What was the local barometric pressure doing over the course of that same time period? Pressure inside a football is relative - to the pressure of the air outside the football.

If you combine temperature's effect on air pressure, a local increase in barometric pressure, and possibly some effect of the temp/humidity change from locker room to field, who knows what the range of change is. Experiments will certainly be the best way to figure that out.

Example that might make more sense:

You download a program that appears legit (and may be mostly legit, or be a hacked version of a legit program), and are running it.

The program senses inactivity, opens a contextual menu on the screen to prevent the REAL screensaver from kicking in, and opens it's own fake screensaver instead.

When you get back to the computer, it prompts you to input your credentials.

Voila... it now has your credentials, and can wreak utter havoc and destruction (depending on your permissions).

For April fools jokes, isn't it?

Zigactly. :)

"creates an auditable trail linking a person and their vote"

Being able to verify how someone voted defeats the whole point. You need ANONYMOUS, but verifiable voting, if that's at all possible. Otherwise, you get into the whole issue of vote buying, intimidation, public shaming, etc.

Christianity is not much better, if you actually read the bible. Thankfully most churches ignore the parts of the bible that promote exactly the same actions that we criticize "radical Muslims" for... but then again, most Muslims also ignore those parts of the Koran. The difference is that there seem to be fewer "radical Christians" that interpret the bible literally, otherwise we'd be getting it from both sides.

However, if there were more radical Christians, maybe people would realize that Islam isn't the issue... it's religion as a whole that's the problem.

Check out Deuteronomy 20 some day, before you reply.

The things they're complaining about are certainly restrictions on freedom... but they directly address security concerns and protect the user at the same time. It's a walled garden - good and bad. Why can't they simply write a web app for this instead, and stop their complaining?

There's a reason that Apple's devices are smooth, reliable, and stable... and you just can't have that when you live in the Wild West of completely open software. Yes, it means putting some trust in a company to get there, but I don't see that as any worse than the alternatives.

So EFF - I have made large donations to you in the past, but pick your battles and stop wasting my time and money on the bad fights.

He serializes the data and sends it over a single redstone line... just like you would do in a real computer.

Um... no you didn't. :)

And pedantic is not funny.

You can passively block it, yes. There's nothing preventing you from building a Faraday cage around your home. You cannot ACTIVELY block it though (i.e. broadcast signals to intentionally interfere with it).

Ironic... yours was the last comment on this post just now, and the silly quote below the Slashdot logo at the bottom says "Are you having fun yet?"

Crap. Ok, what's your address? And is that $100 Canadian, or $100 Canadian Tire?

If I order a drone through Amazon, will it deliver itself?

I agree 100% - even today, recordings from cop cars only see to be available when it's in the police's interest, and are destroyed or not working otherwise.

The best solution I heard was in the book Lockstep - where police were actually remote controlled robots. One robot was always controlled by an independent 3rd party operator, a civilian. That would ensure accountability and fairness.
