TECHNOLOGY WAR: Mind-reading tool to end terror
Bad idea. If the machine says you’ve been to an Al Queda training camp, and there is no evidence of doing so — will you be sent to Guantanimo? Since polygraph tests are not legally admissible, you’d think the answer is no. But Gitmo isn’t legal either!

That New Jersey video is fucked up. That other driver got out and tried to help, but I don’t think there was much he could do.

The driver who got out and helped was actually stupid — secondary explosions, anyone?

I guess I’m kinda missing the point on the NJ video. Judging by the look of the video, it was probably recorded by one of their traffic cameras. If the camera is owned by NJ, then yes, technically they would own the copyright to that video, be it in digital form or any other form. As such, they do have the right to enforce their ownership of it. If this was taken by some other individual, then that would be a different story.

There are grey areas.
Copyright works differently for information that is of public interest.
And public data is obtainable via freedom of information act regardless of copyright.
Public data is, well… Public.
Furthermore, if it’s gathered by a government that is supposed to be OF, BY, and FOR the people, in a public area, then it is really the people’s data, paid for with their tax dollars, regardless of what corrupt case law may say. . .
And if it’s a current, violent event (i.e. an explosion), it is most certainly of public interest…

That was freaky, I’m not sure what I would have done if I’d driven up to that scene. It was funny to see that one car right after it happened, who just sped right on through the left toll booth, right next to the fiery mess. Seemed kinda ballsy and heartless at the same time.
