Comment Re:"because it originated from the wireless networ (Score 3, Interesting) 547

They didn't know it originated from the wireless network. They knew it came from Tor. I could have sent it, for all they know. What they did know was the time it arrived. They played a hunch that it came locally (someone who planted/discovered the bomb on campus) and checked to see who had used Tor on their network at around that time, it's plain old fashioned detective work.

Put the suspect in a room with an interrogator and extract a confession ("We have you on the Tor network the exact same time the email for the bomb hoax came through", "You were the only person using it at the time (whether that is true or not) so we know you did it", "This will go a lot easier on you if you confess now"). Will the confession stand? Did they read Miranda rights? Was he offered legal council?

There a link in this webpage (I didn't link it directly as there's also some interesting information on the first page too) saying that while they are not working together on a VR headset, they aren't enemies either, and Palmer doesn't mind if there is competition as he understands that it would be better for VR in general in the long run, to breed innovation.

Comment Re:Controlled for MOM's folate? (Score 1) 130

My wife and I may eat a similar standard of food, but by no means would we have the same meals. Working in different places, we eat different lunches. She likes mushrooms while I do not. If we eat out we don't order the same dishes.

She also does not eat the same quantities of food as I do, so there may be a greater risk that she misses out on certain vitamin thresholds. That said, I'm not a big eater of salad, while she loves green leafy dishes.

No, you can by no means assume that mom and dad have the same diet.
