He said that when he saw the street lined with police cars, he decided to take a picture of the scene. 'I opened (the phone) and took a shot,' Cruz said. Moments later, Cruz said he got the shock of his life when an officer came to his back yard gate.

Welcome to America. Remember to leave your civil liberties at the door, thanks.
Sadly, for me, in corporate USA, I'd have to pay for the privledge to stock the shelves.
Right. In my day, I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid for breakfast, work twenty-nine hours a day down at the mill, pay the mill owner 2 quid an hour for the permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
And you try and tell the young people of today that..... they won't believe you.
The law of unintended consequences is taking a chomp out of grocery chain profits as more stores transition from human clerks to self-service checkout technology
They're also taking a chomp out of grocery chain profits since I refuse to shop at a store that forces me to do their work for them. What's next, stores that make you stock their shelves?
The Herald Sun is reporting that researchers may have some progress to report on the Alzheimer's front. A new drug, called PBT2, was developed by a Melbourne-based biotech firm that has been showing some promising results.
Fantastic. Now they just have to remember to take it.
Past this event horizon, following the creation of strong artificial intelligence or the amplification of human intelligence, existing models of the future cease to give reliable or accurate answers.
Are you trying to tell me the Jetsons wasn't an accurate prediction?
Yale researchers claim to have found the very first neurons in what eventually becomes the human brain.
The human brain isn't made out of neurons. It is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
The LA Times predicts that the 2008 election will feature the rise of Podcasting Politicians, as strategists from both parties try to ride the latest trends to secure a victory in 2008.
And as we've all seen, the latest trend in internets technology is tubes. That's right, not a big truck, but tubes.
The attack leveraged the Windows Metafile (WMF) exploit to install programs in the PurityScan/ClickSpring family of adware, which bombards the user with pop-up ads and tracks their Web usage.
Enterprise search is our business, it's our house and Google is not going to take that business
Google dominates over MSN in consumer search. Does this guy honestly think they won't dominate Microsoft in Enterprise search? Why not back up his statement with a good reason why Google won't take MS to the woodshed on this one?
how and why physicists from UCSD are using lasers to send light pulses in direction of an array of reflectors installed on our moon in 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
How did Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin install reflectors on the moon from a soundstage in Burbank?
So the guy says tubes when he really means pipes. Given that his generation didn't even have an internet, at least he got somewhere in the ballpark.
Except that this isn't your clueless uncle we're talking about. We're talking about someone who will be deciding the future of something he doesn't understand. Understanding basic concepts like this is this man's entire job.
So, yes, it is a problem. The man's not doing his job, and we're all going to suffer for it.
The article goes on to describe seven bills under consideration that either attach fines to the sales of Mature titles to children, or study "the effect of electronic media on youths." Five of them are sponsored by Democrats.
I love how our political system works. You can either vote for the party that pisses all over the middle of the bill of rights... or you vote for the party that pisses all over the top of the bill of rights.
This is what always gets me about those Hollywood disaster movies. The BBC calls this The Day the Earth Nearly Died. And yet, as we can see, it didn't. Somehow, The Day After Tomorrow seems kind of pathetic in comparison.
you should look at how other people, not under the influences you cite, experience God and religion. if you do see how it enriches, sustains, and gives hope, you're just stereotyping, which is merely intellectual laziness.
True intellectual laziness is confusing "religion" with "spirituality". (or is that intellectual dishonesty?)
Disclaimer: I've never worked with LiveMotion before though. I just find the idea that Adobe can improve flash editor just because they're adobe to be offenive. I think its more likely they'll kill it one way or another.
WTF are you talking about? The incorporation of Illustrator-style vector drawing tools in the next version of flash is light-speed ahead of what Macromedia was able to cobble together in their many years of trying create a workable art space. Honestly, the Adobe buyout of Macromedia is nothing but a good thing(tm) for content creators.

The buyer gives a little lesson on why you should always clean your hard drive before you sell a computer.
And if you read the full story, you'll see that the seller gives a little lesson on how the law views vigilantism on the internets. Hint: Police are involved.
DART's main sensor mistakenly believed it was flying away from the satellite when it was actually moving 5 feet per second toward it, investigators found.

My guess would be that the tubes are clogged.

In fact, Anna Konda is a robotic fire hose moving like a snake.
Is there any chance that these will be available, on say, planes?

Al Gore would be turning in his grave if he wasn't a robotic zombie incapable of death, charged to guard the internet for all time.
You don't need to charge him. He's solar powered.

Damn. Combine this with Brazil's uranium export programme, and you've got yourself the ultimate political hot potato.
what's with all the speculation? With their domestic spying program, wouldn't the NSA know whether the PCs were "phoning home"?
the US Government has realized China could bug Lenovo PCs destined for US Government customers
In other words, the government says "damn, why didn't we think of that first?"
Well, considering that it's ars technica, I'd wonder what percentage of this "review" they plagiarized from other sources.

Yeah, but did it find Sarah Connor?
