    Courts define the constitution and the law--remember Marbury v. Madison. How did they get that power? They interpreted it. Why can they interpret it? It's their power. How did they get that power? (STACK OVERFLOW)

    If you call a game "Life & Death" in Japan, won't they think you're talking about Go? Though considering that a PC can't play decent Go, I guess a portable would be pretty awful :)

    Saying that being against piracy is being against sharing is exactly the same sort of BS that organizations like the RIAA use.

    No...the cool kid gets to like to nerdy girl, but then she learns it was a joke and blows him off. But then realizes how shallow he was and turns a new leaf and gets her back. Also he breaks up with his stupid cool friends who get totally burned for being stupid. Also it turns out the nerdy girl is hot but nobody realized because somehow movie stars are only hot if they aren't wearning glasses.

    Using vim to mark the console as insecure in /etc/ttys is hardly "commercial" :)
    Better yet, use OpenFirmware protection (which is really a must-have for schools imo).

  22. Re:Cable/Satilite on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    The networks supposedly don't enjoy 1st amendment rights because the airwaves belong to "the people," so it's not really violating their rights. Now it sets a precedent that the government can regulate media--they are making a farce of the very idea of free speech. I consider the justification for regulating the airwaves tenuous, but at least they only get away with it because they have such a rationalization. If they touch cable at all, it is censorship, pure and simple.

  23. Re:sources on Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales Responds · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia isn't great to cite as a source, but frankly, neither is Encyclopedia Britannica. Wikipedia should list more references, because if one is doing research it's better to track down those sources than to cite an encyclopedia.

    The transducer for all three is the same, part no. 49294. I spoke with a bit too little qualification as there are other subtle differences such as in the acoustic chamber between 580/600 and 650, but still not the sort of thing most sane people would plunk down an extra hundred bucks or so for :)

  25. Re:Old News Indeed on How Much Are You Paying For Electronics Labels? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't count on it, though sometimes this is explicitly the case. For example, Sennheiser makes three models of headphones, HD-580, HD-600, and HD-650 which are all essentially the same but with more QC in the higher models. Theoretically, HD-580 cans could sound as good as HD-650's, but the HD-650's are guaranteed to sound the best. But this is all one brand, and a situation where the company isn't lying--probably not the norm.
