small correction there: a polygraph doesn't detect anything.
Yes and no.
The polygraph measures and records several physiological indices such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while the subject is asked and answers a series of questions. It is the interpretation of those physiological indices that are used to "detect".
Trademarks have a relationship with the product. Groupon's product had no relationship to GNOME's product.
GNOME saw an opertunity to get a bunch of Open Source Zelots in a frenzy over a closed source commercial platform for - GASP - making money and flew with it.
You all know about the Mug Shot sites? They will remove your mug shot for $500? That's what this crap is. These assholes want to start a whole new angle on this scam: They will remove your police interaction (arrest or no arrest) for a price. Or maybe they will advertise your moment on the front page of their extortion web site.
Additionally, 3 years to provide the video is complete bullcrap
Three years is not for a single video, but all of them. And all of them would need to be reviewed before release.
A previous post suggested (and I agree that it's fairly obvious) that not all records produced by public agencies are required to be released.
This yahoo should have to specify parameters that narrow down the request to something in a specific relevant range. Otherwise, it's just some asshole who doesn't like cops being a pain in the ass. It's a "nuisance" request that should be rejected.
You know, these same idiots bleating that these are "public records" and *ALL* public records must be disclosed are the same folks that bash police for being resistant to body cams. It's a shame, but these people come off simply as trouble makers. Remember this case when you opine for body cams in YOUR municipality.
What is the point of linking to the "GizMag" article which is only a regurgitation of the NASA article? Oh, that's right, page views on some Dice website.
If one looks at the top article posters, many (though certainly not all - Hugh Pickens for example, though perhaps a closer look at his links is due as well) are Dice shills. The relationship between articl posters and Slashdot is very incestuous.
"Something" in this case isn't an old Camaro on blocks, it's a piece of historical construction with the blood of citizens on it.
None the less, it didn't come with the purchase of the building. Thus, Google is correct in asserting that a proper home not in Google's building is appropriate.
This has exactly nothing to do with if or not Google has, as a company, any opinion about this valuable and note-worthy artifact.
By the way, I own a "vintage" and pristine Trabant (really!)... May I store it in your garage for an undetermined amount of time rent free? You don't really need that space, right?
So, Google bought a building and gosh wanted something that didn't come with the purchase removed from the building? HORRORS! Just more evidence of megalomania by the Google twins Larry and Sergey... Same, shame, shame...
used commercial, nonattributable spyware thatâ(TM)s proprietary to a government agency
There are just so many things that are hokey about this story.
The spyware included programs that Attkisson says monitored her every keystroke and gave the snoops access to all her e-mails and the passwords to her financial accounts.
Happens all the time to people that open random emails and follow unknown linkys.
Attkisson says her source â" identified only as âoeNumber One"...
Good grief. In other news, let's talk about "chemtrails"!
Nor do I, but the mere existence of spyware on someone's computer even a "journalist" is not evidence of Three Letter Agency spying. I'm *not* saying it didn't happen, but both stories referenced in the write-up sound very paranoid without a lot of (any?) hard evidence of government involvement.
I will not believe these claims until he has written a lengthy blog post on how this feat relates to Burning Man ice queues and distributed social networks.
Haselton earned a master's degree in mathematics from Vanderbilt University, and created and operates a significant First Amendment website. I'm sure you have similar credentials? Why don't you tell us about it?
My consulting business had served numerous clients, not just Microsoft and Oracle. There were dozens of investment banks and funds who paid me to answer questions or participate in conference calls.
This is really some of the greatest space engeneering being done. Blue Turd or whatever Amazon's playboy is calling it is a non-show vanity project are none players, but Space X and Lockheed Martin / boeing have it going on.
I think this is terrific technology that has a great potential to help old people both now and in the future when you and I will be old.
It all seems a bit "hoaky" now, kind of on the interesting side of lame, but remember, this is how ideas start out: A basic idea that has to be developed.
I'm 50 now, which makes me a decrepit old man by Slashdot standards, but I expect to have a "helper robot" when I retire in 15 years.

it taught th brother a very, very valuable lesson he'll never forget.
To never admit to wrongdoing?
I think it's close enough -- two large tech projects with the same name.
Learn about trademarks. That's not close enough by miles.
Or groupon saw an opportunity to (cheaply) get some publicity...
Groupon thought they could ride on GNOME's huge popular consumer brand? Really?
Actually, it was a good win by GNOME.
No, it was not.
Trademarks have a relationship with the product. Groupon's product had no relationship to GNOME's product.

What a bunch of non-issues, non-news, DRAMA ...

Beliefes like these: http://www.vegetus.org/honey/h...
Seriously, "enslaving the bee"? Do you morons understand anything about the life-cycle of honey bees why they are here and how they survive?
Good grief, you guys are complete crack-pots.
You're lending credence to the theory that veganism is a religion.
Bingo.
I don't live in California.

The bigger question is, Who uses Facebook to read the news?

It will be bigger than Bing! At last a search engine that can take on Google.

WHOOOOOOOOSH!
Coleman stoves use white gas (or unleaded works fine), and gas is quite explosive under certain conditions.
My consulting business had served numerous clients, not just Microsoft and Oracle. There were dozens of investment banks and funds who paid me to answer questions or participate in conference calls.
Which only damns you more.

Yes, that's the way space travel is done...

Love how they take something simple and make it complex, failure prone and expensive all in one fell swoop! Blah.
That's fine, when you get old, just make due with your aluminum walker thing, and a cane. If you choose to be a Luddite, why should I stop you.
