The other poster did a nice job of shooting down you post but he missed one.
If we collect solar energy in space and beam it to earth then there will be more energy entering the earths atmosphere. After we are done using that energy it has to go somewhere, the most likely thing is that it will get emitted as heat by all the devices we run off that power, and if we don't arrange for that heat to vent out into space somehow then things will start to warm up.
granted, although by limited were are talking a couple of hundred and having done 80% of them I can say that they are evenly spread over the difficultly range
The guts of the claim seems to be that the rights granted by copyright are:
Section 106 of the Copyright Act grants a copyright holder the ex exclusive right to reproduce, prepar clusive prepare derivative works of, distribute, display, and perform the copyrighted material.
And that the particular opensource licence grants non exclusive rights to do these provided that certian conditions are obeyed. They then cite Sun vs Microsoft (the Java case) precedent where the judge ruled that copyright claims can only cover the rights granted by copyright and that the other restrictions are a matter of contract law. Based on this they argue that the claim of copyright violation should be thrown out.
Now IANAL but based on the precedent they seem to have a valid point, however as far as I can see there is nothing here to stop it being relodged as a contract claim. Here's the docs it starts on page 13
Is RMB different from CNY because if not then believe you mean 7.97 RMB =~ 1 USD. So the teacher in your example is getting paid 100-200usd a month which is 0.6-1.2usd an hour and the games are selling for 1.2-1.5usd.
Honestly, I don't expect either company to be around much longer no matter WHAT happens. EVE Online is getting long-in-the-tooth, and really doesn't have mass-market appeal.
The player counts disagree with you http://eve.coldfront.net/status/tranquility
Sure it's not World of Warcraft, but it's fan base has been steadily growing since it was launched and continues to do so.
As for long in the tooth, they keep dumping out big content updates, the next of which is due any week now. And while the graphics engine is 5 years old you need to bear in mind that they were doing HDR 5 years ago so it still stands well against modern games. Also there is a complete graphics engine overhaul in the works for DX10/Vista which if it is anything like their last engine will put them solidly 2-3 years ahead of the state of the art again.
