I don't know, but I do know of religions that sincerely believe that God created this planet, its life, all the other planets and life on those planets as well. One religion in particular believes that God created intelligent life on other planets.
Evidence isn't proof, chief. The stars alone are evidence that there could be life. The only way to prove there's life is to get a container, identify what we think is alive, and watch it reproduce. That won't happen until we actually send humans there, and probably won't really be settled until it's come back to earth for extensive testing.
They could offer their channel for free one or two months until they've got a good subscriber base. It would create a higher entry barrier, but definitely not insurmountable.
Too bad there's no in-between option, where to get the first channel it costs half of your current cable bill, and then each channel costs 7%-10% of your total now. That would mean that if you watch more than half your channels, stick with your current service. If you're getting cable for only 5 of the channels, then you'll save money and the cable company doesn't have to pay the channel for the subscriber.
Take the average sales and growth of the music industry before napster, adjust for the general economy, and see how it compares to real numbers. It's not perfect, but at least it's another number, and one based closer to reality.
For the overall economy that's a zero sum game. Either the money gets spent at the theater or it gets spent on the music. To say there's an economic gain when, in reality, you've spent the same amount of money is like saying that if I steal a car to get me to the movie's it's an economic gain - the only gain is for myself and nobody else. All those caps don't change the fact that you've got a gaping hole in your logic.
That's right. Worldwide support for the US has never been so high; were Antigua to incur the wrath of America, the EU and Asian countries would just back off and completely ignore Antigua. The US is the world leader in these things, right?
It's also because gambling overseas cuts into the income of the casinos based in the US. IIRC, it's mostly the casino lobbies pushing the legislation about off shore gambling.
When it comes to international politics, military strength counts for a lot. Besides, every other country defies them, just not as openly, so the organizations would be ineffective anyway. However, in this case I think the US may have to tread more lightly since our economy relies heavily on exporting copyrighted materials. Defying the international community on an economic matter is much worse than defying them on a military matter.
If you compare amount of time, then yes. If you compare number of flights, than the space industry is far behind where the airplane industry was. Not only that, but the initial investment is much higher to get into space than it is to get into the air.
I always get the feeling that Linus still just views linux as a cool project that he wants to use, making it the best because that's what he wants to use.
The thing that I find most disturbing is that they're not trying to get them for sharing, it's for making it available. Why didn't the RIAA get a copy of the song they were making available and then charge them for distributing? If they're going to go by filename alone, then I've got a whole bunch of pictures of faith hill, shania twain, and Melinda Gates that they ought to take a look at.
Yes, but as long as they can't pin it down to a single buyer it's good enough. Especially if they were to get multiple sources. Analysis of a lot of songs could nail down a few people that are buying these songs, but the opposite also hold true, ie get 130 songs bought by 50 different users in different places and you can start guessing where the watermarks are and maybe even guessing where some are that you haven't found yet.

Would you mind linking to that supporting data? I've never heard of any well-executed experiments that support ESP.

The difference is that it's fine for executives to be racist as long as it's favoring a minority, not the majority.
Yes, I'm sure the executives for those studios sit down and say, "what programming can we schedule that will differentiate us from black television?"

If other countries have to honor the US copyrights, does that mean they can't import the goods from antigua?

They're up to 4 or so on the arcade game (not counting the "turbo" editions, etc). Regarding the RAM, DDR3's been around for a while iirc.
I always get the feeling that Linus still just views linux as a cool project that he wants to use, making it the best because that's what he wants to use.
They said that ten years ago.
Very nice graph. My only complaint is that the y-axis goes from 20 - 55 rather than 0-55. It makes it seem like they're trying to manipulate the data.
Perhaps they were using the word "final" in the sense of the latest chapter.
Actually, that sounds exactly like an average gaming session for us.

I'd have to disagree with you; remembering the memory likely strengthens the pathway that the chemicals maintain.
So this is more like RAM, where it has to have constant power, than it is a hard drive where the bits stay flipped until reversed by something else?
Yes, but as long as they can't pin it down to a single buyer it's good enough. Especially if they were to get multiple sources.
