Geiger: No, wait a second! Don't touch it.
Rico: Why not?
Geiger: Well, that's a Lawgiver. That's programed to only recognise a Judge's hand. You touch that, it'll take your arm off!
[Rico grabs the gun and points it in Geiger's face. The gun has accepted his grip]
Rico: Gee, how do you like that? I must be a Judge.
[he shoots Geiger]

Surely I can't be the first to notice this? HarperCollins couldn't have paid for publicity like this ...

We would never lie to you. Your tax burden is decreasing in real terms. You like our candidate. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

We already got that implemented. It peaks on days when we order curry ...

Huge mud-slinging war about the license chosen and no one pointing out the thing is borked.

... in the last sentence of the summary. I think the word you're looking for is "Naturally."

I've typically found the CDs/DVDs to be full of trialware -- usually older versions than what's available from the usual download sources. And the editorial content is quite amateurish.

This is for hobbyist magazines (PCs, cars, etc.). Can't vouch for whatever might pass for the equivalent of Atlantic Monthly, etc.

They've literally got students (and to a smaller sense, professors) by the balls.

Wow. Things sure have spiced up a bit since I was in college. Most of the peeps who had me by the balls had at most one or two other students by the balls, and never at the same time.

This. It's only a matter of time.

Not a word.

Self-selected from among the visitors to the Divorce-Online site?

Without some info about methodology, there's no reason to treat this report as anything but self-promotion.

Oh, that's not what you meant?

Er ... this is for DARPA.

There's a quote from an administrator saying the previous attendance system wasn't working well. No details. No way to figure out what problem this is supposed to solve, and how.

It's easy enough to take attendance in homeroom. Teacher signs in to his computer and the homeroom list is there. Kids are present by default so Teach doesn't spend more than a moment checking off the kids who aren't there, and then submits the form. Done.

Office staff run a report five minutes after the start of homeroom. If any teacher hasn't taken attendance then she gets a reminder. Office staff have been getting calls from parents for half an hour before homeroom started, so as soon as they have the report they're ready to see which kids were marked absent by the teachers (must call parents to verify) vs marked absent by office staff (parent has already contacted the school).

No fingerprints. Human-based facial recognition technology is probably quite a bit more accurate, doesn't spread germs in most cases and rarely raises questions of citizen rights.

Apart from the total lack of detail in the news story, the reporter managed to spell "buses" right and then blew on "isles".
