The police don't care if it's not a real rifle, the same as they wouldn't care if you aimed a realistic looking squirtgun at someone on the highway.
Very true. Most states use the "resonable person" test for this. If the reasonable person would think that it's a weapon, then it is prosecuted as such. This is why guys who stick up 7-11s with toy guns still get still get charged with armed robbery.
An alternative solution is to design a virtual environment simulator that will make ground squirrels and Madagascan fat-tailed dwarf lemurs believe they are jumping across tree branches, when in fact they are piloting an interstellar spaceships.

It is the willful and public breaking (hence illegal) of an unjust law, in the hopes of receiving the corresponding punishment, as a means of protesting that law.
In a country that has no problem jailing more of its citizens than any other nation, it seems like going to prison in protest doesn't really inconvenience anyone in power.
It's very clear from the article that the MPAA committed outright fraud and lied to the FBI.
The "article" is nothing more than a statement on his website, not a journalistic piece. Portions of the site on Archive.org show he was serving episodes of the show. Funny how he neglected to mention that detail while spanging his cup for his legal fund.
They also abused laws and I would not be surprised if they were the ones that damaged the equipment.
I'm sure they did. Why nick this guy just for copyright infringement when they can scour the computers inside and out for evidence of other crimes? If they find kiddie porn on the HD or a sack of substance du jour tucked away in the expansion bay for safekeeping, they own his ass 'til the day he dies.
Yes and it cost this country trillions of dollars. After all, it's not cheap to send a guy up each morning and night to take down and put up the flag in accordance with flag display etiquette.
Atari was going to put out a similar device for their 2600 way back when
That doesn't compare to the disappointment of finding out that feeding pictures of models into your printer, hooking up a Barbie to jumpercables and waiting for an electrical storm with a bra on your head to make Kelly LeBrock emerge from your bedroom closet was bunk too.
Many of the campuses are inching away from the SUNY moniker. When I was a freshman there, SUNY Plattsburgh magically became Plattsburgh State University.
If our culture is headed down the path of having high esteem for people who appear and do successfully on game shows--boy are we screwed.
This isn't an outback-jack-who-wants-to-marry-a-midget-bachelor type of televised retardation that the reality shows are. You can't fake Jeopardy; either you know it and you're fast enough on the buzzer or you're dead in the water.
Finally someone revered on a gameshow for their mind, not their boobs or conniving.

those future scientists will have to figure out how to cure DEATH before they even think about getting to what ails you!
Before that, they have to find a cure for freezer burn.

Those Indian cats really know how to program!
No wonder why America continues to fall behind; Indian cats can program, American cats continue to crap in boxes and sleep all day.
The only argument that you could make against Real is to support the DMCA.
IIRC, there is a clause in the DMCA explicitly allowing reverse engineering with the intent of inter-operatability.

Whether copyrights, previously litigated, should be a matter for door-kicking-in police/feds, is an issue that needs to be revisited.
Having the feds raid and plunder your house vs. being taken for every penny you've got in court doesn't sound like much of a choice to me.
No in-room coffee maker need either. Just place your cup on the ground for a minute. Voila!
Submit something interesting you lazy sods!
You don't hate Jerry Mathers, do you....?
that robots are being made wimpy like this.
What an embarrassment to the robot community to go from finding Sarah Connor to finding some twits copy of The Cat in the Hat.
With Tivos recommending viewing feature, I'm surprised it didn't recommend, based on viewing habits, some other tits you might like.

You should be ok as long as you don't eat the cow drive and wash it down with a glass of milk.

I suddenly have a mental image of a Mexican criminal trying to get into a government installation carrying an arm...
If he doesn't get in there, he can just go to a convenience store to commit an "armed" robbery.
I expect to see a better job on these hedges or its back to Hidalgo with you, Mr. Attorney-General.
The thought of Russian kids having "fun" on these creepy old bland games just kinda chilled my spine for some reason.
Considering their arcade machines were really apple crates with pictures of Fess Parker inside, I'd be creeped out too.
You're thinking of Quiz Show.

Seems like a good case for "the pen is mightier"
I'd say. They actually let you bring your penis mightier to work?
I'm more worried about the assembly robots revolting and attacking the population!
It's ok as long as you keep old people's medicine out of their reach.
By that logic, the next car that rolls off the assembly line when the numbers are exhausted will be a Baker Electric.
