Explaing How Interent Website Bots Work and their purpose

The Bot Problem is Getting Worse and Nike Has the Only Answer (So Far)

"First, some websites already write their own “bot code” of some sort. Used as a programming tool for quality-assurance purposes, this is known as acceptance testing. These bots are operated internally by the online stores themselves to run a suite of tests every time the site’s code is updated, making sure the store is running in top shape."

Catching Up with Former Death Row Inmate, Damien Echols, and a Member of the West Memphis Three

Catching Up with Damien Echols, Former Death Row Inmate and a Member of the West Memphis Three

http://vice-images.vice.com/images/content-images/2015/05/21/catching-up-with-damien-echols-of-the-west-memphis-three-333-body-image-1432208978.jpg

If you're familiar with the case of the West Memphis Three, you'll be aware that attempting to condense the complexity, length, and injustice of it all into a few paragraphs is near impossible. If you're unfamiliar with it, then watching the excellentParadise Lost trilogy of documentaries—as well as Amy Berg's equally fantastic West of Memphis—serves as a good introduction to this astonishing story.

In short, the West Memphis Three are Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. They were three boys from West Memphis, Arkansas, aged between 16 and 18, who in 1993 were arrested and convicted for the murder and sexual mutilation of three eight-year-old boys—Steve Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. Due to the apparent acts of mutilation it was accused that what had taken place was in fact a satanic ritual—human sacrifices. The pressure on the police to solve the heinous crime was huge, which, combined with the town having a history of supposed witchcraft and satanic practices, left a community shattered and in terrifying fear. Echols, Misskelley, and Baldwin were picked up as they were known friends and were into what a lot of alienated teenagers were into: heavy metal, wearing black, being left alone, and doing their own thing.

Air Force launches hush-hush mini-shuttle into space

Originally published May 20, 2015 at 8:16 am Updated May 20, 2015 at 10:46 am

The Air Force launched its unmanned mini-shuttle late Wednesday morning. An Atlas V rocket lifted it up and out over the Atlantic.

This is the fourth flight for the military research program, which is shrouded in secrecy. The last X-37B mission lasted 674 days and ended with a California touchdown.

Altogether, the first three X-37B flights spanned 1,367 days. That’s 3½ years.

The Air Force won’t say how long this particular mission will last or where it will end. Public commentary about the launch ended barely five minutes after liftoff, well before the space plane was supposed to settle into a relatively low orbit.

The X-37B looks like a miniature version of a NASA space shuttle. It is 29 feet long — about one-quarter the length of a space shuttle — and its wingspan is about 15 feet.

Like the old shuttle, the Boeing-built X-37B launches vertically and lands horizontally, is reusable, and has lots of room for experiments. But no one flies on them; they are operated robotically.
