What good would that do if the boyfriend doesn't know this? No, you generally can't tell if the condom breaks unless it's a really wierd model.

Submission + - Sarah Palin backs North Korea (huffingtonpost.com)
zcomuto writes: Not quite. In a verbal faux pas, Sarah Palin recently decided that North Korea was an ally worth standing up next to. She doesn't seem to get the pair of the Korea's mixed up, it does seem to simply be a verbal mishap. She does, infact, condemn North Korea's recent behaviour and encourages China to act upon the situation, and treats the behaviour of the country like that of an indisciplined child: "We don't reward bad behaviour, and we don't walk away from it"
Submission + - E-voting machine votes 100% wrong (newbernsj.com)
steveha writes: The New Bern, NC Sun Journal newspaper reports that some local voters have seen the e-voting machine record the exact opposite of the voter's request. There is a button to vote a straight Republican ticket, and when pushed, it voted a straight Democrat ticket. A local voter observed this behavior four times in a row; the fifth time, the button worked correctly. If ATMs were this unreliable, no bank would use them. Why is this level of failure acceptable in voting machines?
Submission + - WikiLeaks founder 'free to leave Sweden'
An anonymous reader writes: AFP reports that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is free to leave Sweden, after prosecutors said there was no arrest warrant against him for an alleged case of rape. Assange said the charges against him were part of "a clear set-up," and that he had "two reliable intelligence sources that state that Swedish intelligence was approached last month by the United States and told that Sweden must not be a safe haven for WikiLeaks." The news comes just one day before the Swedish national election.

TheDarkener writes: Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today, and released a new preview Flash plugin named "Square". This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux, which I have verified works on my Debian Lenny LTSP server by simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins — with sound (which I was never able to figure out with running the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper and pulseaudio).

Well, and that map didn't include eastern Europe. Not a very good comparison.

Can this be used to gain root on Android devices with a locked bootloader? That would be neat. Imagine rooting your phone without having to flash it.

Submission + - UK gov't pressured Facebook to remove page (wikinews.org)
Thinboy00 writes: "The UK government pressured Facebook to remove a page; Facebook said no. The page contained what Prime Minister David Cameron described as "a whole host of anti-police statements", and as we all know, the UK government can't stand any opposition to the police. The page was a tribute to British killer Raoul Moat. Facebook responded "Facebook is a place where people can express their views and discuss things in an open way as they can and do in many other places, and as such we sometimes find people discussing topics others may find distasteful, however that is not a reason in itself to stop a debate from happening.""
