Along these lines, find Scott Adams's relevant books (The Dilbert Principle, The Way of the Weasel, etc.) That should give you some ideas of, if not what to do, then what not to do, and what to look out for: how to detect weasels, and insanely stupid management polices to look out for (the soda thing is a great example).

I don't't think so. The case in question was in Australia. This case is in the US. If this was a jury trial I could see the Australian case used in an attempt to sway the jury. However, I doubt that using the Australian case with the current suit will fly in court.
Ditto. You know, if/. is taking game reviews now, I should seriously consider writing up a review of "Def Jam: Fight for NY." (My opinion in short: Good fighting system, good controls and match types, but lack of online multi-player and custom soundtracks for the X-Box version cause problems).
Well, if you've got the X-Box version, you can rip music to the hard drive and use custom soundtracks while playing instead of having to put up with the default soundtracks.
I don't get cable or sattelite. As it is, I still enjoy CSI. Accuracy to procedure aside, they still do a good story, and the acting is better then many of the other shows that are on Network Television.
Frankly, every fiction TV show and movie that has picture enhancement of video from anything has pulled this conceit. The list of series and movies that haven't done this will definatly be much, much, shorter than the series that have.
Where such shows deviate from reality is the unrealistic speed at which the actors are able to identify, apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators.
Frankly, I don't care. I don't care that in reality it would take 3-4 months to get the DNA processed because of the massive queue of other cases that need DNA processed. I don't care that real-live CSIs would never, ever, ever see a suspect or a crime scene. You can't really do a series that way. I don't have cable or sattellite so I haven't seen the show, but I doubt that even New Detectives goes without showing the suspects.
I like have interesting characters, I like a good story. That's I still read Agatha Christie novels and watch the Poirot mysteries, even though Christie cheated on a regular basis.
Hey! I don't remember Quincy and I'm over 15. I'm 19!
Actually, I do remember Quincy, albiet from reruns. Same way I remember M*A*S*H

Unfair comparison. The whole time issue is all based on pacing. The big time-waster when it comes to forensics is DNA analysis, as that department is generally the department that gets it in the pants when it comes to the budget.
I wasn't even born yet. As for forensics in television, the only show I've known about was CSI (well, Law and Order did a little forensics stuff, but not to the degree of detail that CSI goes into).

Do you have a better one-word term for non-geeks?

Oh, I do understand that. I just find watching baseball, in general, insanely boring (this latest World Series being the exception.)
That depends on whether you're playing X-Box Live.
Does anyone else find it sad that playing baseball in a videogame is more interesting then watching people play baseball?
I believe the press release could best be translated as, "In your face, EA!"

It's a RPG and it's Star Wars. Real Geeks don't play Racing Games.

You didn't? Sheesh. All the cool kids new all about the inner workings of a car when they were 4.
It's almost sad that I know this.
Murder on the Orient Express for starters.

Though, in all honesty, CSI was not the first to do this. IIRC, "Blade Runner" did something like this with the photography enhancement scene.

You mean "Crossing Jordan"?

Sorry about that. I was going to but I was in a rush. Mia culpa.
