I'm wondering. Say I look at online photos of some really expensive shower curtain rings, make my own 3D rendering based on those photos, then print some for myself (and maybe for some friends who come over). Am I guilty of pirating? Will lawmakers see that as "stealing"?

Or how about if I copied the design of some really cool & expensive smartphone case and just printed one for myself instead of buying one. Will that be stealing?

The part where they will be testing an "experimental feature where the voter can check via a physically separate channel (smart phone) if his or her vote has been registered correctly" sounds like a good start.

My WTF moment was the mailto link in the submitters name. I haven't used or even those in at least 6 years!

I agree with GP.

Maybe there's a magic number that needs to be reached. I fly 104 times a year, and none of the checks bother me anymore. (the man in the article flies 200 times a year - he can probably move around the airports with his eyes closed)

Just a random thought; a day in Titan lasts almost 16 Earth days. If humans evolved in Titan instead, would that mean that we'd spend the equivalent of 16 Earth days awake also, and maybe almost the same amount sleeping?

Wrong. How did this get modded Informative?

Nope, THIS is the proper way to hold an iPhone 4.

I agree. This is a very good idea!
