They should just have a do over.
yup, now that there's a specific proposal there should be another vote. and if there's anything i've learned watching austin try to tackle highways and transit over the last few decades, it's that specific proposals with clear winners and losers never win referenda.

That’s the legal reason. As a policy matter, it’s pure bullshit. Punishment has no utility aside from prevention and deterrence. It should be employed when useful for those purposes and not employed where not useful. In the case of the criminally insane, punishment is useful (indeed, necessary) as a means of prevention.
The focus should be on intent to do the act we desire to prevent (as opposed to intent to do something you know to be immoral). Who gives a shit whether the perpetrator understood that murder is frowned upon? If he intentionally killed someone, then he is dangerous and should be removed from society.
if someone is insane then punishment doesn't deter them because they're not capable of making that calculation.
and what danrydell said.

Not a lawyer (thank God), but I've always thought that "not guilty by reason of insanity" is bullshit. Shouldn't it be "guilty by reason of insanity"? You can still send the guy to a mental hospital if he needs it. But why can't someone be insane and guilty?
because you can only be guilty if you had intent to commit the criminal acts. if you were legally insane at the time, you had no intent.

i don't know if there is a good test, aside from running it in a hot box with a load tester ($$$). there's little things you can buy that clip onto the ATX connector, but all those really do is say "yes, power is on." easier and cheaper just to get a new one, usually. problem with dell is that sometimes they use power supplies that meet ATX spec, and some other times they use power supplies that don't, but still use the same connectors so you could destroy your computer if you plug in an ATX supply and feed 12V into a ground.

FCC wants to reclassify text messages from a Telecom service to an information session
The real issue is that the definition of information service is so broad that you could make anything be an information service.
However, if you think back to the mid 90s when the telecom dereg act was passed, it really isn't that hard to figure out. Back then you had a bunch of walled garden networks that were independent of the internet, such as AOL or CompuServe (along with lots of BBSes). Sure, some of them offered internet access as well, but on something like AOL you never had to leave AOL's network if you didn't want to. The other thing you had back then were dial in ISPs. You dialed in, got an IP address, and were fully part of the internet.
If you remember how things were, it's pretty clear which of these is an information service and which is a telecom service.
