    There's a reason Sega didn't make a stereoscopic visor set in the 80s, pal. I suggest you actually PAY ATTENTION TO HISTORY instead of simply ignoring it.

    Nintendo and Sony ignored Sega's prior attempts at enhanced gaming peripherals, now they're having to put warnings all over their 3D-capable devices.

    You really need a new education, the one provided to you is absolute shit.

    "it can't make a new one"

    This isn't entirely true. There is case law, which is part of stare decisis. The Judicial branch can not only effectively make a new law (revoking the old one as unconstitutional during the course of a legal procedure,) it can nullify or amend that law via judicial decisions or precedent.

    Despite it saying 180, the math of the numbers it initially gives works out to 181.

    This thing, plain and simple, is not giving a 100% correct answer on what it displays.

    "If you get busted for manufacturing drugs inside a rental unit, the court does not take the rental unit away from you, because you do not own it. "

    Wrong. I suggest you look up court cases involving Tenant's rights that have explicitly stated that for the duration of the rental agreement, you are considered the owner of the property. Without ownership, you have no rights.

    I'm dealing with this RIGHT NOW in court - Moreno Valley, CA, case number MVC1103499 if you care to look it up, Mr. I-Think-I-Know-Better than someone that stomped EA's nuts into the ground over Spore DRM.

    No, you have a right to privacy in multiple situations, otherwise you couldn't sue other people in civil court for violating your privacy.

    Example: Tenant's rights. Landlords are required to give you 24 hour notice before showing up on the property, excepting emergencies that pose immediate threat to the property (such as a busted water line.) To arrive without notice is not only a violation of your privacy but it also constitutes trespassing. Also, if said landlord arrives without notice, and other people are with him, those people are also guilty of violation of privacy and trespassing.

    I'm dealing with this right now against my landlord - MVC1103499 is the California Case number in Moreno Valley Court System, if you wish to look it up. I haven't been served any further papers in a while so it's likely the judge dismissed the landlord's case against me outright given my evidence - I'm still waiting for the paperwork to show.

    "Renting does not mean you own it."

    For all intents and purposes of criminal proceedings, yes, you do. If you are renting an apartment, and you are busted manufacturing drugs, you are considered the owner of the property, not the apartment complex. You lose your rental contract, the apartment complex gets its stuff back (unless it's proven that the apartment complex rented it out with the knowledge that you were going to do something illegal in it in the first place, then they lose their stuff too.)

    Same should theoretically apply here.
