This article reminds me of one from 2003 here in Illinois. There was a school district that got sued by a group of parents in Oak Park over the school installing WiFi, claiming a large body of evidence linking exposure to WiFi microwaves and human health.

It went more or less unpunished because South Park is on a cable TV network, not broadcast TV. The 6am - 10pm decency rules don't apply to cable or satellite television broadcasts.
I believe it means that the eclipse in total lasts from before 9 to after 11, but the moon is only completely obscured for about an hour.
Dunno. Makes more sense to me that way.
The scripts would only see if domains were available, leaving it up to the squatters to rush and try to register all the spam queries and eat $.20 for each one.
Essentially, people see squatters use their queries to snipe domains.
If the snipe costs $.20, then people hurt the squatters by scripting queries, and if the squatters are still blindly sniping, they eat a lot of cost.
The scripts aren't registering anything, just trying to trick the squatters into registering and eating the fee.
That's why I skipped the pdfs. The comments linked in the summary were pretty interesting, particularly those by Igor and the last big one (Mike I think?)
Should at least give those a read.
I judge new games against the $9.99 I paid for The Bouncer by Squaresoft.
I figure, if a $9.99 game lasts 2 hours, then getting 4 out of Portal would be ok.
With all these electric only cars on the horizon, what will hollywood use to explain the ease of exploding cars? Not that gasoline is so spontaneously explosive as they'd have people believe, but I'd imagine Li-Ion batteries would be even less so.
How will they sell movie tickets if everyone becomes aware that cars wont explode from a couple bullets?
I doubt the record companies would expend the effort to produce the clean edits of the CDs if WalMart did not refuse to sell the originals though.
It has to cost a lot of money to make clean edits, but it must cost a lot more to have zero record sales at WalMart.
Costwise, it makes zero sense to produce clean edits yourself just to do so unless compelled to for a reason like WalMart refusing to sell explicit lyrics. Radio is really the only other venue that would be interested in such a thing, but they'd more likely do the edits themselves.
Makes sense; as we closer approach realistic graphics and physics, the demand for hardware advances in those areas will decrease because there is less room to grow.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease, and once hardware is able to render reality realistically, there's no need to improve it until some other facet of ultra-realism is discovered to implement.
He didn't even really have anything to do with Plumbing at first. He was supposed to be a carpenter I think in donkey kong, and was called Jumpman.
They named him Mario after the landlord of their New York Nintendo of America office building because he looked similar.

With very easy to find hacks, Tomb Raider can be topless.. Why didn't they rerate that game AO? I would have been happy to see that entire franchise go DOA.
Like Halo2. Like Oblivion. Like GTA:SA...
Including the HD-DVD drive would also drive the cost of the 360 up, driving up the retail price, and turning off potential purchasers with the new, higher, price tag.
They'd rather keep it separate, so the price of the HD-DVD drive doesn't overshadow these potential purchases.
That's likely what was meant by limiting the user's experience.
To someone who would be buying a 360 either way, it wouldn't limit something. But for someone who didn't have that extra $150 or whatever to spend, having no choice to not get HD-DVD limits their choices.
But due to the nature of the suit's claim of bandwidth throttling bittorrent, what would you have to sign for to recieve member status in the class action suit?
Sign something saying that during such and such a timeframe, you were engaged in stealing music/movies/games/porn using bittorrent, and Comcast's throttling of bittorrent or cancellation of your account for excessive bandwidth consumption negatively impacted your illicit activities?
Who is the class going to be? The 5 legitimate torrent users who also happened to use Comcast?
Lol I remember the interactor, came out around the time of the u r not e (red colored e) PSX ad campaign. I still have one in my basement somewhere. Never really worked like they said so I was pretty disappointed with it just translating any sound into rumble. But I guess that is really all it could have done given what it was working with console wise.
Unless I know I'm going to have to open a document at school in one of the labs where they forced everyone to Office 2007, I don't bother changing the file format OO.o saves as. Whether that's odf or some other format I don't really know.
But for me, as long as I can open it I don't bother to look and see how it was saved unless I know I need it a certain way, in which case I can just save as.
Wii sports was not included with the console in Japan, so it has not necessarily outsold all xbox360 games by the virtue of wii sales alone. That's not to say it probably hasn't outsold all xbox360 games though.
Don't forget lawyer fees paid by the loser. Maybe not strictly required, but perhaps that figured into the damage award, since her trial probably cost the riaa more than the actual music. Still sucks for her though, left with a $222k bill + her lawyer fees:/ Talk about garnished wages for life if she doesn't launch an amazing career or something.
Most jurors probably are not aware of jury nullification, and no judge or prosecutor is going to go out of their way to tell them about it.
Imagine:
Judge: Instruction number 1: Stealing music is against the law. Please determine the defendant's guilt or innocence. By the way, even though theft is illegal, if you, as a jury, disagree with this law, you have the right to throw it out by means of jury nullification. After all, it was just music. Ok, please go deliberate.
When picking jurors, both the plaintiff and defendant's lawyers ask questions of each prospective juror and can dismiss them essentially at will. The plaintiffs case depends on law; so it is not in their interest to allow anyone onto the jury who knows that the jury can essentially overturn some kinds of laws.
If they know that a juror knows about nullification, they would likely dismiss them, rather than risk a nullification that would set an unfavorable precedent.
Yep, it's like the old adage; locks keep honest people honest.
Implication being someone with criminal intent to defeat the lock will do so, everyone else is deterred.

Come to dekalb IL, the walmart supercenter here had 3 on shelf when I was grocery shopping there on saturday.
The term includes all sexual acts other than coital sex between a male and female.

S&M however entails all the whips, chains, ropes, candle wax, gimp suits, and all that other weird stuff. A subclass of Sodomy you could say.

Except that if any of the jurors knew about jury nullification, they would have been dismissed prior to being accepted as jurors.
The counselor is one of the parties seeking damages actually, so the current depth of his or her pockets is not in question.
