According to US copyright law, when you perform a work for hire, such as a painting or a tattoo, the work becomes the property of the person the work is performed for unless otherwise agreed upon.
From TFA:
The complaint includes a photograph of the tattoo being inked and a statement from Mr. Tyson agreeing that “all artwork, sketches and drawings related to my tattoo and any photographs of my tattoo are property” of Mr. Whitmill’s business.
I've gotten a lot of the older Westwood games (original Command and Conquer and Red Alert, Renegade, etc) to run perfectly under Wine
You don't need Wine, they work in DoxBox too. I even wrote a nifty script to do everything for you.
From what I can tell from the documentation, Westwood originally ported most of their games to the Windows environment using DosBox. To get them to run on more modern versions of Windows, you simply need a more modern version of DoxBox. By running these games in Wine, you are really just running the game in DosBox in Wine. Why not cut out the middleman?
So uh, why did it take so long to plan an attack if they had a lead for more than 2 years?
1. Physically find the courier mentioned in the interrogation. (3-6 months).
2. Put a tail on the courier and figure out where he goes. (1-6 months)
3. Use information from the tail to come up with a hypothetical location for OBL. (2 days)
4. Stake out hypothetical location and confirm. If false, go back to step 2. (1-2 months).
5. Obtain details about construction and layout of compound. (1day-2months, depending on methods used)
6. Obtain data about security protocols used in the compound (number of guards, when they change shifts, etc.) (1 month)
7. Construct an exact replica of the compound. (6-12 months)
8. Develop strategies for storming the compound. (1 week)
9. Test said strategies using the replica created in step 7. (repeat steps 8 and 9 if necessary.) (1 week)
10. Wait for perfect conditions to conduct raid. (New moon, good weather, etc.) (1-2 months)
The military leaves nothing to chance, and that kind of preparation takes time. Even then, things go wrong.
If you did that everyone would file for bankruptcy the moment they graduate. Why? Because whatever assets a new graduate has(usually none), pales in comparison to the future earning potential he/she has just acquired.
Also, many new graduates have poor or no credit to begin with, so it's not like the hit to their credit will make a difference either.
What are you going to do to someone with in that situation? Repossess their diploma?
If 3D were automatically realistic, from every seat in the living room, and did not require directors to completely reinvent their storytelling technique, then, like stereophonic sound, it would be (mostly) just value added, and would gradually displace 2D as costs drop, the way stereo sound has gradually replaced monophonic.
Go in as a contractor and get promoted to a full time position. It gets you past the flunkies in HR and directly in front of the people you need to impress.
I'm surprised there is no reference to 1995's "King-Size Homer", in which Mr. Burns rewards Homer saying, "you turned a potential Chernobyl in to a mere Three Mile Island."
The thing that bothers me about pebble bed reactors is the graphite moderator. Graphite is combustible, and burning graphite is what caused the crisis at Chernobyl. I know they take precautions to make sure the graphite never comes in contact with oxygen, but that seems futile when it's present in so much of our world.
Personally, I favor passive cooling, like the AP1000.
People censor themselves when they know their friends will read their comments.
I don't care about that. I just don't want my comments indexed by The Great Googlebot (and tied to my real name). There is a flaw in Facebook's privacy settings that will allow search engine indexing on such comments, even if you have disabled indexing in your preferences. I discovered this flaw when I ran a Google search of my name.
It looks like they increased the sample rate during the tsunami. Also note, that the tides are shown in the data. The tsunami is displayed as a very rapid shift in sea level.

You can buy new machines from Dell with FreeDOS installed.

CNET? Really? Is this 1997? Back in the day, CNET was the one stop for all of your hacking needs, but that time is long gone.
If this lawsuit proves successful, look out Sourceforge, you're next.

The US culture has, for the past few decades, evolved to expect the "Good Guys Always Win" ending.
You can thank the Comics Code Authority for that one.
As long as they make a movie about Raving Rabbids.
Those little bunnies are hilarious!
Using the guidelines from this document.
Make student loans subject to bankruptcy laws.

You jest, but this Miles O'Brien used to be chief science correspondent at CNN, until they sadly disbanded their science reporting unit:(
Pontiacs have had HUD units since 1988. I had a friend that had a hand-me-down Bonneville in 1997 with HUD for vehicle speed.
In 2000 Cadillac had a night vision system that was displayed via HUD.
For some reason they just didn't catch on.

Or the way quadraphonic sound replaced stereo...
Newsflash! PR is one of the most stressful jobs in America.
#1 rule for getting by a broken hiring process:
Go in as a contractor and get promoted to a full time position. It gets you past the flunkies in HR and directly in front of the people you need to impress.
From the episodes of Top Gear I've seen, Britain is still using imperial units.
392 MW sounds like a lot, until you consider that's only ~8% of Fukashima.
For painkiller they might be useful.
It's also used in racehorses for similar effects.

Really? Drizzle? That was the best they could do for a name of the new project?

To me this says more about the companies that aren't on the list than it does about Microsoft,
Note the absence of the major American banks.

Seriously, there was a Simpson's episode about this very topic.
Fun stuff, but the US shouldn't be the ones firing them or it will taint the process.
Silly, that's what stealth aircraft are for.
Radio jammers just blow themselves up all of the time. You didn't see anything!
