As far as I know, courts in the past have ruled that being gay is not an "immutable or highly visible trait." There were however some recent decisions that questioned that rationale.

I like these lending sites, but as a newly minted lawyer, I keep hearing "What If" sirens in the back of my head. I understand you only lend to trusted people, but what if trusted person returns the good in not-so-good-but-not-terrible sha

I mean I get that Groupon is a huge business. I guess the question is are domain name prices relative? If, for instance, this was a public company, and this was disclosed, I would be a pissed off shareholder. Is it better than taking the c

Wow, is .25MM cheap for a domain name.. ever? I can't think of a scenario in which it would be. Could anyone enlighten me as to the economics of this?

As an aside, a recent case ('03) is pretty on point regarding this issue (also topical, considering the terrible Jonah Hex movie just came out). Here is a decent summary of what went down: http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/news.aspx?id=

I love this talk. Also as a sidenote, whenever I watch it, I am reminded, surprisingly, of Mitch Hedburg.

Haha. I love the inevitable mention of dwarf fortress in any gaming post. It's like Godwin's law for games: "As an online discussion about gaming grows longer, the probability of mentioning Dwarf Fortress approaches 1"

I think we are open to everything and anything under the gaming label. As huge gamers ourselves, we have done quite a bit of playing in many (if not all) of these scenarios.
