They're blaming nutbag teatards like you because of things like GIffords being threatened for voting for the so-called "Obamacare" bill (Palin even went so far as to post a map with gun targets over her and other congresscritters who voted for it). And give up on the whole "ACORN" thing. It was a fucking bunch of community organizers, not some brownshirts. It's amazing how two corporate run and controlled parties can jockey for support by forcing wedge issues into the forefront while still steadily increasing the income and wage disparity to epic new levels.... your stupid teabagger "movement", as contrived and astroturfed by morons like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin (and even that Rand Paul asshole), is just another way of shoring up more money for the wealthy. Societies are still judged by how they treat their least fortunate, and in that way, we fail. Epically.
I dealt roulette for three years. I could nail within 3 to 5 in the section I was aiming for (meaning i'd look for a section of numbers on the table to drop the ball in to run off strokes that bought in for 100 and spread it everywhere so that I had to clean it up, pay out a few hits, then clean it up, lather, rinse, repeat).

The six million dollar man was not available in the US until recently. So instead of a Bit-torrent download, I now have the complete Time Life set.
I wanted a legit copy for a long time, but I wasn't allowed to have one for decades. I don't download warez or songs, but if the industry is going to have its collective head up its ass when it comes to releasing stuff to NetFlix or DVD, then frankly it deserves to lose revenue to others that aren't like me and are just happy getting it from torrent.

Illinois's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Illinois makes it a crime to use an "eavesdropping device" to overhear or record a phone call or conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation. The law defines an "eavesdropping device" as "any device capable of being used to hear or record oral conversation or intercept, retain, or transcribe electronic communication whether such conversation or electronic communication is conducted in person, by telephone, or by any other means.
I thank you for the link, but the above from your link supports my assertion.
At least 24 states have laws outlawing certain uses of hidden cameras in private places, although many of the laws are specifically limited to attempts to record nudity. Also, many of the statutes concern unattended hidden cameras, not cameras hidden on a person engaged in a conversation. Journalists should be aware, however, that the audio portion of a videotape will be treated under the regular wiretapping laws in any state. And regardless of whether a state has a criminal law regarding cameras, undercover recording in a private place can prompt civil lawsuits for invasion of privacy.
Bold added for emphasis.
So in some states this device could be a problem, especially if talking to an officer of the law, as there was a case brought against a person for recording the officer that showed up to his front door.
But many other states have similar injunctions, and allow for civil action against the recording individual. And, there is a caveat that all audio portion of the recording can or does fall under the wiretapping laws of the state.
In Illinois, it is against the law to record a conversation without consent of the other party.
How will this device work then? Do you have to advertise that you are recording? Is there an easy shut off button? Can this evidence even be used if the opponent/perp/officer starts off the defense with "He did not have permission to record" ?

I played both fallout 1 and 2 when they were new.
I still say fallout 3 is far better.
If it helps, I still play X-Com.
Good Sequels: Mass Effect 2, Starcraft 2, Thief 3
Bad Sequels: Deus Ex 2, Fallout 3 (though Fallout: New Vegas is on the good-ish side)
Fallout 3 is fantastic. much better than fallout 1 and 2
Starcraft 2 I won't purchase until I can do Lan play at home without online servers - so massive fail for the sequel.

I fail to see how it's a foreign policy achievement. I see it more as a "He was against it before he was for it!" .

Why should they? Perhaps to prove thet are a reputable company that listens to its customer base and learns from their mistakes?

A large portion of RIAA's and MPAA's distributors rely on people buying copy after copy of the same media as it gets damaged or lost.
Having a protected copy to hand down over 5 generations will SERIOUSLY cut into that profit margin.
