Is it not possible to conduct some tests on these offenders to determine the risk of repeating the crime? Some people will change after paying time in jail, some will never change.
If someone's going to commit the crime again, I believe it's not too difficult to remove the tracker and get on with the business in a short period of time, which means it'll still be too late for the victims.
Imagine if MJ was found guilty in Florida, paparazzi would have rejoiced. Actually not, the boy was 13.
How can email be reliable for critical information? It can be lost easily, email address can be mispelled, the internet connnection can be down, computer that is checking the emails can be down, recipient can be playing games and didn't see the incoming emails.
You want something spectacular, how about this site? However I sincerely hope no one does something stupidacular like setting a living fox on fire.
By the way, I really need a pair of amazing spectacle to read the counter. I keep hitting F5 which causes the counter to reset to 49,253,815, how "weird".
Is this the same stunt like what Gmail is doing with its 2134.752100 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message?
The fewer components you have, the less likely you are to encounter a failure.
I remember reading something about most space missions are pre-determined and very straight forward, there's no need for difficult maneuver like one has to execute in a X-Wing.
Having said that, there are still plenty of complicated, unexpected problems in space, but these problems have to be analysed and decision made by people on earth.
I guess it's all circumstantial, I can't even operate my 2001 Toyota electric window if the engine's dead, but my 1989 Toyota has no such problem. So if I crashed into a river, I hope I was driving the '89, but if I'm crashing into another car, I want my '01.
The survey didn't mention how subjects were selected, what if some of them are also drug users? And I think people are more willing to reveal their email addiction than their drug adddiction.
I believe it's more about social-acceptability. If the respondents think that being distracted by emails is not unacceptable (as shown in the article), they will allow themselves to be distracted.
Next up we will see how sex lower people's IQ. Imaging you're answering questions in front of naked marketing chicks.
I'm trying to think of some uses for this expensive gadget.
Maybe for company with some employees in the office, some on the road, this and that, they can buy a few shells and share among staff?
So the sales guy with his core will take a PDA shell out, and when he's back to the office, he can plug his core into a desktop shell and work immediately without the need to sync data, especially if it is sync'ing into somebody else's desktop.
Like the article said, Adobe was simply acting out of fear, uncetainty and doubt. Microsoft already has a competent flagship MS Paint, it doesn't need anything else.
And what about Gimp? Is it really not a threat to Adobe at all?
It'll be fun to watch if Microsoft hinted that it's looking at forking Gimp, Adobe will go nuts about that!
Will we be seeing movies with built-in flags, so that parents only need to configure the player to skip [sex(base 1/2/3/4)], [violance(blood 1/2/3/4)] etc, it'll be similar to the rating/parental card on cable TVs except with better, more specific control over the content.
Parents may be more likely pay a bit more for these "pre-screened" DVDs than using ClearPlay's service - A bite-back from the movie industry?
The main thing is, if something breaks, the company just puts its hands up and says "opps, sorry it's a Beta", and I bet there will still be plenty of users (businesses) who are willing try them.
In addition to the accountability shift, companies can roll out patches in a more timely fashion. With beta-security-patch, MS is free to distribute patches to plug holes even on a daily basis.
One believes this kind of fake files will only add burden to the internet, as users will just download one fake file after another until they got a hit.
The other believes that such annoyance will put most people off, because the total time/cost it takes to acquire something is now higher than the actual product.
I don't think MP3s will be affected because you can start playing the song if you've got the first bit. Can/will other file formats do that too?
This might not be the only case, we might see a lot of me-toos lawsuits soon.
And to watch the watchers, the outcome may have already suggested a solution - some sort of peer reviews, his co-worker did find out his activity right?
I thought that using GPL fonts only make your document's presentation subject to the GPL, since fonts only change presensation of the information but not the information itself.
So isn't it the case either you can use the fonts, or not.
After TheRegister made up Linus' previous quotes, I'm not sure how am I going to read quotes like "There are times when Linus Torvalds can be a real idiot, and this is one of these times".

Is it like moderation and meta-moderation in Slashdot? In the end nothing matters.
Can someone please enlighten me where I can buy radio (audio) clips of H2G2?
From my understanding it's broadcasted in some UK radio network, are there places selling the clips like songs in MP3s?
Disney will be joining the battle soon as Tiger is misleading to Tigger.
You are not addressing his question, did you mean hard- or soft-core?
...snap a picture or two of it, which helped identify which spider...
That's why I always carry a 2lb fire extinguisher with built-in MP3 player with me just in case.

How about under this condition then?
To find out the gender of a visitor, just create a site which requires visitors to hold one key while moving the mouse.

Interesting, from two wheels to four wheels.

Didn't Google start all this?

I guess there are two schools here.
One believes this kind of fake files will only add burden to the internet, as users will just download one fake file after another until they got a hit.
The other believes that such annoyance will put most people off, because the total time/cost it takes to acquire something is now higher than the actual product.

Are they subject to filtering soon too?
From the friendly article:
Graham said AOL puts its chat room monitors through "rigorous screening and training procedures," including a criminal background check.
and
The man, who was 23 when he met the girl online, has not been charged with a crime.
This might not be the only case, we might see a lot of me-toos lawsuits soon.
And to watch the watchers, the outcome may have already suggested a solution - some sort of peer reviews, his co-worker did find out his activity right?

Or maybe, instead of a fixed quota for each brand, they're buying only one brand now, because of some fancy cost-benefit analysis.
