A taxi driver in the UK was spared false rape charges because he'd recorded the women scheming to get out of paying their fare, so there is value for drivers other than preventing robberies. The question though is who watches the watchers? IMO these CCTV systems should instead be cracked wide open so that the general public can view the feeds, not just have it limited to police. After all, they're in public spaces anyway so the people there have no expectation of privacy, so what compelling reason could there be to restrict access to the feeds? Also, include cameras in all the reasonable spaces of legislature and justice. What's good for the goose...

Agreed. She's 23 for fucks sake! Time for the little princess to stop mooching off daddy and get her ass a J-O-B. Notice that she wasn't too butthurt over the asswhooping to take his money and borrow his car, but once that stopped now he's the bad guy. Riiiight. The guy isn't winning any popularity contests with the beatdown, and yes I think it was excessive, but this whole thing smacks of sour grapes and entitlement mentality on the girl's part.

And by 5-10 years away they mean 25-50 years. They've been working on male birth control for 20 years and it's been stuck in the "5-10 years away" the entire time. I see no reason to believe this doesn't fall under the same kind of fantasy science that one day will certainly happen, but probably not nearly as soon as they hope for.

Fermilab has a similar setup which should be able to test the results. So does an experiment in Japan, T2K, but they aren't running at the moment because of the tsunami. The actual experiment shouldn't be too hard to do if you have the equipment to make a beam of neutrinos, just point them at a detector and fire away and see how long time of flight was, which means they could probably start working on it fairly soon, though it will probably take months or years to get enough data points to be statistically significant.

This actually replicates the results of another labs findings, which they had discounted as measurement errors. If anything, this might just prove the previous test's findings weren't a mistake as previously assumed.
