Man cleared of drug-drive charges

`A driver picked up under ground-breaking roadside drug testing in Melbourne last week is demanding an apology after police tests today confirmed his innocence. [..]

Mr De Jong maintained his innocence and said he had last smoked cannabis four weeks before he was tested.

He had his blood sample tested at an independent laboratory, with the results showing no traces of drugs.

Today, Victoria Police told Mr De Jong their own tests had confirmed he was innocent.’


Hijacking message a prank

Mr Casale’s distressed wife alerted Italian police within minutes of receiving the flurry of messages at home in Milan.

Australian Federal Police were then told a group of terrorists had possibly boarded the flight in Sydney and were asked by Italian authorities to carry out background checks on all passengers.

Anti-terror agents in Kuala Lumpur were also tipped off about the possibility of another September 11-style terror attack. [..]’

LEGO Logic Gates

`A few people have designed boolean logic devices using LEGO pneumatics and gone on to develop fundamental computer devices such as full-adders and flip-flops. [..]

I have now designed working NOT, OR, NOR, AND, and NAND gates. Using two NAND gates I have produced a NAND gate latch or Flip-FLop. The natural follow on from these is clocked logic, full-adders and ultimately a genuine “computer” device.’
