Just give him Minecraft or even BFV. Nothing wrong with a shooter. BC2 or BF3 might be a little much.

Killer Convicted, Using Dog DNA Database 97
lee1 writes "It turns out that the UK has a DNA database — for dogs. And this database was recently used to apprehend a South London gang member who used his dog to catch a 16-year-old rival and hold him while he stabbed him to death. The dog was also accidentally stabbed, and left blood at the scene. The creation of human DNA databases has led to widespread debates on privacy; but what about the collation of DNA from dogs or other animals?"

say what? I've lived in 4 different houses in the past 8 years in three different FL counties where I've had a 'business' account with anywhere from 1 to 5 private IPs. Sure I pay a premium, but the service is still there if you need it.

I too run a business line into my home with RR for ~150.00 p/month. If they try to jack that crap around I'll be going back to FiOS; FiOS already feeds my myth boxes.

The issue is that this is an attempt to get religion, via intelligent design, taught in the classroom. This is but one small step in that direction, their foot is in the door.
MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers 299
theodp writes "Microsoft has applied for a patent for 'securely providing advertising subsidized computer usage.' The application describes how face-recognition webcams and CAPTCHAs can be used in schools to ensure that computer users are paying attention to ads, and the recourse of 'disabling or even repossessing the computer' if they are not."

An anonymous reader writes: Shortly after the bomb scare in Boston, the "bombs" themselves are being put up on ebay. While many were confiscated, or put in locations unreachable without a ladder, a select few got into the hands of the public. After the media frenzy over the alleged "bombs," the items began to appear on Ebay for prices upward of $1,000.

Submission + - New eBay scam, without violating ebay policy
Bert64 writes: "It seems that eBay allows you to say one thing about the location of an item in the auction description, but then if the item turns out to be defective to supply a completely different address, in another country, where the item can be returned at buyer's expense. No mention of this was in the original auction listing, in the hope of fooling those who would normally not buy from a foreign seller. Details on http://www.ev4.org/ of how i was stung by this, and how it can so easily be abused by anyone to profit by ripping off unsuspecting buyers while ebay sits back and does nothing about it. So anyone can ship defective items, and then make the returns process expensive enough that people won't bother."
