I don't know about the USA, but in England it has long been held that a manufacturer of a kitchen knife cannot be held responsible for a murder carried out using the knife.

In the USA, we use guns to irresponsibly kill each other. Only in rural and/or southern regions does the concept of a special "kitchen gun" make sense. Now you know!

Hey, maybe Mark Cuban just likes litigation. Fund both sides, sit back, watch the sparks fly...

Oh man, the Kitchen Gun has been a staple of Southern cuisine for centuries now. Ever have grits? That's nothing but a bushel of ears of corn before the twelve-gauge tenderizer gets a hold of it.

Than he should've renewed Steve Nash's contract.
If Phoenix finishes with the best record, Nash is gonna get the MVP award.

Wow, NBA on-top in a slashdot post. Good day so far :)

....the uncontroverted survey evidence established that 69% to 75% of all Betamax owners maintain large libraries of off-the-air recordings and that the vast majority of programs in those libraries are copyrighted motion pictures....

News this week: Huge numbers of people flock to eBay to pick up Betamax recorders so they can tape all their P2P content to the format and remain legit :)

Ok.. probably not likely :)
