    It added Mission play, and it also added star ratings to each of the Grand Prix, which means that just winning it isn't good enough for most people. The squid thing is pretty revolutionary in that you can't do that on a multiplayer home console, covering up the entire screen with ink. I think people would've complained if the playing mechanics were changed too much, so adding online play, mission play and star ratings actually gave it more replayability than I would've had on Double Dash which I haven't touched in a while.

  6. Re:OT: Lawschool Opinion on Is Wi-Fi Ruining College? · · Score: 1

    Lawschool is not that hard, but the grade curve is brutal if going to a lower tier school, and since most tests are done in essay form, grading sometimes feels pretty random. So you might find out although you think you understand everything about the law, during test time you don't do so hot. To make this post more on topic. The classes I surfed the web the most, I did better in, whereas, classes I spent time raising my hand and participating, I did the worse. So take that for what it's worth.

  8. Re: Same at Vanderbilt Law on Is Wi-Fi Ruining College? · · Score: 1

    Looking up case law and how it applies is generally more helpful than learning what happened in 1600s England common law about something that has nothing to do with the law of today. Also certain case books are outdated by the time you take the class. One of these classes are the intellectual property classes, so when the teacher lectures you, its actually more beneficial to ignore them and read slashdot. That's what I did in class. I didn't do very well gradewise, but I then again I didn't have to unlearn all the bad law that was taught to me.

    In certain countries, Korea and I think Japan for example, one can be a lawyer without going to law school. I believe that currently there isn't an equivalent to a JD in Korea, although I think it's going to change in the next few years.

    People have been using movie terms for a long time. After snow white, little persons were called dwarves, when Wizard of Oz came out, they were called munchkins, after Wonka movie, Ooompa Loompas. I'm sure in a few years, some other term will become popular with the masses.

    Children enter school in February, not September like in the states. Also Koreans add one year to their age. So this kid is actually 7 and almost 8 at the time of the article. It states that he was born November 1997. And age 8 is when Koreans start mandatory schooling. However some kids start school before this mandatory start period.
