Weak References do this. You are correct, though, that this is not something built directly into the operating system.

Troll? It's a serious question. What the fuck IS this shit? And I am referring to the article.
What the fuck is next -- "Don't like contracts? Have you ink pen sign them! Simply coax your ink pen (through digital manipulation) into signing a facsimile of your name! Oh imagine the lawyers dismay!"
So seriously, what the fuck is this shit?

The Real Risks of Obama's BlackBerry 273
An anonymous reader writes "When the mainstream media first announced Barack Obama's 'victory' in keeping his BlackBerry, the focus was on the security of the device, and keeping the US president's e-mail communications private from spies and hackers. The news coverage and analysis by armchair security experts thus far has failed to focus on the real threat: attacks against President Obama's location privacy, and the potential physical security risks that come with someone knowing the president's real-time physical location. In this article, a CNET blogger digs into the real risks associated with the President carrying around a tracking device at all times."

Hey, where's the roadside test for vicodin? Prescription codeine or morphine? Dextromethorphan?
I am sure they would like to have one, but I think there are two factors to consider when asking why these drugs are allowed exist without it:
1. They're not legal unless prescribed by a physician. Which makes them controlled and, in theory, harder to get. So less pill heads driving compared with drunks.
2. They have a valid medicinal use which is weighed against the risks driving while on the substance.
Anyhow, it's a real issue and I think a reliable field test would go a long way towards helping the cause.

Should We Clone a Neanderthal? 990
SpaceAdmiral writes "Forget cloning a woolly mammoth — should scientists clone a Neanderthal? Such a feat should be possible soon, although it raises a number of bioethics concerns, including where to draw the line between humans and other animals."
