And now, some good news

Now for some positive headlines:

According to new research, human bones can be used to transmit data if sound waves are projected through them. Apparently the data loss is very low. Imagine the future applications for this. We could have full-blown TCP/IP networks going through our bodies without resorting to the same sort of radiation that is used in current wireless networking.

Read this story about how a woman actually chased down and caught the bitch who stole her identity. Sort of a mixed story because of how lenient the system was on the perp, but it's a good story in that she caught the woman in the first place and got her end cleared up.

Sometimes it is good to embarrass the hell out of the legal system. Since Kathryn Johnston's murder, the Atlanta PD has face a lot of scrutiny from judges when they issue warrants. Six months after, the rate that they have gotten drug warrants is done to less than 20% of what they had before, and they've been denied on every application for a no-knock warrant. Sometimes some real positive change can happen with greater scrutiny.
