I apologize in advance to all those readers who have ties to the Lone Star State, but only in Texas would a woman get busted for possession of sex toys. Not possession of narcotics, or an open container of alcohol or even an illegal alien. Instead, Kathleen Elizabeth "Kathy" Grubbs of Longview, Texas was charged with obscenity for intent to promote "objects defined in a dictionary as having the shape and often the appearance of the male genitalia, used in sexual stimulation."
According to a Nov. 21 article in the Longview News-Journal, Grubbs, having been pulled over for driving erratically, had 17 "obscene materials and obscene devices" in her car, a felony under Texas state law. The law states that anyone possessing more than six "obscene" items at a time has intent to promote said items. This is apparently a big no-no in Texas, where there have been raids on various adult bookstores in recent months.
Grubbs, a distributor for Slumber Parties Inc., called the charges "kind of ridiculous."
No. The point in having trusted binaries it to stop piracy so MSFT (and others) do not have to worry about people using their software with out a license. How else do you expect them to continue to grow their revenue each quarter?
The Wal-Mart's in the following Texas cities carry MtG - Kilgore, and Longview. I do not know if any of the other Wal-Mart's in the East Texas area carry MtG.
This next record is dedicated to some personal friends of mine, the LAPD. For every cop that has ever taken advantage of somebody, beat 'em down or hurt 'em, because they got long hair, listen to the wrong kinda music, wrong color, whatever they thought was the reason to do it. For every one of those fuckin' police, I'd like to take a pig out here in this parkin' lot and shoot 'em in their mothafuckin' face.

The lady tried to get McDonald's to pay her medical bills. They said no. Then, when it went to court, the judge and/or jury punished McDonald's by an amount equal to ones days sale of coffee.
That would be the same law that the Bell's almost complety wrote?
The Bells got $$$ in their eyes thinking about all the money they could make in the LD market. But, opps, the price per minute for LD fell thru the floor.

Because this is /. and the kill your account if you read the articles before you post.
I would react in proportion to the number of users effected and the nature of the uses that are effected. DeCSS users would lose big on both counts.
Doesn't sound so good when it hurts something you support, now does it?
I voted on issues in 2000. I voted for what I thought was a conservative Republican who was for smaller, less intrusive goverment.
Looks like I thought wrong.
Just use perl.

When the ACLU begins to defend all of the Bill of Rights, then I will donate to them.
He speaks the truth! For the dead that vote have great magical powers that we normal mortals do not!
Posters and mods on /. complaining about slant and bias in an artice...
In this case you can.
Just pass a law that says that goverments that receive money from the feds for elections have to use voting systems which have opened their code.

What about the goverment of the United States?
WHY is it ok to publish info on making bombs on paper but wrong to publish the same info online?

Never read Ask Slashdot have you?
Then buy a T1.
Slashdot has a huge following. So does NSync, B Spears, and Moby. That doesn't mean that they are GOOD. It means they have a huge following.
