I agree, although red pandas do have bush tails they also have distinct rings on it and markings on their faces which are not shown on this logo which is obviously a fox.
most people have already decided on the PS4, and will be leary of signing up since you're just a firmware update away from returning to putting 'em over a barrel
I'm sure Timothy is glad you're still thinking of him but he's probably worried that that word doesn't mean what you think it means...
Sorry, I RTFM and it said to never RTFA on Slashdot.
Of course if you RTFS it does mention the IR capabilities but the summary title and most of the comments here are all about the fact that "UK Police Now Double As CCTV Cameras" which is not news.
If you have the USA in the middle of the map then surely Europe is in the East and Asia/China is in the West!?! That would be confusing if you were bought up with the usual "Western Civilisation" ideas.
I always assumed that the UK was in the middle because of GMT but then I'm very Eurocentric myself. So, is Europe in the West or the East then?
Agreed, even just an encrypted home folder will thwart your average laptop thief. If you wear a double thickness tinfoil hat and you're expecting a more determined, technically minded thief then by all means have whole disk encryption.
Amen to that... However, moving to/living in a tourist resort (whether it be a beach town or a ski town), is different from travelling. Every time you move to a new place it will take a while to find a good place to work from, maybe just a few hours, maybe a day, but if you're moving every couple of days it can be quite a hassle to be online every day.
Moreover, in the case of volumetric measures, not only do you have a real problem, but an easier solution: most of the containers that hold liquids are disposable anyways, and constantly manufactured (i.e. food). All that would need to be done is to make containers that are metric-sized, and printed with metric labels, rather than Imperial.
FWIW, this became a legal requirement in the UK 20+(?) years ago when we joined the EU and we have just about assimilated metric measures of volume and weight when it comes to consumables.
Also noteworthy, the building industry also works in metric these days, although there are many builders who still think in ft/in a lot of the materials are sold in metric sizes, i.e the width of a standard sheet of plaster board (sheet rock) dictates how you space your studs.
However, street signs are still in MPH and most people still measure their body weight in Stones and their height in Feet and Inches.
It takes a while but the ability to trade with neighbouring countries makes it worth it...
They'll probably outsource it all to the UK like the rest of ECHELON. I mean Google doesn't pay f#ck all tax here so why should the the rest of the USA
Cricket 'strikes' is a terrible analogy to use in this case. Cricket differs from Baseball in that you can face many, many balls before you are out.
You are only out if one of these things happens:
1. The bowler ('pitcher' in BB) hits the stumps behind the batsman, this is called being 'bowled out'
2. The ball is caught directly from the batsman's strike ('caught out')
3. The fielders manage to hit the stumps with the ball before the batsman has finished his run ('run out')
4. The batsman blocks a ball that would have hit the stumps with his body instead of his bat (this is called LBW, Leg Before Wicket)
These are the most common ways to be out, there are other ways to be out, but to get back on topic: to compare the six strikes system to Cricket would seem to suggest that you are not 'out' until they have proved your guilt.
I submitted the story after seeing it on the BBC and was surprised to see it wasn't already listed here.
Approx. 2 hours after submitting the story it was accepted.
I guess the lesson here is don't crowd-source if expediency is of the essence. In this case I can't see a few hours making a difference, it's not exactly a 'developing story'.
Not because what you're saying is necessarily untrue but because I want more details, such as what sort of weight gain do each of these effects cause? I mean if we're talking about a study where they managed to measure an average of 0.5% increase in weight gain over 2000 people than it doesn't really explain how people are getting to 500lbs.

Finally, my 'What's my bra size' app can work!

The police have had body mounted cameras in the UK for 5 years.
The only news here is that they've started using them in Melton (a medium size town in the Midlands) and presumably the tech has improved.

What temperature does water boil at in Fahrenheit?

Yes, this. Although I'd disagree that Celsius has *one* minor convenience point:
0C == frozen roads and preserved food
100C == boiling water and sterile food

Really? That's so racist towards the Irish.
If only there was a +6 insightful...
Sounds like the cloud version or RAID 0, great if you just need performance and don't expect any reliability...
Same here luckily. Where I'm from it's also highly unlikely the assailant will have a gun.

I agree, and furthermore it bugs me that this is one of the few places where rape jokes are still apparently socially acceptable.
I don't think he was joking.

Assuming they are found guilty they should be hit with massive fines AND jail sentences.
If Aaron Swarts can be threatened with 30 years and massive fines for essentially a victimless crime...
Can you do an 'obligatory UserFriendly' around here or is it just for XKCD?
That's fair enough, I can't argue with that, the only reason I mentioned it was because I noticed so many examples in one day...
I probably didn't help my cause by triple posting either!
