Have they not been doing this already for certain artists that have opped into it? I know that Youtube has thrown me an error when attempting to upload a video with licensed music in it before and gave me the option of uploading with a disabled audio track. In fact, this system seems to have been rolled out in 2007.
It's not a question of how much the material costs to produce in this case, but rather, what use the material gives.
MP3s give purchasers the ability to listen to a song for their own personal enjoyment while sheet music offers purchasers a chance to learn the song and perform it themselves. One is for personal entertainment and the other is for providing a performance tool.
Well, just as we cannot say with certainty that a law that has not yet been unproven is correct, we also cannot say with certainty that a law that has not yet been unproven is incorrect. Assuming the universe operates on some form of natural law (that is, assuming that all events are not entirely random and arbitrary), then the laws of the universe are finite and therefore describable.
The issue is not that we cannot be right, because it is possible that we can find one that is right; the issue, rather, is that we have no way of irrevocably confirming a law. We may only watch the evidence increase while waiting on the possibility of an event that disproves it.
In this interview the president of Nintendo discusses the fact that the 3D affect can be dangerous to developing children. Considering the fact that Nintendo began placing health and safety warnings at the beginning of all of their games in 2004 and has included such a message on the startup screens of both the DS and Wii, we can assume that they will make an effort to warn parents and children of the dangers any time the product is turned on.
Take it a step farther: What market is there for a company selling ports of decade-old games for a system with few users and fewer gamers for $40-$50 each?
I love Linux. I love using Linux. But there is simply no way to make money porting games to Linux.
It should be noted for those that didn't RTFA that this case was more of a cause of bad clinic than a bad procedure.
According to the article, patients with similar kidney issues in a clinical trial in which bone marrow stem cells were injected into the blood stream showed marked improvements.
This clinic, on the other hand, injected these cells directly into the kidney rather than into her blood stream, causing the adult stem cells to try to build blood vessels in her kidney when they should have injected the stem cells into her bloodstream.
So, in other words, had the clinic done what the had been at least moderately successful in previous trials rather than haphazardly throw their own spin onto it, the patient would likely have been fine.
The difference between Limewire and CD Drive manufacturers is that Limewire actively encouraged the use of their services to pirate media. Prosecute the guy who tells you their guns are for shooting people, not the guy who tells your their guns are for hunting.
And then whichever is less popular will die out as the other reaches critical mass. Either that, or people's data will be fragmented between two very different camps that likely will not be able to interface with one another as one service lacks privacy and the other does not. You'll end up in a situation where half your friends are on one social network and half your friends are on another--you'd be forced to use both services to keep in touch with one group of friends.
I've seen a couple of comments (more than one thread or else I would have posted a reply there) that seem to suggest that this breaks quantum physics by accurately predicting the speed and direction of particles, but it should be noted that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to accurately calculate both the velocity and its position. Speed and angle are components of velocity, therefor the only conclusion of this experiment is that velocity can be calculated under these conditions.
While declarative memory does decline as one ages, only recall memory is affected while the ability to recognize does not significantly decline.
That is, people over 40 tend to decline in scores on fill-in-the-blank tests without a word bank (that require the taker to recall a specific answer) while staying about the same on multiple choice tests, where the answer must be recognized.
If we are taking such precautions to insure that this data key will not be destroyed, would not in the worst case scenario virtually every piece of data that ISN'T buried under a mountain be gone too?
The idea behind this sort of therapy is to confront your fears in a controlled setting. The simulation induces more and more anxiety until you tell the psychiatrist that you are anxious. It is then toned down until you are relaxed again. These therapies are typically used in conjunction with relaxation techniques in an attempt to empower the patient to relax irrational fears away.
In my recent psychology class, our 2004 textbook as well as a few VHS tapes discussed the use of augmented reality as a treatment for various phobias. One example is this article from 2005.
This product's entire line of advertising has rubbed me the wrong way. When I first saw an ad for a Kin online, I didn't yet know what it was. All I saw was your typical dating-site ad woman accompanied by a caption saying "Could you be friends with someone you don't even know?" So my first impressions? That it was a dating site. I don't see future advertisements getting much better.
I think you've missed the point of the parent--this system of payments makes school analogous to a job in the sense that rather requiring students be intrinsically motivated or concerned about their future positions in the workforce, the primary incentive to input effort into education is money.

So just because somebody illegally uploads a video, that gives 100,000 other people the moral right to illegally download it?

Or you could have a solar powered battery charger and cut out the middle man.

Considering the +5 Funny score, I would say the trait is quite beneficial.

Publishers will be racing to find ways to break Reader while Apple will be racing to find ways to make it work on deliberately broken content.
And Lenovo's not the only brand that's doing it--the Toshiba Satellite I ordered several months ago has this feature as well.
Actually, apparently he doesn't.
I wonder whether the court would also accept a driver's own GPS log as exculpatory evidence.
Apparently not.

On my high end rig running 7, FF 3.6.3 gets 502 while Chrome 5.0.365.38 beta gets a whopping 5228.

Not to mention all the puns you can make about racks.
Get off my Rack?
In Soviet Russia, rack vibrates you?
All your rack.....?
A perfect example of why this type of joke flies right over the average /.er's head.
