Well, this explains a lot

Curious about how one appoints a new Vice President, I started digging around for a copy of the US Constitution, I came across http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.html. However, what I wanted was the amendments, so I dropped off "Constitution.html" and got back the following page: (the actual error is more interesting, it's a 401 (Not Authorized) vs 404).

Silly me, trolling around the US House web site looking for the Constitution when I know that's the last place to look for a valid copy of it.

The amendments are listed here.

Wanted by the Police: A Good Interface

Wanted by the Police: A Good Interface: Since June, the [San Jose, CA] police department has been using a new mobile dispatch system that includes a Windows-based touch-screen computer in every patrol car. But officers have said the system is so complex and difficult to use that it is jeopardizing their ability to do their jobs.
