The difference? The difference is null...
In Alberta Canada we just had a provincial election. Each of the 4 official parties had the EXACT same platform.

So why vote? My voice is lost because there is no one to represent it.

Oh right, I did vote, Communist.
The most honest of the lot.

Aerial Drones To Help Cops In Miami 274

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday March 26, 2008 @01:23PM from the now-we-just-need-a-good-rigger dept.

Catoonsis writes "Reuters is reporting that 'Miami police could soon be the first in the United States to use cutting-edge, spy-in-the-sky technology to beef up their fight against crime.' The police force is planning to make use of a small aerial drone, capable of hovering and quick maneuvers, to monitor the Miami-Dade area and alert officers of potential problems. The device, manufactured by Honeywell, is awaiting FAA approval before it can be put into use. This decision is just the latest chapter in the developing relationship between law enforcement and robotic assistants. 'U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been flying drones over the Arizona desert and southwest border with Mexico since 2006 and will soon deploy one in North Dakota to patrol the Canadian border as well. This month, Customs and Border Protection spokesman Juan Munoz Torres said the agency would also begin test flights of a modified version of its large Predator B drones, built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, over the Gulf of Mexico.'"
