  1. Re:My God on UN To Debate Taxing Internet Data · · Score: 4, Informative

    Except that this isn't coming from the politicians...the proposal is the brainchild of European telecom companies, who are looking to make a cash grab because their uses are getting to high bandwidth US sites. Of course, I am amused how secret ITU treaty negotiations are bad when they negatively affect US companies, but how secret ACTA treaty negotiations are good when they protect US companies...

  2. Re:BRAVO! on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 1

    The general policy for the Alamo is no children under 6 (except on special days or sometimes for G rated movies), children over 6 only with a parent or guardian (who must sit with them), and families with loud children will be asked to leave. And they serve beer. What more do you want for a movie experience as an adult?

  3. Re:Time to leave California on California Assembly Approves Internet Tax · · Score: 1

    Except that the Texas Legislature passed in its recently concluded regular session pretty much exactly the same law (House Bill 2403). The governor vetoed it, but the Legislature is looking at either attempting to override the veto (which they probably would easily do, given the margins the bill passed by, if they are allowed to do so in a special session), or sticking it into the overall budget bill in the special session (which they've already done).

  4. Re:the short answer on Rewriting a Software Product After Quitting a Job? · · Score: 1

    Actually, 49 forks. Louisiana law is based on Code Napoleon, not English common law...

  5. Re:People on Supreme Court Holds Right to Bear Arms Applies to Individuals · · Score: 1

    Yeah, pretty much white males over 21. Your point?

  6. Re:Jurisdiction in Virtual Worlds on Second Life Shuts Down Gambling · · Score: 1

    Probably end up like Texas computer crime law...under the penal code here, the venue for a computer crime is the residence of the criminal, the victim, or any county through which the communication passed...
