A Case to Define the Digital Age
BusinessWeek Online
The case is a crucible, not only for the CTEA, but for all future copyright laws. And Lessig's strategy is both bold and fraught with risk. "What the Supreme Court must answer is whether the intention of copyright is to protect economic value or to promote science and the arts," says Peter Jaszi, a professor of copyright law at American University Law School. If the court overturns the law, it could call into question a host of other unpopular laws, especially the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. But if the law is upheld, it will be a huge setback for digital-rights activists. Posted by GeeTee at September 27, 2002 09:20 AM | TrackBack 0
He Cheated at Bingo, Killed Self
Wired
"You always figure they're going to try to get away with something at the blackjack table or on the video poker machines, but rigging a bingo game?" asked Frank Cilletti, a retired security expert who worked with several Las Vegas casinos.

Larry King or Lunch?
whatsbetter?com
We understand that choosing what's better can often be a difficult task. We considered such a feature and decided against it. It is the goal of this site to qualify which, of all the things in the universe, is the best thing and to give a meaningful ranking of these things. This just isn't possible if there is an option for not voting on a pairing. If you think hard about the two items you were given, there must have been something that let you choose one over the other, even if that thing was as simple as "It was under my mouse and I didn't want to move my wrist enough to pick the other one".
