But a bad law is still a bad law. If the problem is public medical records, then you legislate specifically to keep medical records private. If the problem is libelous claims, then you legislate specifically to address them. You do not go and make an attempt to censor the entire Internet. You do not attempt to kill a mosquito with a cannon.

A lack of lawyers is no excuse. Of course, I'm just saying that because lawyers happen to be the US's #1 export to Japan.

Ah, okay. Anyway, this is a case that the ACLU would conceivably take. The RIAA's groundless settlement factory is a due process violation.

First of all, it wasn't Kasner himself who coined the term... It was his 9-year-old nephew. Secondarily, the term is not trademarked. You can say, "but how was Kasner to know, at that point, that the word would bring someone else such success?" Well, that's the thing. It's his fault for not making it known that he considered that word his own property. The family apparently feels "ripped off," as if the fact that they created this word should have brought them, not Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the success that google.com achieved. Seems like they're mainly just looking for ways to mooch off of other people's success.

The raw 2x4's are part of the bed riser I built. They're not pretty, but they get the job done. It had to use bolts, so that it could be built, then disassembled, then carried in piece by piece in the middle of the night. (it's against regulations) It's a college dorm room, so space is at a premium.

I don't really have any plans, but there are some more pictures of the cabinet in various stages of being built:
the sides of the rails being assembled
the internal assembly
unstained
the cabinet after staining
what happens when you don't clean all of the wood glue off before staining
the final product

The only tips I really have are:
1. Biscuits and wood glue are wonderful.
2. Buy the rails, don't try to make your own unless you have a machine shop.
3. Black spray paint does not stick well to aluminum. It scratches off with a fingernail. I think sanding the aluminum down first helps.
