Actually, as a military police officer, we have a saying shared by other police agencies, "Fruit of the poisonous tree". if the means in which the evidence is obtained is illegal, then the evidence cannot be used. The 4th Amendment protects every citizen, not just suspects. In fact, only suspects can be searched. Either by a warrant or a good faith search.
Why not label it as a movie with "bonus features". All you need is a few quicktime events or a cutscene and you're good. Most bluerays have minigames in them now days.
Exactly. Back then you had to type what you wanted to do. Now days people just use the action cursor and spam it all over the screen until the solution is automatically given to you.
It's replaced the user intent (push, pull, climb, take, move, play, turn, lift, pick, pry, catch, jump, eat, steal, drink, etc) with *ACTION CLICK*
Where's the parental oversight? He kid could just as easily be making calls to Cambodia and frequenting 1-900 numbers. If they're old enough to make virtual transactions it's a good time to start teaching them about personal finance. If a parent signs a contract with a company and then hands the device that's signed for to his child, the parent is STILL ultimately responsible.
Buying smurfberries with someone else's money after you run out is very common in real life. It's called "raising taxes to fill a budget gap".
Doesn't ketchup contain onions, celery, and other veggies? At least the brands I use do... Maybe you're thinking of the cheap kind with chemical stabilizers.
Don't get me started on how politicians reclassified tomatoes from fruit to vegetables so they could tax is higher.
This article had every single logical fallacy in the book.
Tying the genes factors that contribute to a likely-hood of being religious may have have qualities in common with a stable family life... Like, i dunno, "trust". There's basically a lot of assumptions made throughout the entire article. Any of which given a proper error analysis would cause the conclusion to fall apart.
Also, the assumption that future "religious gene" carriers will be in an organized religion. There's a lot of things that people become "religious" towards. Kings, talk show hosts, drugs, sports teams, presidents, pseudoscience, etc. Just look at Obama supporters. It's so obvious that you can parody it without much stretching of the imagination. Example.
Exactly, how does more government controls of all industrial companies' software make for a more secure application? If anything, they'll want their own special back-door access which will itself be a security risk.
The reason we live in a Republic is because a true Democracy almost always degrades into mob rule and eventually an Oligarchy. When stepping back and looking at the big picture, it becomes more obvious that's it's happening right now.
Correct, because those have a rule that lets you bypass the filibuster. (3/5 or 60 Senators or the Constitutional Option which it a majority.) I doubt the DDOS attack had a window that asked, "Do you want to be DDOSed? Yes/No".
It's surprising how simply varying the time it takes to release the energy makes such a large difference. Take candles for instance; The combustion of paraffin wax released about 42 kJ of energy per gram. Pretty impressive.
How well will it determine half truths? Will a person voting something as truthy actually know if the tweet is the truth or will it simply be a vote for or against a political party? I feel it will be the later. Does it include SEIU memos along with Twitter feeds? How about Acorn memos? DNC news feeds?
From the FAQ, it says that it uses crowdsourcing to determine a tweets truthiness. So it's basically a competition between left-wing and right-wing truthiness voting.
The problem is that liberals use unions and political organizations to organize astro-turfing while conservatives seem to use word-of-mouth and social networking to a much larger degree.
I guess the best test will be the upcoming "Million Moderate March" on Oct. 30th.
Exactly. While I was in Iraq, I had the chance to meet a lot of nice Iraqi's. It's those 1% douchebags that like to bomb markets with innocent civilians that get all the attention. And it's not like you run into a lot of those when hiking out in the mountains.
This, of course, is only true under the assumption that it's the neutrinos that are really causing the increase in radioactive decay. The article does mention that there were many unknowns in the measurements. It may be something else that causes this increase, or even a combination of two. It may also be the case that more neutrinos, the rate at which they're emitted, or other interacting fields alter the effect.

Us nerds have already moved on to Rock-Paper-Scissors-Spock-Lizard a long time ago.
Been there, done that, got the shirt.

Where did I put that instruction booklet so that I can get the proper ingredients for the spells and not turn myself into a something.

Phase one of building our own monolith to nurture the growth of intelligent life is complete.

... That for every $1 the government raises in increased taxes, they'll spend an additional $1.10.
if it was fireworks, the birds would be dying in other locations around the US and at other times, such as 4th of July.
This incident took place in a one square mile near the city.
In truth, these pants direct the electricity to the wearer's nutsack, slowly sterilizing stupid people that buy these pants.

They do more than just take great pains to never teach those qualities, they go out of their way to punish students that disagree with their views.
But can it survive an X5, or higher, solar storm? All the wires that must run to the surface would be definite weakness.
Wait, wait, this "new" type of crime requires a whole new level of police enforcement. Therefore, we need more tax revenue to pay for that department.
So don't be angry about the taxes, it's for the children. If you're against this tax, you're against children!

I'm still waiting for the Cyborg-whatever crimes. Those will be much more interesting times.
ISPs can outsource this job to China. They already have decades of experience and this allows the ISPs to lay blame on the next customer service call.

No, but I once ended up in the Twelfth Plane of Torment on my way to the kitchen.
