Submission + - N.Y. Passes DNA Requirement For Almost All Convicted Criminals (npr.org) 1

greatgreygreengreasy writes: 'Lawmakers in New York (State, USA) approved a bill that will make the state the first to require DNA samples from almost all convicted criminals.... it would expand the state's database to include DNA from people convicted of almost any crime, even misdemeanors as minor as jumping over a subway turnstile.' Gattaca seems closer than we may have thought.

Comment FTTH in progress here (Score 1) 208

All the local phone companies where I live (Northern ND) have some sort of FTTH plan. I work for a contractor doing the work in people's homes after the fiber is buried, and the larger 'cities' (50 to 3000 people) all have fiber, now we're working on the tiny towns, then the farms, etc. Whatever stimulus money they're getting to do all this sure is working. I hope it works for you all in the future too (especially the gentleman in TN.)

Comment DVI Cables (Score 1) 356

Where I work, we have boxes and boxes of left over DVI cables. All our monitors came with them, yet we use maybe 1 out of 100. I'm sure there are plenty of other places like us, willing to unload them cheap, if you look around. And these are not used, still sealed in the OEM packaging.
