All precedents are abused. So what. When they are abused, litigate them. As soon as some idiot cops somewhere says that Fidos "woof" is a nod of approval to enter, that suspect will take it to court, and it will be litigated.

There's nothing to litigate. The Supreme Court has ruled. There is no higher court to take it to,

I've never really understood the point of sporting video games. If you're playing a game, why wouldn't you fly a spaceship or kill aliens or build a railway or raid tombs or do something that you couldn't otherwise do in real life?

If you like soccer and don't have use of your legs I suppose it makes sense, but I also assume this is a small minority of players.)

Why play chess when you can join the army......

After all, it's the first step of automating management, and replacing all that management types with a bunch of shell scripts.

So it may be a slight inconvenience for a time, but in the end we will only have to do what the shell scripts we wrote ourselves are telling us to do. Sounds pretty much like paradise to me.

Yes but will those shell scripts be written with vi or emacs?

Ah, so obviously it was a nightmare ;)

No need to turn this into a Vim vs Emacs debate.

Yes...yes there is.
....at least we can all agree either one is better than visual studio.

It's a game, a big-budget currently-supported game, not made by Microsoft or Sony, that you can play on Linux PCs (not consoles)...

I must be imagining the copy of Team Fortress 2 that came in my copy of The Orange Box for the PS3. And yes, I know that the PS3 version is hatless, but it's got the same gameplay.

.....but hats ARE the gameplay,
