Although my language was harsh, I didn't intend for my comment to be bashing of the Boston police department. I was just trying to point out to rodrigoandrade that this package could very easily be mistaken for a bomb or other suspicious device, because it has happened before.

How do you figure. Royksopp is Norwegian. Unless you had a specific song in mind.

The Boston PD thought a bunch of LED signs for the Aqua Teen's movie were bombs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare. They had batteries, a PCB, and wires. Even the most well trained employees can be complete morons at times.

My critical reading skills must suck. This is the first I noticed that the "News for Nerds" byline is gone. Damn, now countless comments about why an article is on Slashdot will no longer be needed. Which means we'll probably see an increase in the number of "this is old news" comments to make up for it.

I'm inclined to agree with your rant about using the comment for half the reply, but at least the dude you replied to had a complete sentence in the subject. Splitting a sentence between the subject and the beginning of the comment is the worst.

Way to fail. Mechanical != physical

I love seeing articles that scream about their bias in the headline.

"Intel Has No Process Advantage In Mobile, says ARM CEO"

How is navigation safety related? Unless they have a no judgement night mode to avoid the bad places.

Much like you, I want the tech in a car to focus on the aspects of keeping the occupants safe, and to be about driving the car.

It sounds like you may just want high powered lasers to hit the cameras. Perhaps just try shooting them as you go by with firearms, preferably while going at least 100 mph.

WTF? It's a loss of down penalty too?

If they had happy endings that might effect the birthrate.

No, it's not equal. It also isn't equal that the woman has to carry the child for 9 months, give birth to it, and then breastfeed the child (unless fomula is used). I don't see this as gender discrimination. I think it is more along the lines of the woman having gone through a much bigger ordeal.

Sure I'd be much happier getting those extra weeks off, but I'd rather work those weeks than go through the physical process of carrying and delivering a baby.

I see you've confused popular literature with proof and valid references.

What web are you looking at? This is the way to change the style of elements in HTML.

Yes, blocks of code such as the body of a function go in curly braces in JavaScript. There are also curly braces in PHP, so I'm not set on the idea that curly braces are the One True Distinction.
