". Not control like in TCP, more like Psychological Control.
Another inevitable function of this contact lens is recording video. Everything you see passes through this lens, so you will be able to record everything you see (except, of course, for dreams and hallucinations).
British Police: "Tell us your password."
Me: "For the 100th time, fuck you, I will not tell you my password ever."
British Police: "Oh, you want to be cheeky? Tell us your password or you're going to prison!"
Me: "For the 100th time, fuck you, I will not tell you my password ever."
British Police: "This is a matter of bloody national security, you'll get 5 years!"
Me: "For the 100th time, fuck you, I will not tell you my password ever."
British Police: "He refuses to submit, send him to jail!"
Me: "Great, I'll see you in court. You recorded that conversation, right?"
British Police: ???

Don't take my word for it, listen to this NPR interview: Attorney witnessed bomber before flight had already bypassed security with no Passport

Right? Or am I acting like a sheeple?

I was trying to do the same sort of thing with assbook.com where users can exchange photos of their asses.

James Cameron was right when he said Avatar is the FUTURE of movies to come: DRM'd to the crippling point.
Chips Ahoy!

Could all the "junk" DNA that we supposedly don't use maybe have some sort of structural stabilization function?
That isn't "junk" DNA, that's God's comments inside the code you insensitive heretic!
I would imagine that not having a pulse would be a great advantage for snipers. That is unless they need to run, of course.

I'm sure Carl would approve
What about all the spam that comes through comments? Now why would Google create another way for advertisers to....oh, wait...

You may only label it an "untechnique".
Anyways, I unthink this idea of unschooling children is quite unstupid.

But I digress.
Exactly. In fact, diverting a percentage of the incoming light would serve as a form of adaptive sunglasses.
Actually, I was thinking more in the direction of "And here I am, banging my super-hot ex-girlfriend for the 1st time...when we were 18."
I know, this is Slashdot, so that scenario wouldn't really apply to anyone here. The driving one, how ever...

That, and you'll end up with an army of ants swarming the sugary concoction. Pretty much all insects will find it tasty.
This is obviously a plot by the Society of Birds to make more food for their feathered friends.
