It was also mentioned on NPR that one of the patients with the drug-immune TB in India actually checked themselves out of the hospital and they can't find them.

Here's to you our new "Patient Zero"

They actually discussed this on NPR earlier. When applying to enter the country, he told them about his military history and asked if it would be ok. Telling Iran that you were formerly in the US army is not the kind of thing you would do if you were an actual spy.

Not to say entering Iran and telling them you used to be in the military is a good idea.

"Google denies that its employees deleted documents or that it instructed them to work from home in order to impede the investigation."

Only evil corporations have their employees work from home...

And everyone knows the damning evidence wasn't there because they deleted it.

Small scale tests first before we build the full-size model.

I would second this, but for the reason that I believe he is one of the few politicians that actually seem to follow what's going on in the world of computers and software

...when you can add a stick / camera for more money?

Personally, if I want to play tennis or go bowling, I go out and play tennis or go bowling

I think summary need to be clarified.

The FCC is beginning a test Monday that will give public access to a database to be used to identify frequency bands available. This database will be used to determine what frequencies are available when the 'white spaces' go public.

It was most obvious at the end of the BBC article when she mentions how she could cause/cease the pain by turning the TV on and off....

It doesn't take a genius to realize the TV doesn't *broadcast* EM waves...except for light. And if you're allergic to light...you have bigger things to worry about than cell phones.

Sounds like episode 23 of Cowboy Bebop "Brain Scratch"
