  1. No Music in the Summer. What's up with that? on Napster - Music Subsciptions Are Overrated · · Score: 1

    "The company says that last drop was expected, because kids stop using the service during the summer. "

  2. Re:What's so special about that press card? on Blogger Wins 1.5 Year Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    What differentiates a "press pass" from a piece of paper I printed out on my home inkjet that says Press Pass and lists my publication? In other words, who gets to decide whether or not I am conveniently a member of the press?


    What ever group issues the pass. There is no such thing as a federal press pass.

    The US laws limiting the sale of "weapons" aren't really designed to protect the the people of other countries they are to protect the US. If that wasn't the case it would be against the law to export fast food.
