Umm... This isn't news. I've known this since the protocol first got big back in 2003-2004-ish.
The MPAA and RIAA are both well aware of it and take advantage of the more stupid users regularly. A friend of mine in college even got a couple DMCA letters and the IT group punished him by shutting off his network access for a couple weeks (only in his dorm room, he could still use lab computers).
My question is how did this get a green light and put on the front page as "news".
Disneyland has several shows like that.
The Bugs Life show has the 3D video (it's a 10 minute show, hardly worth calling a movie), devices in the seats to make it feel like something is scampering beneath you, and bursts of fog, air, and water. I hear Captain EO is similar (I have no plans of finding out first hand though). It's been a while since I've seen Muppets 3D, but it may be the same way (and that's been around for a LONG time).
3D and the so-called "4D" aren't new concepts at all. They've both been around for a long time.
To quote a college instructor of mine:
"I thought we won that war?"
He was an astronaut working on some of the Hubble Repair missions, and this quote was from one of his stories on working with Russians on joint missions in the early 1990's. It was his response to the on-going Imperial/US vs Metric system argument they were having. Given that the Cold War was barely over... Yeah, it ruffled some feathers, but got his point across. The "ISS" is still mostly US made. The US uses Imperial (for the most part), therefor the ISS should use the same system.
Don't force your Commie Metric System down my throat just because I don't want to use it;)
Ok, even assuming Firefox was "mature" prior to the 1.0 release in 2004. Do you think that it was even on Apple's radar when they made the decision to start designing Safari? I'd be willing to bet it wasn't. It's possible that when that decision was made Apple, in a very Apple fashion, decided that they wanted to control the quality of the default web experience instead of leaving it to an outside source that could pull support without even a moments notice (leaving them with something like the original IE for Mac).
At MO S&T (formerly UMR) Discrete Math with Graph Theory wasn't just a required freshman/sophmore level class, but was actually a Computer Science class and not from the Math Department.
I would talk to your academic advisor (assuming your school has such a thing). It's their job to answer this sort of question and provide guidance.
- If it can not harm the reputation of the defamed, it is not defamation (i.e. You can't easily defame Charles Manson, for example.)
If one were to say "Charles Manson loves to pet and play with fluffy bunnies" he might find that harmful to his reputation as an evil SOB, and would therefore have a case for defamation.
Scouts provide opportunities for children to learn self sufficiency.
This would have been a better sentence to use. Less hate mongering, correct spelling, and correct grammar make everyone happy and still get the point across.
"how Lego now allows sets with violence (like a gun for Indiana Jones)"
Since when did they not allow "violence"? When I was a kid there were Pirate and Medieval sets that had cannons, swords, and muskets... That was LONG before Indiana Jones or Star Wars sets ever started coming out.
This is no different than a being able to subpoena a newspaper's anonymous sources. Yes, there are certain protections, but it's a Judge who ultimately makes the call on whether the source is revealed.
We could be seeing the rise of journalistic integrity on the internet, not the death of it. Imagine if everyone was ACTUALLY responsible for what they say, and could be sued for libel. What a horrible world we would be living in.

McDonalds has their own children's charity that they put out boxes for instead of a "tip" jar. They would rather have your spare change go to that.

One of my favorite comedies ever.
