History... Rinse cycle repeat.

Myself and about 4 other friends of mine in high-school did the same thing with HCL and aluminum with 2 liter bottles. We also used c02 dry ice an other fun things. Not to mention we distilled hydrogen with batteries and other methods to fill balloons and create big mushroom clouds, by which we lit by using alcohol poured on concrete in front of our house. Our parents sometimes watched us other times Not. Our neighbor was a fire marshal and sometimes watched for fun. We would video tape these experiments and our AP chem teacher would play them for our class. It was celebrated. Potassium was my fav. Now 2 of above friends are chemists. One of them teaching. Another a computer science grad that works for amazon and I'm a sys admin doing network defense. Good thing our school supported us. When we did dumb stuff they called our parents. None of us have criminal records.

I'm not really an apple fanboy. Do I own appple products? Yes... I do... I also own sony, LG, and a myriad of other companies produdts as well. Do I use operating systems other than Lion and iOS? Yes, I use Solaris (Unix), Win 7, and various flavors of Linux. I'm a system admin by trade. The point is... look at the pictures of the two phones. It's a blatent rip off, and one of the reasons why they're in huge patent wars with each other. Aside from the obvious toned article... it's hard to deny the key point. Sumsung in this case did not use it's own innovation. They straight xeroxed. Yes, I also know the main reason behind the patent wars are part of the main battle to own "the stack". If you don't know what I'm refering to by "the stack" you should probably not be a slashdot reader and go watch Fox News instead.

as some one with asthma, the new inhalers suck sorry... there is a big differance. and to the person that mentioned "primatine mist". The only time I ever use primatine is if for some reason I'm in a pinch and the only way to get releaf is to go to a wallgreens which sells primatine... primatine sucks even more... While I'm a big fan of eliminating sources of CFC's... when it comes to a health issue like this there needs to be a viable replacement first.

Very little UAV surveying is done on U.S. soil as it's against FAA regulations to have Drones in most of our airspace due to aviodance regulations. That doesn't mean that border patrols don't use them however... or there aren't any Active ROZ areas for training purposes, but for what your stating ( like watching vehicles and traffic enforcement) it's just not currently being done becauses of the regulations. That being said... I think it would save the tax payer a lot of money if some of these regulations were deconflicted so lets say... something like a scaneagle could linger over a stretch of highway like I-5 for half a day as opposed to other traffic enforcement which costs more and is less effective. We've learned many lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan on highway patrolling with UAV's and I think we should apply them to home.

If your chief concern as you posted is smart phone portability for phone connectivity... the current smart phones DO fit in your pocket. I'm pretty sure my iphone 4 fits in all styles of my pockets on all my pants. Smart phones aren't the bulky crackberries of last decade... you should check out your local phone store. If you currently have an ipod touch you should already know this... as an ipod touch is basically the same size as an iphone save for a little depth... and it should fit in your pocket.

As a security professional myself: The fact that EA/Bioware were running a 10 year old server, means that they don't take Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, of their systems seriously and handled their security rather negligently.

Western Washington University and University of Washington are TWO different Universities! This post speaks as if they are 1 and can lead to some serious confusion and mismanagement of the information.
