It popped into my head due to the linguistic disconnect - Sam is saying that he accidentally did something, but Toby is clarifying that, no, he did it on purpose; he just might not have been aware of the circumstances and potential conseque

My main current project has to do with my home media system. Any sufficiently complex media system needs either more than one IR or RF remote, or it needs a universal remote. The best universal remotes are activity based, and maintain infor

The ability to convict a particular case on a particular set of evidence is unknowable before trial, where the facts are decided by a jury. It would be irresponsible for a prosecutor to attempt a trial if they know stronger evidence is avai
