And 'X' never marks the spot.

That was my first thought as well. Babies make a lot of weird, though normal, noises. Just listening to them sleep can be anxiety-inducing. Was that gurgling normal, or a real problem? He stopped breathing agai...oh no, he's OK. What is that awful sound he's making?

Monitoring and interpreting even more data is going to be daunting and nail-biting. Unless they're sick and need the monitoring, I would not recommend monitoring healthy babies.

Oh great, you again. I suppose if I were worried about a threat from 50 years ago, you'd tell me to skate to where the puck's gonna be. There have been several attempts to blow up planes, and now that they realize hijacking is no longer effective, it's been the focus of their attention. A fully loaded jumbo jet with jet fuel exploding shortly after takeoff over a city might be kind of a problem. The cleanup costs of 9/11 in New York City alone exceeded $20 billion.

Blowing up a bus wouldn't be nearly as expensive as a plane. The cleanup costs of New York City alone after 9/11 exceeded $20 billion, let alone the rest of the economic damage it did. Bad analogy.

How do passengers fight back against explosives again? Hijacking isn't the only threat anymore, in case you haven't noticed.

Aaaaaand we still have it. And 30+ other seperate intranets of various classifications. (IAA Intelligence Analyst)

Especially when you haven't mastered English yet.

What an awful slogan. How about, "Markerboards, not Makerbots!"

DoD has been talking for a while about a BYOD approach. Not sure if that's what they mean here, but it's possible.

Why would productivity decrease with an iPhone or Android phone in your hand vice a Blackberry?

I was the same way. But this last time, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. I checked the price on Amazon while in the store, and it was the exactly the same with no shipping. Granted, I paid sales tax in Best Buy, but it sounds like pretty soon we'll be paying sales tax on Amazon too. The accessories, OTOH, were hideously overpriced, so I went home and ordered on Amazon.

My thoughts exactly. NSA is not a law enforcement agency, and PRISM has nothing to do with requesting data on individual users.

Did you get permission to reproduce that?

And now that it's linked on slashdot, I'm sure that number will plateau and taper off.

And some couldn't.
