State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor 574

from the let's-vote-on-this-instead dept.

Everyone knows how boring a debate on a controversial abortion bill can get on the Senate floor. So it's no wonder that Florida State Sen. Mike Bennett took the time to look at a little porn and a video of a dog running out of the water and shaking itself off. From the article: "Ironically, as Bennett is viewing the material, you can hear a Senator Dan Gelber's voice in the background debating a controversial abortion bill. 'I'm against this bill,' said Gelber, 'because it disrespects too many women in the state of Florida.' Bennett defended his actions, telling Sunshine State News it was an email sent to him by a woman 'who happens to be a former court administrator.'"

I work in the financial industry, and this issue caused significant disruption to trading floors throughout Wall Street. Traders are generally quite upset with McAfee right now, so it makes sense that their stock is dropping :)

This is just EA creating an Evony clone and trying to cash in on the Ultima franchise. Pathetic really.

True. A zero-day vulnerability is one that is found the same date the program is released. So unless these extensions are all brand new, these are not 0-day incidents.

Neil Stephenson's Anatham spends quite a bit of time examining exactly this question.

Highly recommended reading, reminiscent of Cryptonomicon rather than the Baroque Cycle.

FBI invited to look at Second Life casinos

Submitted by UnanimousCoward on Wednesday April 04 2007, @09:33AM

UnanimousCoward writes "Yahoo! is running an article reporting that Second Life has invited the FBI to tour their casinos, and that the FBI has indeed visited but will not comment. With the U.S. crackdown on Internet gambling, visits to Second Life casinos has increased (using Linden dollars that have been exchanged for "real" currency). From TFA:

Most lawyers agree that placing bets with Linden dollars likely violates U.S. anti-gambling statutes, which cover circumstances in which "something of value" is wagered. But the degree of Linden Lab's responsibility, and the likelihood of a any crackdown, is uncertain.

Logan Runs Again!

lucabrasi999 writes "It appears that the producer of The Matrix is prepared to remake Logan's Run. I just stayed up late one night recently to watch this movie (again) on cable. While some of it is cheesy, it is a pretty good movie. Oscar winner Peter Ustinov appeared in it, after all. Now, for the questions all of the men want answered:

Who plays Jessica Six?

Who plays Holly 13?"
