Oh, the nostalgia. I also built quite a few kits, including a Dolby ProLogic decoder that's still in use today...

They are the Honey Badgers of GameStops.

The really really funny part is that this OnLive coupon appears to have been included only in copies shipped to GameStop, and as far as I know can't be found in any other retail version.

Steve Marks has been RIAA's legal puppet for a looong time, he must be doing something "right". I remember writing nasty letters to him back in the day, just for sport; he's an arrogant prick and I hope he's proven wrong.

Poor sound in live recordings is almost always due to the shitty mix that includes all the audience noise and some omni stage mikes to get that 'live' sound. Direct soundboard recordings can sound very good.

The reason bags are searched and people patted down at concerts, sports events, etc. has less to do with actual security than it does with liability of the venue. If something were to go down, they have legal standing for claiming they were not negligent and did 'everything they could to prevent incident'.

I have been doing exactly that for years, and I always urge anyone that will listen to me to do the same. It's an easy thing to do, it certainly can't make matters worse and if enough people start doing it, will send a clear message to politicians that they have an expiration date and should therefore make their time in office count for something other than themselves.

As if a quick pat and peek will prevent anyone from concealing a weapon if they were determined enough?

I think it would return them to the idea that politics is not a career, but a temporary public service.

Interesting theory, and it makes some sense given the timing and pricing. If BBY pays AAPL per subscriber with minimal upfront costs then it's almost no risk.

Not mine by choice, but none of this should come as a surprise to anyone that's been awake in class. Tax dollars have been used to purchase access to commercial databases for their data mining pleasure for years now. A complicit Supreme Court allows them to go onto private property to plant tracking devices on vehicles, ISP's and telco's roll over and provide whatever they ask (for a fee, of course), and the list goes on. The new handbook codifies everything they've already been doing, just to create a more favorable legal footing when challenged in court.

"The authorization process noted by the FAA allows the operator to use iPad and the Jeppesen Mobile TC App as the sole reference for electronic charts, even during taxi, takeoff and landing. "

Won't someone think about the children? Really, I'm not kidding. People create other people for a variety of reasons, but nobody really considers the ramifications of their actions, they just want a 'family'. If you were able to prove to someone their children would have a substantially lower standard of life than they enjoy right now, do you really think that would stop them?

Within reason, sure. I don't expect a teardown of an F35 to be posted to youtube, but I do remember the days when reporters were able to film and actually, you know, report on the goings-on in war zones.

Public employees' work should be transparent to the people that pay their salaries, period. It is ironic how the police and law enforcement in general want cameras on all of us, but shine the spotlight on them and they cry foul.
