Yes, you are entitled to protection against unreasonable searches or seizures in a rented hotel room. Stoner v. California set that precedent.

It is all about making things free that didn't used to be. Devalues everything over time - creators get the message that they might as well make it free when they have a choice before someone takes that choice away from them.
Or, creators get the message that they might as well not make anything at all.

Were Neanderthals Devoured By Humans? 502
Hugh Pickens writes "The Guardian reports that a Neanderthal jawbone covered in cut marks similar to those left behind when flesh is stripped from deer provides crucial evidence that humans attacked Neanderthals, and sometimes killed them, bringing back their bodies to caves to eat or to use their skulls or teeth as trophies. 'For years, people have tried to hide away from the evidence of cannibalism, but I think we have to accept it took place,' says Fernando Rozzi, of Paris's Centre National de la Récherche Scientifique. According to Rozzi, a discovery at Les Rois in south-west France provides compelling support for that argument. Previous excavations revealed bones that were thought to be exclusively human. But Rozzi's team re-examined them and found one they concluded was Neanderthal." (Continued, below.)

Yes, that "Long name ... amazing results" crap is apparently a franchise or branch operation. When I was in college, the local job search using that tag was "Spokane Area Help Wanted dot com" or something similar. Long name indeed.
Now that I'm all grown up, the local job search using that same phrase is "Fargo Jobs dot com". "Fargo Jobs dot com: Long name ... amazing results!" Are you friggin' kidding me? 9 letters. Microsoft.com is just as long of a name as that.
I hesitate to think what the owners of Fargo Jobs dot com would consider a short name ... FJ.com? F.com? Just .com?

Journal Journal: OK, so it's not that hard
Hell, using a "How to Get Into Law School" book is an easy way to write your personal statement. Tell you the truth, that took much less time than I though it would. My dad said "Wow," but we'll see how the school's think of it in a couple months. And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Journal Journal: Damn this is hard.
I've been trying to write my personal statement for admission to law school for the last several hours, and just now have a first draft. Ugh! Aweful. But, it's the last step I have to take before I submit my applications ... should be fun to see who accepts.
Journal Journal: Finally Registered
After months of reading Slashdot (and a few Anonymous Coward comments) I finally decided to register. I love this site, being a closet nerd and all. Perhaps some day, if I can no longer ignore advertisements on the Internet (it's so easy, isn't it?) I'll pay my subscription fee. In the mean time, I would like to thank everyone who makes Slashdot a great place to waste a few minutes every day.
