But that doesn't address the question. Here is a good review of the case, which explains why the court decision was likely not the correct interpretation of the law. (As Prof. Martin points out, the defendant was pro se and probably didn't make the best arguments possible.)

It probably shouldn't be allowed to surf the Internet while driving, but it seems like that particular law doesn't actually forbid it.

The warning is here.

I'm afraid you've got a bit of a cock-up on the history front. You would benefit from reading a following, an excerpt of which is below: Who armed Saddam? - Some reality checks

Saddam's weapons came overwhelmingly from the Soviet Union & other Soviet Bloc countries (69% during this period), followed by France (13%) and China (12%) and a string of smaller suppliers. (For example, according to a 1984 SIPRI report, "During 1982-83, Iraq accounted for 40% of total French arms exports.") The figure for the US is 1%.

When it comes to Saddam Hussein's nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs, the picture is a little more complex. It seems clear that France was far and away the biggest supplier for the nuclear weapons program. Supplies for Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons (which included dual-use materials also suitable for making agricultural fertilizer, pesticides, medicines, etc.) were bought from a variety of sources, which seem to have been primarily western European or Russian and primarily private rather than governmental. For one discussion of the role played by German firms, for example, in supplying Saddam Hussein's poison-gas and biological-weapons programs, see The leading role of Germany in arming Iraq

A lot of the serious trouble in the ME has snowballed from the "Iran hostage crisis",

Change "Iran hostage crisis" to Iranian Islamic Revolution and you'll be closer to the truth. You would have made a huge mistake if you overlooked the role of ambition and scheming on the part of Persian, Arab, Muslim, nationalist, and socialist in the Middle East.

Blaming the woes of the Middle East on the United States and flashing pictures of Rumsfeld may be great fun, but it is also greatly off the mark. No American made Saddam use Oil for Food money to buy influence, weapons, and build 20 odd enormous palaces instead of buying medicine and food for his people. No American made Arafat steal a billion dollars from the Palestinians. There are plenty more examples of that. Much of their misery is self-made.

Here is a side by side of the two versions of the Surface I found with a quick Google search. Without reading the descriptions can you tell which one is which simply by looking at them? There are differences, and if you know what to look for you can tell them apart. However for the lay person who plays with one they simply aren't going to do so.

Unless there are some potential problems that aren't obvious to me now, this legislation is with Google's own ideas about privacy. Specifically, it's in line with "Make the collection of personal information transparent" and "Give users meaningful choices to protect their privacy."

Back in the 50s Fred Pohl wrote The Midas Plague, depicting the dark side of post-scarcity - that the lower classes would be forced to consume products at a higher rate to match the greater output available. A bit on the shallow side but still effective satire.

The only thing Jobs accomplished at Atari was the Breakout hardware design which pretty much everyone now admits was actually done by Wozniak in his spare time and Jobs took the credit for.

He didn't just take the credit - he baldly cheated Wozniak out of his share:

As an atheist, I have to chime in here and say that is a pretty broad statement to back up. Furthermore, it is not true.

I personally know many protestants who don't accept a literal interpretation of the bible, including ministers and youth ministers.

Your statement lumps Southern Baptists together with UCC and it is simply inaccurate. Additionally, my own denomination, Unitarian Universalism his strong roots in Protestantism, but is based on a non-literal interpretation of the bible and today members may not even read the bible.

Police routinely destroy, delete, edit and/or obfuscate footage when it shows them in an "unflattering" light, why do you expect everyday citizens to turn over evidence against themselves when the police fail to do the same?

If you're from someplace that actually has diplomatic relations with them, it might be easier. Then there's this guy, who went with a friend via the Russian border (normally off-limits to Western tourists), spent 36 hours in North Korea without a guide, and somehow managed to stay out of jail: http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.com/ (long travelogue including journey across Russia)

forgot to add, Myhrvold is on-record stating that IV generally doesn't invest in pharmaceutical type patents: http://leavingthesunbehind.blogspot.com/2012/11/part-ii-ipcheckups-intellectual.html so the whole drug-to-market issue isn't germane to the question as phrased (though it is interesting).

Google is however doing nothing to prevent this usage,

Really? Check out Merriam-Webster.

They also specifically ask that we respect their copyright for "Google" in this blog post.

He's full of shit. Besides linuxgames.com you can follow Free Gamer but it's not a directory, just a blog.

Agree with your analysis, but you might be interested in Khalsa v California [religionclause.blogspot.com].
That's a Sikh claiming that they are required to be "FULLY prepared to defend themselves and others"...with semi-auto "assault weapons", if that's what is required. (He also invokes the Second Amendment)

Considering the fact that it's the conservatives that are typically the most hostile towards the first amendment

Interesting hypothesis. I'm not as well-versed in the U.S. side of the border, but here in Canada defense of free speech comes almost exclusively from the right / conservative (note the lowercase "c") side. Google Ezra Levant, Mark Steyn, Kathy Shaidle, etc. Heck, read my crummy, long-neglected little blog. Attacks on free speech up here come far more often from the left, paving the road to Hell with the best of intentions.

My outside-looking-in impression of the U.S. of A. is that the situation is similar down there. The idea that some ideas (not actions) are not tolerable seems to be heard far more from the left.

The OTG is the latest IOIO. Ytai is still working on crazily trying to pack even more features on the thing (apparently, his goal is to fit in every single sort of IO that the ATmega is capable of), but the OTG is the current state-of-the-art.

Increased education lowers crime.

No, more educated people commit less crime. Those are not the same statement.

As for cost of education, let's take a good school system - New Trier in the northern suburbs of Chicago. They spent $100M to educate about 4000 students, or $25k/student. That's over a quarter of a million per student. How about a bad one - DC? They spent over $28k per student. Wow. Well, maybe we could choose somewhere poor. The poor souls of McDowell County, WV, are spending over $10k per student for some of the worst results in the state. That's got total expenditure for a K-12 education down to around $130k, so if you can come out of there and succeed, you'll definitely benefit the government, but even then you have to worry about the time value of money - a huge investment over 13 years that takes 13 more years just to break even if you're successful. And you'd have to be really successful - the average working male in McDowell County only makes $26k, not $40k.

Boney M? Beats being stuck in a wrecked car for 6 hours listening to Wham!

Oh, and btw: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.

Beautiful, beautiful strawman. *golfclap*

While there are a few judges that cause problems, the judge isn't the one dragging people to court, the judge isn't the one deciding what laws you broke, the judge isn't the one lying to the court.

The real problem is the prosecutors, who are untouchable and not held to account for their actions when they railroad innocent people and obstruct justice, even when their obstruction allows the guilty to continue killing. They tell the court that their DNA evidence is incontrovertible proof of guilt when it matches, but when it doesn't there's no end of excuses how the "guilty" did the crime while leaving someone else's DNA... when they don't just order the DNA evidence destroyed before it can be tested.

I, too, have thought about this idea for several years. It seems like it is a simple way to add another (greatly needed) check to balance out some of the issues our current mode of legislation lacks.

A few others are documented at:

I can sense some snake oil myths here. Two places that everyone even remotely serious about music quality should check out:
- NwAvGuy's blog (it may change your perspective on DIY and Hi-Fi audio quite dramatically)
- dynamic range database

Having some pretty decent gear (DAC, studio monitors and a silent PC - SSDs and passive cooling FTW) I can say that CD quality is fine. The problem lies in garbage quality of today's audio production. Vinyl is (often, but no always) better nowadays because it happens to have better production/mastering. It's a poor choice otherwise. So is SACD and DVD-Audio and whatever if there's only compressed garbage on it.
