Don't even write a story about it. THe crime itself is a "performance" and any depictions of it are unauthorized infringements on your intellectual property.

Wind Waker definitely brought that feeling back for me. Especially given the cartoony graphics. Despite its flaws, that game felt amazing.

LttP or OoT probably would have, except I didn't play them until a long time after they came out (OoT on Gamecube and LttP on Wii Virtual Console).

Mod up. Lessig would be a great Slashdot interview.

Yes!!! I have tremendous respect for Nate Silver for all he did in the 2008 elections to explain polling and statistical modeling, and for holding polling agencies accountable for their results.

A constitutional amendment requiring public funding of all federal elections.

How about interviewing Lawrence Lessig on this topic?

This is the main reason I still have a dumbphone. At normal use (a few texts and calls per day) with the bluetooth off I charge it once a week.

Metamoderate more often. When I metamoderate, I usually get about 15 +1/Likes the next day.

While this is more or less true, "self correcting" is a euphemism for all sorts of nastiness that most people who aren't sociopaths aren't willing to just passively allow. What you call "correcting," I call "living in a dystopian shithole that could have been avoided."

"Like spell check."

That's a really good analogy for how it should be used.

What's bad design is to make a game that requires using the buttons and the touchscreen at the same time. DS games generally require one or the other, but not both.

(A lot of people said the same thing, but replying to you because you're the non-AC).

A B.A. in philosophy + a J.D. is a common combination of degrees. Philosophy is increasingly becoming the undergrad foundation for graduate studies in Law. It's like being a premed major, which doesn't qualify you to do much of anything except go to med school.

Could it be argued that the tattoo is a "work for hire" and Tyson, as the client who commissioned it, owns it?

When i picture an "american hunter" i picture a middle aged overweight guy in flannel. Not exactly the most swift or agile type of human out there.

I don't know how many hunters you actually know, but all the ones I know could probably make it out there. Flannel: definitely. Overweight: a little, some of them. Not swift or agile: WTF? The hunters I know don't spend their days sitting in an office chair typing code all day; they carry heavy shit up scaffolding onto roofs, or lug spools of cable into basements and pull it through walls all day, or walk with surveying gear for miles every single day. Physically, they're all in good shape.

If there were a zombie infestation, their biggest liability would be lack of sufficient imagination because, unlike a lot of us Slashdotters, they never liked sci-fi even as kids and stopped playing pretend a long time ago.

I believe I may have seen once in a special feature on a Stargate DVD that they are convenient in how they fire. The casings fall straight down as opposed to off to the side. If they go to the side the other actors can be hit with them and I guess that just doesn't look as good.

That was pretty much it. Without the shell casings flying at their faces, they could stand the actors closer to one another, which is helpful for framing shots for television.

I have a rev-b G5 iMac in my office now, which is exactly 6 years old this month. It runs iTunes 9 fine (well, as well as iTunes 9 runs on anything; I don't use it at work for anything). I don't know which version of Safari is on there. I'd meant to wipe and and reinstall to upgrade to Leopard, but never bothered. Still chugging along fine.
