Heh. Reminds me of a story from the sixties about General Motors. A customer called GM to complain about his car.
The phone operator asked what was wrong and the guy said a mirror was defective.
"Which mirror?" she asked.
"The side mirror" he replied.
"Which side?"
"The passenger side."
"I'll connect you to the Vice President for Passenger Side Mirrors."
Dunno if it's true or not. My grandfather worked in the US auto industry for 30 years and had lots of interesting stories to tell...

PatPending writes: Summary: Adobe just released a critical Flash Player security update. Good news: it includes a new automatic updater for Windows. Bad news: Adobe’s download page pushes a misleading “system optimizer” designed to scare users into paying for unneeded repairs.
A video of the entire process (approximately 10 minutes) is here.
This year alone, three Flash Player security updates have been issued by Adobe: one on February 15, one on March 5, and one on March 28.

Oh, for goodness sake, RTFA:
Under the "border search exception" of United States criminal law, international travelers can be searched without a warrant as they enter the U.S. Under the Barack Obama administration, law enforcement agents have aggressively used this power to search travelers' laptops, sometimes copying the hard drive before returning the computer to its owner. Courts have ruled that such laptop searches can take place even in the absence of any reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.

If you want to read something intelligent about "memory storage theory", here's a better article--from Brown University, November 14, 2006.
Pull-quote:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Daily events are minted into memories in the hippocampus, one of the oldest parts of the brain. For long-term storage, scientists believe that memories move to the neocortex, or "new bark," the gray matter covering the hippocampus. This transfer process occurs during sleep, especially during deep, dreamless sleep.

PatPending writes: Oh, no: please disregard my prior submission due to this UPDATE: "Update: Shortly after this article was published we learned that the order in question has been vacated.
It turns out that the order was drafted by a defense attorney and Judge Schumacher apparently signed it by mistake, assuming all parties agreed on it. This is bad news for the defendants and means that the mass-BitTorrent lawsuits in Florida state courts are very much alive for now."
