The moto xoom will be $800, with all the bizarre tweaks noted above (like the wifi requiring a cell contract), and there's no certainty it won't be locked down in the same way motorola phones are.
In addition, it isn't even released yet- let's actually take a look at something before we recommend it. Also, trusting Motorola not to intentionally obsolete your gadget within a year is optimistic considering their past behaviour.
50 years, and still no portable death ray.

..but I suppose we do have hi-def films, DVDs, CDs, cutting tools, holograms, spectroscopy, acne cures, hair removal, LIDAR, surgical tools and the barcode scanner. Which almost makes up for it.
Agreed it's a useless summary - but the humble indie bundle has been widely hyped, penumbra is part of it, and it's linked right there in the summary. If anyone out there hasn't played it, I highly recommend giving penumbra a quick play through- it's genuinely one of the scariest games I've played since Dead Space, and worth throwing a few dollars to charity for.
All of the other games in the bundle are due to be open sourced, too - I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the back ends of aquaria and world of goo.
Funnily enough, I did exactly the same thing with quake, and my geography teacher was kind enough to give me an A4 map of the school site. I couldn't have been more than 13 at the time, but all the same I'm fairly certain that would never happen today.
There's also the issue of copyright on the interior of buildings; as the Manchester Cathedral controversy with resistance:tFoM shows, just because you *can* set your levels anywhere doesn't mean you won't get sued out of existence for using it. Which is sad, really.
Because in sexually reproducing organisms, chromosomes are diploid (ie, they come in pairs) - half come from each parent.
Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome ) has the basics largely correct.
it'd be interesting to see how many people have actually been prosecuted, however. I'm betting not many.
Also, how does the law work when it's legally a corporate entity making the copyright claim? Anyone know?
No, they wouldn't - many places have similar questionnaires, although they cannot *legally* force you to answer any questions on it, and in principal aren't allowed to discriminate and it's 'entirely voluntary'.
That said, leave half the questions blank, and see how far you get. These aren't disreputable companies either; on the standard employment for for an Environment Agency job, I was asked about my sexual preferences and briefly about my medical history. And most employment forms have a 'religion' section, they just add a 'rather not say'.
whilst it's always good to see genuinely open formats in use, isn't there already an ISO standard document format? If there is, is it better to use the ISO standard or an open standard?
Why do this? What possible advantage is there? It seems like a completely gratuitous database.
Besides which, when I was at college (in the UK age 16-18 normally) they didn't take register - If you didn't turn up, that was your own problem; the lecturers took it up with you when you finally did turn up for class.

Accurate, and correct. Although it's not (or shouldn't be) an ISP's job to police what goes through a phone line.
