First, the question. Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus": powersong, or not? If not, what does Doug think of it?
Second, a song that anybody who's played Mirror's Edge knows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERyxFfMqDk
No I've changed
I have changed
Just like you
Just like you
For how long
For how long
Must I wait
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And you tried to
Make it come alive
No shadows
Just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologize, no
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologize, no
So silent
No violence
But inside my head
So loud and clear
You're screaming
You're screaming
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine
And blue sky
This is all we get
For living here
Come fire
Come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologize no
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologize no
I've learn to lose
I've learn to win
Turn my face against the wind
I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologize no

Any thoughts on if it does anything, and what that something would be?

Several thoughts:
It really does seem like the SC Justices just don't understand what middle school was like for girls. I don't get this idea of girls walking about
locker rooms in underwear... I remember spending a lot of time staring at my locker and trying to change as fast as possible in very convoluted ways. I think
everyone perfected the changing under a shirt technique or if you couldn't, you went to a bathroom stall to change. They just don't seem to realize how
body conscious kids are at that age and how traumatizing it would be to have to be even partially naked in front of an adult at that age, much less more as in
this case.
For that matter, the ASUC lawyer should counter sue the school administration for sexual harassment and assault. Since when can 13 year olds give consent to
strip anyway? Last I heard, they can't. Even doctors can't just order kids into a room to strip. At the very least, one of the kid's parents should
have been called and been there as well to not only give permission but also to monitor the proceedings.
Lastly, this group seems to have the brains of a rock. You've searched her backpack, her desk, her pockets and can't find anything based on an
uncorroborated report from another student. How does someone jump from that to we should search her underwear? No one even thinks maybe she just doesn't
have it or maybe the other kid lied? Apparently the horror of advil pills means immediate strip searching is necessary. And after all that, they don't even
find it.
Ugh. What a ridiculous case and sadly enough, seems like it'll be ruled in favor of the school administration.

It's G.I. JOE for people who watched it as a kid and are all grow'd up. Written by Warren Ellis.
Watch it here.

Is anyone else having problems with Tokyo Toshokan or know anything about it? I've been getting a blank page for a couple of days.

| Federal Judge Rules Online Contracts "Illusory" and "Unenforceable" |

In a ruling allowing a lawsuit against Blockbuster Video to proceed, a federal judge has ruled that Blockbuster's online terms and conditions -- which include the standard clauses denying the customer the right to take cases against Blockbuster to court and forcing them to waive their right to join a class-action suit against Blockbuster -- are not binding on anyone. While this is immediate bad news for Blockbuster, it's worse news for every shyster, scam artist, software publisher and online service that relies on onerous EULA and TOS "contracts" to make sure their customers are properly intimidated against doing anything they don't like. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/21 ... enlighted/]Register article here.
