A friend of mine bitched when they put in a permanent camera near our home. I said "It doesn't bother me because I don't speed." He replied by looking at me grumpily.

Speed traps are cash cows to an extent but they also work. Put cameras in the black spots, let a few people get fined for breaking the law and then the word gets around and then it's no longer a black spot because people are following the rules. Amazing!

No, I'm not to clueless as to suggest that every law enforcement agent and agency are lily white but slowing down DOES reduce the quantity and quality of road accidents. Until all drivers are lily white, I'm fully in support of efforts to reduce incidents on the road.

Drugs are indeed big business. The only way to fight them is to legalise all drugs. Make them legal, registered, accountable, clean and let big pharma run the production side. Those big businesses will run the cartels to bankruptcy within a few short years.

No more Brewer's Droop!

A few slashes from a box cutter on the label side and the reflective surface strips off, taking much of the organic dye with it and butchering the substrate. Only the most dedicated would be able to get meaningful data from that disc.

I pity her future boyfriends :)

I see what you're saying but looking at the number of lights there, I think it's more than one LED per machine.

How much less power would they consume if they didn't plug in the silly blue lights on all the servers? Per machine it can't be too much but across a data centre that size, it must add up to several hundred watts. It's not like they need to whip out an epeen at a LAN day.

I think all presidents would like to be more radical. The problem is the more change you promote, the more opposition you have. Obama is promoting great change in some areas e.g. state supported health care and all the anti-radicals have come out screaming in opposition.

I'd love to get into politics and make some real change for the better. The problem is all the lunatics and vested interests that don't agree with my version of better. Inevitably what I managed to get put through would be a watered down and rather mediocre version of what is actually needed.

Yup, old news. Seen those exact photos sufficiently long ago as to be an old memory.

That or we're having a glitch in the matrix.

...Stormdriver will allow you to see the web as recommended by other users. It will be much easier to avoid the really bad sites and content...

Isn't that what DIGG is all about? Ranking websites by popularity and just visiting those that other people think are cool?

I doubt you'd be singing the same tune if it was 4.2g of Plutonium 239. The unexplained appearance in a restricted area of any illegal substance is a cause for concern.

Not Real Life's "Catch Me I'm Falling"?

Don't you people have better things to do with your time than whine about a not-news item being posted on /.? Yeah, it probably should've been tagged as idle instead of games but big deal. If the quality of news is that important to you, try getting out there and making some news that'll make the grade.

There is a complete hole!
