it's certainly been awhile since I've seen a case that small in relation to a gaming pc

this thread at ars technica concerning the event dates back to 2002

I initially wanted to provide a link to Ars Technica, since pop-science is a bit their thing, but they had no article up yet. This now fixed;

Summary on Ars Technica.

See also Zifnab's Awesome Lego Star wars Hologram and the Sega Time Traveler videos for more. Ars Technica have a nice article on the subject too.

The technique suddenly seems to be popping up everywhere!

And atleast they didn't pull an Ars Technica and whine and bitch about how offensive it is... That's like whining about salt being too salty.

Amy Goodman seems to have become the poster woman for the police misconduct at St. Paul, but I think her case is probably the least heinous and mildest of most of the cases I've read about. To my knowledge the producers of Democracy Now have since been released, but the crimes perpetrated by St. Paul police have not been answered. In my opinion the public should demand the resignation of the mayor, police commissioner, and all other leaders who were in charge of police conduct during this time, but I haven't heard a peep suggesting any of those actions.

UPDATE: Hey, those are some pretty inflammatory comments up there, huh? I stand by them, but not without evidence. I don't have access to a Sift Blog and I wasn't sure if dumping links into a Sift Talk post is really appropriate, but the links springing up in the comments of a recent Ars Technica article have some pretty good information in them.

Updated the description with a better article from Ars Technica. While I'm here, my 2c on this:

I love the idea, but I realize that there will be problems with abuse. The biggest problem I see is false reviews, since it's really a "your word vs. mine" situation. Proper administration can deal with the most obvious trolls, but I don't know what could be done against a made-up post along the lines of "X was rude to me".

What I really don't like, however, is that the police are making such strong claims against the service, like "The FOP opposes any release of information that places officers' lives in danger. ... We are very familiar with the first amendment and defend it vigorously but we also believe that officer safety must trump the public's right to know." I don't see how this is anything but FUD - ratemycop.com only lists the cops' names, which are already publicly available. This has nothing to do with "officer safety".

The thing that pisses me off about Greenpeace (and all these other self-styled protectors of the planet/animals) is that they love issuing blanket proclmations that are nothing more than headline grabbers. These proclamations are typically backed by poor, or non-existent, research. In this case, Ars-Technica has an article dinging GP's position.

So Mario gets a big fat zero, just because GP's research is based around two paragraphs on Nintendo's website? Was there even dialog initiated with the company in the first place?

It's why people are getting their news from John Stewart, Bill Maher, and Stephen Colbert. The comedians are the only place you can go these days for serious news. Though Bill Moyers isn't bad either. Here's a segiment of a piece I wrote on this...

Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher are often excellent sources of information on current world affairs. Studies have shown that viewers of their new genre of news as comedy are more informed about world affairs, are generally also more cynical about candidates, campaigns, the electoral system and the news media than network news viewers. Like Clarksville Online, they are an excellent alternative to traditional media.

Using the entire half-hour programs as the basis of analysis yielded the same results: there was just as much substance to The Daily Show’s coverage as there was on the network news. And The Daily Show was much funnier, with less of the hype—references to photo ops, political endorsements, and polls—that typically overshadows substantive coverage on network news, according to the study…

Professor Fox’s study, titled “No Joke: A Comparison of Substance in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Broadcast Network Television Coverage of the 2004 Presidential Election Campaign,” will be published next summer in the Journal of Broadcast and Electronic Media. - Ars Technica interview with Professor Fox

I wasn't kidding.

They finally posted part 2....
