Sure the experiment could be conducted clasically, but that is no fun. Here is the easy way to do it with quantum mechanics. Use a half-silvered mirror to split a single photon's wave function into two "pulses." Send them in opposite directions, one to me and one to you. I measure my pulse at time T. You know what happened? I got the photon. But wait, you measured your pulse 50 microseconds before time T. I bet you didn't get the photon. You know why? I must have caused it to not be on your side in the past because it was on my side in the future. Spooky.
The decision is binding precedent in the 9th Circuit (many Western states, including California), unless more judges, or the Supreme Court, get together to overrule it.
See Roundy v. Commissioner, 122 F.3d 835, 837 (9th Cir. 1997) ("A three-judge panel is bound by a prior judgment of this court unless the case is taken en banc and the prior decision is overruled.")

Companies sometimes want URLs to be used like phone numbers and sometimes not, depending on their own interests.
When Nissan Motors wants the rights to http://www.nissan.com [Nissan Computer Corp.], it argues that the URLs are like trademarks that people should be able to type in.
When Intentia says it was hacked, it argues that URLs should not be typed in.

Two independent sources have now recounted this story. That should quell any doubts about its truth.
