I buy each season in HD via iTunes ... Just wish they (HBO) wouldn't delay releasing it that way and instead release episodes like other shows

I use MacNewsWire to view RSS feeds ... which syncs with Google Reader ... but works as a standalone app on the Mac (and iPhone and iPad) as well.

movie studios just need to accept the fact that any successful "property" will have a porno parody made ... and should just move on

Gordon Werner commented on Washington State Supreme Court Strikes Down Two-Thirds Supermajority Requirement. Finally!.

But what does this mean? This ruling is on a past 2/3 majority initiative right? does this mean that the more recent attempts at this are also struck down?

Dan ...

I would be against a ban ... but I know gun owners who are responsible who will never vote for this if it outright bans anything. After discussing options with them we agreed on the following:

Better ideas for a "Safer Washington" initiative.

1. close the gunshow loophole
2. REQUIRE trigger locks for all firearms
3. REQUIRE gun safes for all firearms
4. Fines if robbed and access to firearms was not prevented by item 3
5. Give local jurisdictions the ability to create limited, specified zones where firearms could be prohibited (like the Seattle Center)
6. (optional) require some form of insurance (like car insurance) ... own a gun ... have insurance to pay for any/all damage they might cause to third parties. (this can be used to fund other aspects of the initiative like the trigger locks).

Something like this would most likely be agreeable to most responsible gun owners and those generally opposed to them in general
