...novel by Philip K. Dick, whose stories have been turned into Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report. Linklater has managed to make A Scanner Darkly as a $3 million indie, getting the actors to work for scale, Dick's daughters to give up the book's rights cheap and, from the looks of the ages of his programmers, giving a lot of fresh-out-of-college kids their first...
Most counterterrorism experts don't think high-tech bomb-detection solutions will ever work for public transit.

...often wondered to myself, as I sat, not moving, running late for wherever I had to be, why so many others also chose to drive to work. Unlike Boston, New York’s public transportation system never stops running. Cheap, diverse, and affordable, I can travel the same distance in anywhere from 22 minutes to an hour for between $2 (subway) and $9 (train at rush hour). So, why do many commuters choose the more expensive option—driving—when parking costs $10 to $40 per day and the car is slower, especially if you spend...
