illegal Summary:A panel of appeals judges has ruled that police
must obtain a warrant before collecting cellphone location data,
adding further weight to the pro-privacy argument. Image:
CNET/CBS Interactive A US court has ruled that police and other
law enforcement agencies must obtain a search warrant before
acquiring location data stored in cellphones and smartphones.
Three judges in the US Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit agreed
on Wednesday that acquiring records of which cell towers connect
to a smartphone and tablet, as well as when they connect,
constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment, which prevents
unreasonable searches and seizures. It comes almost a year
after a ruling by the US Appeals Court for the 5th Circuit,
which ruled that location data stored on mobile devices is not
protected under the constitution. Wednesday's ruling by the

-0.903801 | 5.19145 | 4 | Every now and again a new, ultra-rare hypercar comes along,
with less than 100 units made for a very exclusive clientele.
The McLaren F1, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, and the Ferrari 250
GTO all fall into this category. So too, does the Aston Martin
One-77, and with only 77 units built (see what they did there?),
it's a beautiful thing. The One-77 was announced at a weird
time, just as the economy was completely collapsing. Even still,
Aston forged ahead, and they somehow managed to sell every
single car they made despite the astronomical price tag of
somewhere around $1,700,000. This documentary from National
Geographic takes a look at the heritage that went into the car,
the design process, how they're built, and, luckily for us, even
what they sound like. It's also interesting to note the hyper-
modern factory, and it's especially comparable to McLaren.
Unfortunately, they don't have any footage of One-77s randomly
stalling around Paris. You'll have to stick to Jalopnik for
that. |
1.366397 | 9.683196 | 22 | Choosing from Multiple Options in the C Language with ELSE-IF
The C language gives you a number of ways to build a program
that makes a decision. If you need something to happen only when
a particular prerequisite is met, C offers you the if keyword.
If your program needs to choose from two paths, using else with
your if statement gives you even more choices. If your C
program needs to make a more complicated decision, you can use
else if. By using else if, you can have several if statements
piled on top of each other, narrowing a complex decision tree
into a few possible outcomes: #include <stdio.h> int main()

if(temp < 65) printf("My but it's a bit chilly out!\n");

Stephen Grey BBC Radio 4's File on 4 A former CIA official has
confirmed suspicions that dozens of terror suspects have been
flown to jails in Middle Eastern countries where torture is
routinely practised, and without reference to courts of law.
Michael Scheuer, who once headed the hunt for Osama Bin Laden
and left the CIA last November after a 22-year career, said the
practice, known as "extraordinary rendition", was seen by the US
as a key tactic in its war on terror. "The bottom line is

terrorism is a worthwhile activity," he told the BBC's File On 4

Creation Evolution Journal Scientific Creationism: Adding

has been interpreted by most observers as a resurgence of belief
in biblical literalism. I have surveyed the material of sixteen
years of the creationist journal Creation Research Society
Quarterly and have discovered that many creationist beliefs,
while based upon biblical literalism, consist largely of
extrabiblical and occasionally wild imagination. Therefore, a
discussion of the appropriateness or the inappropriateness of
biblical literalism can only be a partial treatment of the
controversy. Most theologians have not only rejected the
literalist approach to the Bible but insist that such an
interpretation was never intended by the Bible writers. Bernard

tactics that resulted in the current budget problem. Instead of
creating a leaner and more transparent government, Quinn’s new
budget relies on billions of dollars in tax and fee hikes on

more money out of the economy where it would otherwise be
invested—to start or grow businesses or hire more employees—or
spent by consumers. Raising taxes on income (hurts working

introduced the change on Oct. 1 in conjunction with another
sweeping licensing revision that, according to research firm
Gartner, raised software costs for many customers from 33
percent to 107 percent. "The message here is customer pressure
works, and the government scrutiny helped," said Gartner analyst
Neil MacDonald. But the change, while technically a victory for
Microsoft customers, may not be logistically feasible for many
of those affected. A provision affecting Windows XP could compel
some companies to subscribe to a higher-level volume-licensing

Wagoner led GM to big profits earlier this decade with

But spiking fuel prices have popped that balloon, and now GM is
rushing to cut costs, slow its cash burn and finally make cars
people want to buy. Wagoner, as always, says management has "the
right plan for GM." Why others are miserable: Analysts expect
to see the company raise more capital, even with shares having

August 18, 2009 Top 10 Mistakes Restaurant Goers Make
RealSeafoodDesserts.jpgIn an earlier post we talked about the
mistakes diners make. Not the things that annoy the wait staff,
which was the subject of another post, but things we do as
restaurant goers that make the experience less than stellar. I
even asked a couple of restaurant owners things like should we
not order fish on Mondays? (I learned the only day when seafood
and produce deliveries aren't made is Sunday.) They weren't
going to tell me what their chef's night off is; but if you
could find that out from your server, it would be something to
make note of for future visits. ... Should I tell you not to
walk in when there's a "help wanted" sign posted in the window?

your reservation at 7 p.m. (like everyone else in Baltimore).

Anatomy of an Argument Sometimes, biblical stories are complex
or densely and intricately woven; other times, the storyline
seems straightforward, morally unequivocal, simple stuff: right
and wrong, good and bad. One such seemingly open and shut case
is the killing of Zimri at the hands of Pinchas. While pacifists
might decry the taking of a life, in this case a moral outrage
was spreading in the camp - wanton, orgiastic debauches and
idolatry. Zimri, a leader of the tribe of Shimon, publicly takes
Kozbi, a willing participant from the daughters of Midian. The
transgression is flagrant and unmistakable, brazen and
unabashed. Pinchas steps in to end the disgrace, to halt the
epidemic by means of the sword. The reward he is given leaves
little room for doubt: Pinchas is good, Zimri is bad. Pinchas is

Subject: Law of random numbers My question is about the law of
random numbers. I've recently been debating over the lottery.
In Texas we choose 6 numbers between 1 and 50, so the
probability of winning is 1/50x49x48x47x46x45. If I were to
list every combination of numbers they would all be equally
likely to be drawn. So, for example, the combination 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6 should be the same probability as say 5, 10, 18, 33,
45, 50. It has been brought to my attention that the law of
random numbers changes the odds of picking numbers in order, or
close in order. I have been told that numbers in order, such as
1,2,3,4,5,6, have a smaller probability than numbers that are
more random. Is this true and how is it proven? Date:

Nov 2005 (UTC) I dont care much for the universal translator. If
you don't speak english you mouth (or other bodypart that might
construct your speach) should move in a different way. I have
never seen that happen in any episode and I guess it's because
it would look very annoying (at best). Anyway. Maybe it's true
that people still speak different languages in the warp-era. I
just think it would be more efficient to change to one and the

Armitage Publication THE magazine Categories Entertainment &
Nightlife At the Golden Globe awards ceremony in January,
Martin Scorsese won the Best Director award for his film "Hugo,"
a mythic and melancholy fable. "The Artist," directed by Michel
Hazanavicius, is a dazzling and delicious paean to the golden
age of silent movies, and it won the award for Best Comedy, for
Best Score (Ludovic Bource), and for Best Actor (Jean Dujardin).
But as I write this, the awards and nominations don’t stop there
for this unusual pair of movies that have at their heart a
backward motion toward the roots of early cinema. "Hugo" is an

underlying problem with a digital signal is skew rate. A digital
signal doesn't instantaneously switch from low to high or vice
versa, even in a single transistor. It has a finite time it
takes to "ramp" up to the necessary voltage. I think now a CPU
reads 1.2V or higher as a binary 1 (correct me if I'm wrong) and
285mV or lower as a 0 (again, may not be up to date). At 1000GHz

technically a sports movie, rather a story of relationships with
sports as a backdrop. The makers have made it clear that the
movie is based on a true story, a story of a sportsman's
triumph. Now there are two basic problems with such sports-

Following the Weekly Parsha by Rabbi Yaakov Bernstein This,
the central portion of the Torah, begins by stating that we
shall be holy. Holiness has something to do with being separate,
being special. Yet, the same parsha states: "You shall love your
fellow as yourself." We must separate from that which is
detrimental, but not from our fellowman. We must separate from
activities which are unhealthy for the body and soul -- but not
separate from our social responsibilities. We must strive to be
holy, and yet not condemn the "unholy." So often, the heroes of
Israel, the holiest people, were not buried in their books, but
immersed in the problems of their flock, and concerned with the
salvation of humanity. Hillel said, "Always be involved with
people." "You shall love your fellow as yourself." Rabbi Akiva
said: "This is the great principle of the Torah."

Villanova is a self-centered, workaholic feminist politician
who, upon reluctantly returning to her home in the south of
France to sort out her mother’s affairs, runs for an local
election. Upon her arrival, Agathe grudgingly agrees to take
part in a documentary being made by the blundering duo of Karim
an aspiring filmmaker, and self-professed "reporter" Michel, on
the subject of “successful women." As Agathe's life hilariously
unravels, the camera is there to capture it all. (IFC Film)

Gremlin Theatre: Every god needs a BFF Per, an online anthology
of English literature, Algernon Charles Swinburne says of
Christopher Marlowe, "He is the greatest discoverer, the most
daring and inspired pioneer, in all our poetic literature.
Before him there was neither genuine blank verse nor a genuine
tragedy in our language. After his arrival the way was prepared,
the paths were made straight, for Shakespeare." I knew from an
upbringing rich with literature that Christopher Marlowe was a
big deal. But other than the occasional reference in high school
and college lit classes, I've heard little detail. That was part
of my motivation to review Dido, Queen of Carthage, being staged
through March 20th by Theatre Pro Rata at St. Paul's Gremlin
Theatre. My other motivation included TPR's home page invitation
noting that the opening night would begin with a "Smoldering
Soiree" and end with a "Bonfire of the Voracities." Since it's

Alcatraz: fun while it lasted? Three reasons to celebrate the
sorta-local Fox show while it's still on the air. Clint
Eastwood did it in a 1979 film; MythBusters deemed it
logistically possible in 2003; and now, Lost creator J.J. Abrams
is giving the concept a supernatural spin. In his new show,
Alcatraz, all of the inmates, who vanished in 1963 when the
prison closed, suddenly begin reappearing in 2012, without
having aged or been in any way rehabilitated. So far, that has
made for the periodically cheesy adventures of a cute detective
(Sarah Jones) and her historian–comics geek sidekick (Jorge
Garcia), along with a few scenery-chewing villains and Robert
Forster as a fleeting father figure—all of them supervised by
Sam Neill as some vaguely sinister Fed. But it has also made for
slumping ratings and lukewarm (or worse) reviews, so we figure
it’ll be off the air in no time. And that’s too bad. Below,
three reasons we’d just as soon stay on th |

If the Liberal Democrats can break their pledge on university
tuition fees, their Conservative bedfellows can break theirs on
immigration. The Tories’ campaign promise to put a cap on non-EU
immigration was one of those populist panderings that doesn’t
address the root problem. To be sure, there are many people who
simply dislike foreigners for being, well, foreign and there’s
not much any government can do about that. Others think
immigrants take jobs away from locals, but most such jobs are
those the locals refuse to do or aren’t qualified to do.
Probably what riles most anti-immigration sentiment is a sense
that, in recent years, too many immigrants with no skills, no
income and no assets have moved to the UK for its seemingly
generous but inefficient benefits system, not to mention free
health care and education for their children. But the
fundamental problem here isn’t immigration, it’s the benefits
system and the universal access to health |

0.277773 | 8.576821 | 103 | Take the 2-minute tour × I installed gnome-shell and attempted
to log in to a Gnome session, but there is something wrong with
the graphics driver or something; all animations are accompanied
by a lot of fuzz, blocks of random pixels are everywhere, so I
decided to switch back. Now the default Ubuntu session doesn't
start Unity any more. The only session that works as it is
supposed to is Ubuntu 2d. I've already followed the advice on
the other questions: Removed gnome-shell, gnome, gnome-fallback
and all associated with it, removed and reinstalled ubuntu-
desktop, and it did not help. Not sure what is going on here.

this answer unity is installed. Per your suggestion, I have used
apt-get -f to remove it without removing a hundred other
