And sometimes when things are going to get 'rough' they turn off the cameras or put other squad cars in the camera field of vision to defeat the recording.
Yep. Remember when that guy in New Orleans got beat up by cops and an AP videographer caught it on tape? Some cop on a horse kept moving between the cameraman and the victim so he couldn't be seen getting his ass kicked by police. The guy on the horse should have lost his job just for that.
I'm suspicious about this truthfulness of this article. We have what looks like a homebrew news web site. No sources or references are provided so that one can verify the claims, except for a questionable PDF file hosted on a personal web site. How about some more facts that we can independently verify?
The Duality of Slashdot never ceases to amuse me. People who help others get copyrighted material without paying for it and then get busted are worshiped as martyrs. But if someone dares violate the GPL, those same Slashdotters rise up and demand the heads of everyone involved on a silver platter.
In case you haven't figured it out Slashdot is just a huge link farm to stories on the net. There are tens of thousands of active users here all with their differing opinions. Many of the users disagree on various matters, including copyright.
It amazes me that more of you don't run for public office...you've got the "talking out of both sides of mouth" and "double standards" parts well covered.
You'd have a point if you could narrow that down to individual users that say one thing about one subject and then change their minds on the GPL. But from looking at your post you haven't done that. You can't characterize all of Slashdot as a singular entity.
That wikipedia article doesn't cite any sources. How about linking to something verifiable or adding verifiable sources to the wikipedia article? Until you can present your facts better people will continue to believe the "myth".
Yeovil is to become the first town in Britain to install "biometric" fingerprint scanners in pubs and clubs that will instantly identify potential troublemakers.
Thinking about how easy these scanners are to fool, someone should create a fingerprint patch and supply a copy to everyone in town. It'll look like one guy goes drinking way too much. It'd be even better if the finger print was of some semi-important or visible offical who's in favor of this legislation. I'm thinking about how the Mythbusters people lifted a fingerprint from a can and used that to create a fake fingerprint to fool a scanner.
Seems lots of people across the pond love to quote 1984 and make references to Big Brother about nearly every single political story about the United States.
Pot. Kettle. #000000
Are you kidding me? A guy from their country wrote 1984 over 50 years ago. They have cameras on nearly every street corner. If anything I think they are qualified to "make references to Big Brother".
Are there any other cheap yet effective cooling solutions for a small business where the budget is extremely limited?
What's cheap to you? Obviously you want something that's going to be less expensive than replacing a dead server or replacing your data.
If you are in an ex-residential space then there is most likely a garage or utility room/closet that you can use for things such as your network switch, telephone, PBX, servers, etc. Why not put your server there and install a small air conditioner.
I have a friend who runs a small business out of his home. He uses a spare bedroom as an office and made the bedroom closet his server room. He installed a split-unit air conditioner to keep the closet cool.
Pardon me, but you do realize that you are replying to someone who was a board member for ICANN, don't you? I think he has far more insight into the working policies and procedures of ICANN than some anonymous guy who wanted to put stickers on a server.
Yes, for all 13,000+ packages. If you have a decent network connection you can do a network install with the first CD. The installer sets up a small base system and then can install anything else via FTP, HTTP, or another method.
It seems that folding@home is not directly working on producing a cure and they are focusing on understanding "how" something happens.
Understanding how something does or doesn't work is the first step to fixing things. Maybe what is learned by Folding@Home can be applied to solve problems in other areas like cancer.
One tidbit of information that most people are not likely aware of is that when you install the Skype client, it will drain system resources by running as a supernode from time to time.
Cry me a river. Shut down Skype when you aren't using it if you don't want to share your bandwidth. The system works because of tradeoffs and people acting as supernodes.
I'm all for greatly increasing NASA's funding, but getting rid of the Pentagon will do more harm to NASA than good.
No one said anything about getting rid of the Pentagon. Get a grip. The parent poster was explaining to the GP poster that the amount of money spent on NASA is tiny compared to other things. He was just putting stuff in perspective.

Here's the guy that got beaten up. Here's the video footage from the BBC web site.

In light of The SHADOW's comment I retract my earlier statement about you making up the statements about the CAPTCHA.
Thanks. I didn't know that. Too bad that /. won't let a user edit or delete a posting like other forums.
Apologize for what?

What legal defense? He hasn't even been indicted. He might go home tomorrow for all we know.
How about we retire this old joke. It's fairly worn out at this point.
