No I think he means that if some bit of intel is figured out that leads to the deaths of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Its City property. And yes, its their equipment to be an idiot with. While Childs was following the policy to the letter, he should have realized his boss was a power hungry idiot that wasn't about to let his minion make him look like an idiot, and just handed over the passwords, packed up his shit and said "See ya!"

Obviously the act of robbing a bank is not funny at all. The robber choosing to use a Darth Vader costume to conceal his identity is fucking hilarious.

I wonder if its similar to how all phone numbers start with 555.

Well not really signs of monopolistic behavior. Apple has a very dedicated following that is willing to fork over extra cash for their products as the consumer believes it to be a superior product. Apple is just going with the flow of supply and demand. Why drop your prices if people are willing to purchase at the higher?

OK, I know most of you actually haven't RTFA this being /. and all, but if you do you will see that Comcast is right. The FCC dulled its own teeth in 2005 when they deregulated broadband. Was that stupid then, ofcourse it was. But until the US government adopts rules to allow more competition, ie making the infrastructure an open network, Comcast and other large ISP won't let anyone else be an ISP on their infrastrucutre with out paying a huge amount of money to "lease" it. I think there was a good article in Newsweek about why the US's broadband access was the 12th slowest and most exspensive to use and it gave examples of what other country's, namely South Korea, had done to bring cost down for the consumer.

I thought the intial flights would be $200K US per seat...or somewhere there abouts. I can't remember where I saw that so I'm probably wrong.

Considering that these weapons use a radar based tracking system, your best bet is to use stealth technology so the laser can't lock on. Its hard to hit a moving object when you can't see it.

Since when did an Address Book/Calendaring application become required system components? These applications are nothing more than utilities to help you manage people you know and shit you need to remember to do. Nothing more.

I agree, but since their apps like iCal, Mail, notes...etc are all bundled with OSX this is considered a major feature when it really is nothing more than a application upgrade to include EWS.

Yeah I can see that. I feel that the inaccuracy comes from the ease at which results can be skewed with breathalyzers.

You will never know the exact amount unless you draw blood. But with breath tests, there is a generally accepted ratio of amount of alcohol in breath as to the blood. More than likely the same thing will be done with this device. Both devices are used for their quick and easy usage and generally accurate results.

I wasn't interested in the sources of error. I was just point out how the things generally work. There are many ways to skew the results, some you can do and some cops can do.

Breath-alyzers do exactly that. From the sample of alcohol in your breath it figures out the percentage in your blood stream, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer#Law_enforcement And just because someone can "handle it better" than others, doesn't make it ok.
