Lockyer's a three-strikes case. He wasn't sentenced to life for stealing dvds; he was sentenced for getting a third felony. I'm not defending that -- I disagree with the three strikes law and I think the High Court made the wrong decision here -- but the decision was about the three strikes law, not about what is a reasonable punishment for stealing DVDs.
One might almost say that the summary of the article is more informative than the article itself. Well, I wouldn't know, and you shouldn't either. We're not supposed to RTFA around here - turn in your slashdot ID at the door.
I've never missed having one, even when my wife was quite pregnant. But that's the most important time to have one -- when she's far to preoccupied to notice all those phone calls to your lover.
If fake Apple products catch fire, it is the just wrath of the almighty Jobs sending a message to the nonbelievers. If your knockoff power adapters simply died without incident, I'd say you got off easy.
Violence is just as natural as Sex Sure, but for fuck's sake, running around naked, pissing on the ground, eating uncooked food and hurling shit at everything in sight in order to mark our territory is also quite natural, but our species has somehow figured out that we can be much healthier and more productive as individuals and groups if we develop other ways of behaving. I'm sick of hearing that this or that dysfunctional behavior is "natural"; so what if it is? That doesn't mean it's good and that doesn't mean it isn't destructive, and it doesn't mean we shouldn't find other ways of living together on this planet. (I'm not a pacifist, by the way, but I think that particular argument is a red herring).
I didn't RTFA either but this was in the summary: "Other surprisingly low death rates are reported in studies of Chernobyl and of a secret Siberian town called Mayak, devoted to producing plutonium"
What I don't get -- if there are published studies about this town it's not really secret is it?
That makes the rate at which I kill off brain cells with booze and weed seem pretty tame by comparison.... I'd say this calls for a celebration! Care to join me in a belt of scotch?
The program can index 'IP-tapped' calls by caller - using SIP identity information - and by recipient, and even by date." Wow -- even by date!! What evil genius was able to come up with a clever way to get a computer to tell you what day it is? These kids are too smart for their own good. All hackers and potential hackers - hell, everyone under 30 - should be jailed forthwith.
The only business model a lot of people here seemed to support was AllofMP3, but honestly 10 cent non-DRMed songs really isn't a viable business model, as much as everyone wants it to be. And why not? It seems viable enough for Russian businesses operating under Russian law. Where is it written that musicians -- or the corporations who control their distribution channels -- have to be billionaires?
I looked at that translation; check out the moderations -- "score 3, It is strange funny" and "score 4, splendid discernment." For the hell of it, I used babelfish to translate "First post" from English to Japanese and then back again. The result was "Engaging in floor bugle."

That's nothing; just wait until MP95 comes out. There will be a huge ad campaign.
Lower the damages to $699, the cost of a license from SCO to use the code in the first place...
Make it show an OS X desktop.
Please wear a helmet; look out for flying chairs.
It just looks that way in those jeans

How many cubits is that? And how many libraries of congress can it hold?
I'm not surprised at all that scientists found the iPod Nano dangerous, especially after this incident.
It's a backhanded insult. And well deserved, in my opinion (and I love the purple one's music).
Heck, if it's written in a web page called "panspermia," it must be true!
Not only that, it's louder too -- it goes to eleven.

Just use microwave radiation to stop the car, of course.
There's a trojan pre-installed on the submarine's main data drive.
