Sorry that you don't understand how science works. If your brain is capable of it, you should examine how that lack of understanding of how science works has allowed you to believe in magical beings.

I suspect part of the reason why women, Latino-Americans and African-Americans aren't well represented in the science classrooms is because of an over subscription by women, Latino-Americans, and African-Americans to sociology majors like women's studies, Chicano/Latin-American Studies and African-American studies. While these are completely legitimate courses of study, I suspect they are leading women, Latino-Americans and Afirican-Americans away from the more employment friendly science majors.
You'd think they'd actually save money if they just hard wired the LED into the camera's power source. If the camera has power, the LED is on. I'm sure that would cost them less, not more.
Might I recommend the book "Stasiland" about the East German secret police, spying on it's own citizens, which due to their spying were able to prevent any politician from countering them because of the black mail material they had on every person (including the politicians and their families.)
BTW, if you get a chance, the opinion and the dissenting opinion are worth reading. It is amazing how incompetent our Supreme Court is in interpreting something as basic and straight forward as the 4th and 5th Amendments.
[IANAL:] Unfortunately you're wrong about this. In Caballes v. Illinois the Supreme Court found that a dog can be run around any vehicle during a traffic stop. If the dog signals, the officer then has probably cause to search a vehicle. The only limitation on this is that if the dog is not on the scene at the time of the stop, that the stop cannot be prolonged to wait for the dog to arrive. They can only hold you for as long as it would reasonably take to conduct the business of a traffic stop.

As a former Cisco employee (quit for a better job, although Cisco was a company I liked working for) I'll tell you that Cisco has a bottom 5% policy that every year the bottom 5% are let go.
But... it never seems to be enforced. So year over year there are more and more bottom 5%ers accumulate, and then Cisco has a layoff like this...
Isn't their range only like 100 miles? He'd have to plug in, and I can only imagine that would draw even more attention.
Japan can pre-warn about earthquakes by as much as 30 seconds to a couple minutes. Enough time to seek shelter. Unlike our system, I believe their system is automated and goes off when their computers detect the impending quake.
Did you get this Amber Alert? On the iPhone the klaxon was something like the Star Trek red alert, or an air raid siren, or a hybrid of the two. It was VERY loud. I had no idea what the fuck it was. My phone was in another room, and I thought something in my home had caught fire, or the AC had failed and was delivering some sort of catastrophic failure sound that I didn't know it was capable of making.
It really was that bad.
I disagree. This message could have easily been implemented for Smartphones to include photos of the kids/kidnapper, and stock photos of a blue NIssan Versa. (Or at the least, include a link to a page with those things on it.)
The other problem with this of course is that the kidnapper ALSO got the Amber Alert and is now aware he needs to change vehicles. The second he does that the Amber Alert is useless, and if he thought to do it BEFORE the Amber Alert when out then it is doubly useless. With a photo of the suspect and children? He is going to have to stop for gas at some point, regardless of what vehicle he is in.
