Any appeals in Dmitry Sklyarov's case will go to the 9th Circuit, which is just one rung below the Supreme Court (and in fact, is the final say in most cases; only about 2% of cases appealed from Circuit Courts of Appeal are ever accepted for review by the Supreme Court.) It's cool that we have judges so high up the ladder who have a sense of individual liberties and enough tech know-how to work around The System to achieve it.
Let's see, Anakin gets accepted into a Jedi school on another planet, and then Amidala gathers up all her costume changes and her fur-upholstered knickknacks and droids, and... oh forget it.
... the lampshade, a pocket for the pet ferrets, a folding chair, a whiteboard and the Statue of Liberty. (This was a joke, right?) Being a rather small-sized person, I'm marvelling at how anyone could carry this much stuff without toppling over. But if you have plans, do post! I'm thinking there might be a market for Geek quilts with pockets, so people could take all this crap to beddy-bye.
It was a little-bitty story near the bottom of the news page in the "Careers" section. The hurricane was the top story. I've never seen the Careers story featured as the top story of the day. But then, Monday morning is usually pretty slow for news.
It's beautiful. Just like the sun till you get too close.
I didn't know there was a soft drink called White Lightnin'. I was thinking about the beverage Merle Haggard sang about in Okie from Muskogee, the same kind Robert Mitchum ran in Thunder Road. I think Mitchum sang the Ballad, too. I just remember white lighnin' and mountain dew being euphemisms for moonshine whiskey. There's a silly song about mountain dew that's innocuous enough for kids to sing as a campfire song. I thought the hillbilly ad campaign was pretty corny; it's remarkable that they've been able to reposition it as something that people who consider themselves cool would even consider drinking. (It's not too bad with Cruzan's Pineapple Rum)
Code Red sounds like something to get really worrried about, lights flashing, panic buttons being pushed, sirens going off, while Sircam sounds like another aging British rock star.
What is it the Mutant Community has to hide, I wonder, that makes them so afraid to identify themselves.
Man, you must be older'n God if you can remember when Mountain Dew had the hillbilly ad campaign, positioning itself as some kind of White Lightnin'. When I tried to describe it to my friends, they thought I was hallucinating. Maybe they'll bring it back with some kind of tie-in with that other Yahoo. Haven't had a chance to try Code Red yet. I judge most liquids on how well they mix with rum.
Can you think of a better marketing ploy to make your soft drink sound hip and edgy and get the name plastered all over the media? This could be even better for free publicity and name recognition than the Verizon strike.
...is another man's evil cult. Imagine if the Chinese see some athletes stretching or doing sports visualization/meditation, and mistake them for members of Falun Gong?
AP reports that Hasbro Inc. lost $18.3 million in the second quarter, triggered by weak sales of Pokemon and Furbys. But not to worry, they've got strong pre-orders for the Harry Potter trading card games, to be launched in London on Aug. 7, and expect strong sales from products based "Jurassic Park 3" film (don't count on Katz ordering the t-shirt or the action figures).

Ok, so it was flamebait, but it WAS funny.

Would someone please just let this poor guy go home to his wife and kids and sort this all out later?

All right, all together now, in case there's someone on the planet who hasn't heard this:
Preacher Ben despite adversity
Saved a Southern university
His nephew said, "Now ain't that nice,
Uncle Ben's converted Rice."
Is that like the backwards R in Toys-R-Us? (toys-yah-russ?)
Imagine how much gear federal judges could be carrying around under those black robes.

Definitely sounds like a challenge

How come there's no copy editor Barbie Doll?
Maybe Katz (no relation) was thinking of Gwyneth Paltrow in Emma, the Jane Austen novel on which Clueless was based.
BTW, Reese Witherspoon stole the show in her 1991 film debut, The Man in the Moon.
