Teen arrested for attempted burglary
Des Moines police officers arrested a 16-year-old Thursday for attempted burglary at Lincoln High School.
Officers said they were responding to a triggered alarm at the school at 1:47 a.m. and found Spencer Lee Starrett of Des Moines running northbound from the school, according to the police report.
Officers ordered Starrett at gunpoint to stop.
Officers said Starrett first obeyed by falling to the ground, but then got up and walked toward an officer waving his arms.
An officer was able to grab Starrett and handcuff him.
Officers found a broken window and a landscaping brick covered in mud in front of the window.
Officers said in the police report that “there was no evidence that actual entry was made.”
Police said Starrett admitted to drinking shots of alcohol.
Starrett was also charged with public intoxication and interference with official acts.

Expect MS to counter with another FUD campaign, much like they did against linux.

Formal logic does not apply to online conversations about Digg users. Use the context, Luke.

Ugh, Open Office is TERRIBLE, why does everyone automatically LOVE anything that’s open source? It can be just as crap as regular software.

I moved from Digg. It has completely gone down the hole, and last night’s fiasco dug its final hole (pun intended). I’ve visited Reddit before and notices it has always had better news.

May 1st is International Labour Day. Its an International Memorial to the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886. There, the Police and Hired Thugs, with the blessings and arms from the Town’s Plutocracy, killed and assaulted a Pro-Labour rally. An Agent Provocateur was used to instigate the assault. Many Americans dont know it, because in the USA, May 1st is “Loyalty Day” (i kid you not). This event shaped and inspired the Labour Movement around the world. I’m betting very very few Reddit-users know this — and that is a shame in so many ways.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_Riot)
