So what if they can identify the make and model of camera. I own a D70. There are 300 billion d70 out there. Good luck on tracking a picture to my camera.
RTFA:
While many people own the same camera models, Pollitt believes that this technique can still be used forensically. He says that because digital cameras have a shelf life of only 18 months, this can help to narrow down when and where it was sold.
Just because it won't immediately narrow it down to a single suspect with perfect accuracy doesn't mean it won't be helpful in investigations.

I've just read the article and I see no mention of that stupid "we should spend it on smart people instead of welfare" claim. Did the submitter just insert that line in at the end, on his own?
Once, in a debate round, I actually used the word defenestrate in a completely un-ironic sense. We were discussing inner-city schools, and my partner talked about how at one school lack of discipline was out of control, and how one principal was actually pushed out of his window. So when I got up there, I started with, "Madame Speaker, educational administrator defenestration is a serious concern facing our great nation today."
It was at least three minutes of laughter before the room settled down enough for me to continue.
Amazingly enough, sometimes there are more complex and intricate ideas that can't really be expressed through a dumbed-down Reader's Digest "That's Outrageous!"
It's a stretch, I know. How about this - go start working your way up by reading TIME & Newsweek; come back when you're mature enough to handle Harper's & The Economist
Hey Kwan...I uh, really enjoy sushi too. Why don't we hang out sometime and have some sushi and...wine? I like walking on the beach talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, do you?
Korean pros practice for so long not to increase their handspeed (which is as fast as it can get) but to get a better grasp on the strategy of the game.
We measure handspeed by BWChart, which calculates your ActionsPerMinute in a game. True - top pros have about 500 or so APM while a newbie has about 60. But one German player (Fisheye) managed to place second at World Cyber Games with an APM of less than 200.
Mouse speed matters none if you don't know what to click or where. Strategy makes up maybe 80% of the game; speed makes up the rest. It's like poker where lukc matters surprisingly little. Just as a bad poker player can't make any use of his luck, a bad starcraft player can't make use of his handspeed.
We should stop celebrating breast cancer awareness and start celebrating breast awareness. Millions of lives are tragically affected by unawareness of the full size and scope of these breasts. Failure to screen breasts early and often can lead to a rapid deterioration of sexy roles and a premature end to one's film career. Regular examination of breasts needs to be an important part of people's lives.
In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penisses, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.
What makes them think that chatting is going to cause the kids grammer to be worse? After looking at some of the papers coming in from kids I don't think that their grammer could get much worse no matter what they did. Of course, some of the teachers that I know spend so much time chatting too, they probably think that writing like that is normal.
I bet you think that grammar is normal too;)

The Israeli Army uses the only fool proof method I know for erasing data off magentic hardrives and is made up of 2 steps:
A. run the Harddrive through a Powerfull Degauser (a rapidly changing electro-Magnet)
B. Shred the Hard drive into pieces less then one square milimeter in size.
However this system may be hard to come by for most of us, and tends to harm the hard drive.
Yeah, in the sense that picking your nose with a bulldozer tends to harm the nostril cartilage.
It's very unfair to group the DC-10 with these disasters. McDonnell Douglas was actually very little at fault for the 3-4 accidents that unfortunately occurred right near each other. The most spectacular crash of the American Airlines flight was actually caused by an AA maintenance crew being dumb and cracking the pylon holding the engine. But thanks to the American sensationalistically hostile TV media, the only thing that everyone saw was the engine falling off the wing, which led everyone to assume it was the DC-10's fault, and led to huge cancellations on flights on the actually safe DC-10. It was a good airplane destroyed by bad press and bad luck.
(If any of you have read Airframe by Michael Crichton, you'll know what I'm talking about...from the NYT review of that very good book:
"And, Casey explains, when something goes wrong, a media industry that has grown hostile and shallow with the ascendancy of television always jumps to the wrong conclusion. Why, just look at what happened to the DC-10, ''a good aircraft . . . destroyed by bad press,'' because the crash of an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Los Angeles in May 1979 was misreported and misunderstood. ")
Some interesting scenarios and experiments: snagging the code off of a security badge and replaying it to gain access to a secure building; vandalizing library contents by wiping or changing tags on books; changing the prices of items in a grocery or other store; and getting free gas by tweaking the ExxonMobil SpeedPass tags.
Interesting, though in today's climate it seems the fourth option is the only real way to make any money off of this.
Microsoft aims 'to eliminate the openness of the Internet, to proprietize the Internet, the lawyer said, adding the groundwork will be laid in Microsoft's forthcoming new operating system, Vista.
Well if that's the case then we have nothing to worry about.

First, it's not the NYT. It's a blog of the NYT. Big difference.
Second, the NYT blog simply asks readers to discuss a list compiled by Common Sense Media of ten games not to buy your children.
So to ascribe the list to the New York Times itself is incredibly misleading.
Seconded. It has like 90%+ market share in AI classes for a reason.
