Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 15, 2002 6:06pm PDTWell tomorrow is the big DOOM3 demonstration day. I'll be there with my bells on and will have a report for you guys in the evening on whats up with all that stuff and any new info that is released. If you check out that TSN broadcast coming from QuakeCon there is a cute FileShack promo being aired on there that will make you smile (or cry if you're Maarten). Here is some stuff for the evening:
- Bummer dude, NASA just shot $158million in to space and lost it. - Morons placing bets on Elvis still being alive, but hey maybe he is. Thanks Fark - A new conflict with Iraq is looking pretty much like a sure thing - No public cell phone usage in NYC? Yeah.. this will happen. - Free speech and email - How dare this man question the l00nix?! It's easier to install than Windows you know.Lastly, possibly no state tax in Massachusetts? Ok probably wont happen but interesting. oh yeah! If you happened to see the DOOM3 theatre at QuakeCon, drop us some impressions in the comments.

what´s up with the Puzzle Canal under vivec? all I find are a couple of sewer rats while there´re supposed to be some nasty daedric guys. I´m thinking there´s a secret entrance or something to get to the Puzzle Canal proper, so has anyone out there found anything at all?

Jeez, I know a few people that fit that description without having to use cell phones. Does that mean we can put them in jail for being distracting and annoying? IMHO, I don't think that there's anything you can do about this. In strictly public places (NOT a theater: They're a private establishment -- so they can do as they please), everyone else just has to suck it up.
The only other way I can think of "annoyance" being grounds for arrest is noise violations late at night. But the reason for that is this: It affects people in their own home. Once you start invading private space (via noise or whatever), all bets are off and I think punishment (via fines, etc) is just fine. And by private space, I mean private establishments or your own home.
