  1. Regulations are often made in this manner on Next Year's Laws, Now Out In Beta! · · Score: 1

    Many jurisdictions utilize some form of agency regulations to expound upon statutes that are passed by legislatures. Therefore, ambiguity in the statutory text can be resolved when an agency makes a decision one way or the other. Additionally, a large number of regulations, at least in the federal arena, are written using a "notice and comment" procedure, which allows an agency to issue a draft and receive public feedback regarding, among other things, these types of interpretive problems. The agency can then choose to address these comments before issuing a final regulation.

  2. obligatory Chris Rock quote on Taiwan Breeds Transgenic, Fluorescent Green Pigs · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Don't eat no red meat? No, don't eat no green meat."

  3. Similar Product on SliMP3 Successor; Radio Station in a Box · · Score: 1

    cd3o has had a similar product with wifi capabilities on the market for a little while now. Also features a neat text-to-speech option so you can have it speak the artist, title, etc. to you.

  4. Re:Theres an industry turn around for you on Apple Makes no Profit from iTunes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The difference between other industries is that software by nature seems too easily distributed illegally, and therefore without revenue. It's not like physical consumables which aren't duplicated/shared by the consumer.

  5. Re:Which would be worse... on The Big Kerplop · · Score: 1

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    J.K. Rowling may not provide any explanation for how her magic works, but it seems consistent and rational enough to make predictions and test them. Isn't that the basis of the scientific method?

  6. Re:What is it meant to say about the cars? on 606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad · · Score: 1

    The ad has a few moments where it shows off some of the car's features (sound system, auto sensing wipers, power tail gate, etc). Admittedly none of these features are unique to the accord, but it's not as esoteric as you make it out to be.

  7. Re:Be gentle with me. on Lord of the Rings Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    Speaking of award winning trilogies, one that I've never seen mentioned as a possible film conversion is the Foundation series by Asimov.

    Probably had something to do with the lack of a central character/actor (book jumps around a lot in time), but I always thought it would be awesome to see.

  8. More emphasis on Seybold? on Apple Cancels Apple Expo 2001 · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this means that any other announcements (MacOS 10.1 intro) that were slated for AppleExpo will be held at Seybold in SF instead. It's also possible that they may have a special coming out party, like they did for the original iMac.
