This is the takeaway for the TL;DR crowd :) ""Under this model, small increases in sentence length led to large differences in the rate of incarceration regardless of race. That means harsher sentencing policy may have the unintended consequence of increasing crime, rather than reducing it.”"

I wonder if these would work http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LED-44-5mm-convex-lens-optica...

They look close. I need something in Australia.

That thing on tabao looks so geeky, I am not sure which is worse the cardboard or the plastic.:)

Not true for me. I did two majors and changed to another minor in a proper UK university not those polyversities;)

I searched for 'the IT Crowd' and it got something that 'the IT Crowd' guy was in and not the actual IT crowd. Looks like a good idea. I am sure I saw something like this for movies but for TV shows is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.

Install readability in chrome then see it in a much more nicely presented manner

I am more worried about cryptolocker than the Silk Road or its derivatives.

These people must be getting the money out somehow via the visible blockchain.

This is how a scout leader ran drugs through an airport.

Surely terrorists/drug dealers would dress up like grandmothers if we think like this.

The women weren't looking at their best whereas the men in the main look quite cool.

I bet they invented polymath.

I know someone who it affected and they were going to buy their kindle from somewhere other than Amazon.

So I guess it does impact their brand but unfortunately sometimes there is no where else to go.

The police go to Jack's house and educate him on not drinking and driving and give him a free taxi token.

I know what I am getting the wife but I don't know about the girlfriend yet:)

Seems expensive to me.

I didnt really look at the components or r&d involved. Is it that much better than a tomato/dd-wrt based router?

The wikipedia portal is really good thanks for that.

Also the bit of news website didnt work for me.

Coming soon to an episode of CSI

I shall invoke Sturgeon's Law: ("ninety percent of everything is crap." )

Sturgeon's revelation, commonly referred to as Sturgeon's law, is an adage commonly cited as "ninety percent of everything is crap." It is derived from quotations by Theodore Sturgeon, an American science fiction author and critic: while Sturgeon coined another adage that he termed "Sturgeon's law", it is his "revelation" that is usually referred to by that term.

The phrase was derived from Sturgeon's observation that while science fiction was often derided for its low quality by critics, it could be noted that the majority of examples of works in other fields could equally be seen to be of low quality and that science fiction was thus no different in that regard to other art forms.

You toss your keyboard in the dishwasher and it still works ??? Not just the keys?

I would never have dreamed of doing that. :)

Makes you think though. Setup a site take the lot, blame it on a robbery == Millionaire.

The agents.

I hate my CV. I have revised it so many times. Its currently 3 pages (25 years experience) and in Australia people have said it needs more detail.

I just have no idea what to add. Anybody got any good sites for CVs?

IANAL either but now its publicised, I suspect they would be knowingly violating or at the very least they could be accused of it.

Can't recreate it on my Australian HTC One with 4.2.2

I have just over 1. I have traded really hard to get here. I started with about 0.3. I wish I had put some real money in but hey ho

I see it as a curiosity that might go somewhere.I think that the govts will wake up and stop it, if it looks too successful.

Thats a bit scary that quote :)

That made me actually lol in the office.

For a different view on working hard, take a look at In Praise of Idleness By Bertrand Russell " I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs to be preached in modern industrial countries is quite different from what always has been preached."

This reminds me of Homeland by Cory Doctorow. I have now got visions of drones and gassing.

I can type my password quicker than I can get a fingerprint reader to work. I dont get it really. I dont want one password for every site on the internet - which is what a fingerprint would be.

I had a fingerprint reader on my last leptop and it was a novelty. Apple inventing stuff that has already been invented since the mp3 player - but unfortunately getting massive amounts oof uptake.

They called this the punch card in the 1960s - have I gone too far :)

In Australia they don't have Amazon. I guess there are other places like this too. So its not a world monopoly. I miss Amazon :)
