So, if your browser is configured to keep cookies, does that imply consent to place cookies?

If you configure your browser to disallow cookies from certain sites, you're denying consent, and it doesn't even require the sites to be changed at all.

So, why does this law exist again? It looks -1, Redundant to me.

Submission + - City of Boston pays $170,000 to settle landmark case involving man arrested for (aclum.org) 1

Ian Lamont writes: "The City of Boston has reached a $170,000 settlement with Simon Glik who was arrested by Boston Police in 2007 after using his mobile phone to record police arresting another man on Boston Common. Police claimed that Glik had violated state wiretapping laws, but later dropped the charges and admitted the officers were wrong to arrest him. Glik had brought a lawsuit against the city (aided by the ACLU) because he claimed his civil rights were violated. According to today's ACLU statement:

As part of the settlement, Glik agreed to withdraw his appeal to the Community Ombudsman Oversight Panel. He had complained about the Internal Affairs Division's investigation of his complaint and the way they treated him. IAD officers made fun of Glik for filing the complaint, telling him his only remedy was filing a civil lawsuit. After the City spent years in court defending the officers' arrest of Glik as constitutional and reasonable, IAD reversed course after the First Circuit ruling and disciplined two of the officers for using "unreasonable judgment" in arresting Glik.

Slashdot doesn't seem to mind about Slashdot.jp: Slashbox preview for Slashdot.jp, but I don't know about solidot.org. If you scroll down, they link back to Slashdot.org, but also to a site about an "anticancer herb", which sounds shifty. Also, one of the article submitters, whose names links to Solidot.org, and so is probably a site editor, is called Blackhat :-P

New Algorithm Could Substantially Speed Up MRI Scans 115

Posted by Soulskill from the algorithms-what-can't-they-do dept.
An anonymous reader writes "In a paper to be published in the journal Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, researchers detail an algorithm they have developed to dramatically speed up the process of producing MRI scans. The algorithm uses information gained from the first contrast scan to help it produce the subsequent images. In this way, the scanner does not have to start from scratch each time it produces a different image from the raw data, but already has a basic outline to work from, considerably shortening the time it takes to acquire each later scan."
