Divining the Future of Internet Law

Mansing writes: "In his last Cyber Law Journal (New York Times, registration required, etc.), Carl Kaplan has captured a collection of insights from the like of Dr. Larry Lessig and Dr. James Boyle. Each one of these correspondents brings a slightly different, and sometimes humorous, view of what legal challenges and legal decisions may face the users of technology in the next year."

    Actually I just wanted to stop the whining of "I cant be bothered to spend the time to make a fake password" posts that always go with a NYT article and the karma helps ;)

    Pithy, yet ultimately meaningless, phrase expressed with gusto!

  3. OT: Dissociative Identity Disorder, maybe by schmelter_tim · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Sorry, personal interest topic. Mental health issues are not widely understood, so let me say that I'm not sure Sony (or any other company, for that matter) would be classified as "bipolar". In psychological terms, "bipolar" means

    a major affective disorder in which an individual alternates between states of deep depression and extreme elation.

    In other words, "manic-depressive". I don't see Sony as ever being depressive in its actions against Aibo hackers... :-)

    You probably want some variation of: Dissociative Identity Disorder, or "Multiple Personality Disorder".
