in ohio recently, a man who had been convicted of pedophilia was recently arrested on similar charges for writing fictional stories about fictional children in his own personal diary for his own personal consumption. . . .
When I was a senior in HS, I worked for the tech assistants for my last class, then worked in the theatre shop. I had a frequent need to use small screwdrivers, etc., in both places, and my house was over three miles away. If I'd had the money for a Leatherman or similar tool at the time, I'd've used it frequently. But since it has two 3" blades and a fish scaler that looks like a saw, it would've been illegal, and Michigan state law would have required I be expelled for an entire year.
also: you may have the option to leave an airport and use a different mode of transport, but you can't leave the schools. . . .

the majority of the ones i get have subject lines ending with a dash & a bunch of random-looking characters . . . i just look for the ones with a half-inch of empty space in the subject line
I'm not sure about the NC$$ Ice Hockey Tournament Dates. In the past, they've done the final four the week after the regionals, which were this past weekend (25-26). I don't know if they changed it to not compete with the bounceyball tournament
BMG Entertainment, the music division of the Bertelsmann company, has started selling CDs with copy protection using the Cactus DATA Shield. This mechanism was developed in co-operation with the Israeli software enterprise Midbar and Sonopress from Germany. So far the albums "Razorblade Romance" by the group Him and "My Private War" by former Independent-Heroen Philip Boa & The Voodoo Club.
The copy protection prevents not only the selection and copying of the audio tracks on a PC, but also a playing on all CD-ROM Drives as well as on older audio CD players. A reader reported to "c't" that one such protected CD malfunctioned even on a two years old Philips Player. Particularly annoying: There is no note on the outside; it's only on the CD that one finds "note: Copy-protected CD - Not playable on a PC!" The warning is to be taken seriously: After approximately 30 seconds playing on a PC aborts; also MP3 data cannot be created.
The "c't" laboratory is checking whether the copy protection also affects copying by SPDIF Digitalausgang on a better CD player; possibly it influences the error correction of the player and with it concomitantly (therefore) the digital signal. If that is, those CDs might not be entitled to use the Compact Disc Digital Audio seal due to the Red Book standard. When asked by "c't," BMG confessed "certain difficulties" with the copy protection. Until these are cleared, no further new CDs using it will probably appear for the time being.
Also what few sales were made weren't even enthusiastically: Saturn Hansa for example registered a increased return ratio because of alleged inability to use the CDs. A Brinkmann worker complained about not being able to play the Him CD on his store's radio station system with which customers can listen to CDs before buying. The Linux based music server crashes when reading the CD so thoroughly that only a cold restart helps.
Italics means BabelFish blew it so thoroughly I couldn't make sense of it.
