Nasa Engineer 1: What happen?
Nasa Engineer 2: Somebody set up us the pseudo-noise.
NE2: We get signal.
NE1: What you say?
NE2: Main screen turn on.
NE1: It's you!!!
Mars: How are you gentlemen?
Mars: All your rover are belong to us.
NE1: What you say??
Mars: You are on the way to dissolution.
Mars: You have no chance to incresase funding, make your time.
Mars: Ha ha ha!!!
Bush: Move manned mission.
NE1: You sure about this?
Bush: For great re-election,
Bush: Take off every manned mission.
Because the filters are more restrictive than the actual laws?
Because you don't want your work to look like ass?
Because HP isn't a recognized law enforcement or treasury official, and shouldn't be deciding what I am or am not allowed to print?
From rulesforuse.org:
The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided:
the illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated;
the illustration is one-sided; and
all negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.
No prohibition against resolutions or realism. But, oops, can't scan in the bill to open it in Photoshop to resize it.
Note that our Canadian laws also state that the image cannot be colour.
Oh, and just for fun, try downloading the picture from the US Treasury website, which shows the required resizings, and try printing it. If the file won't print, that's bad.
Ultra-high resolution images of currency? Art, advertising, parody, the list goes on. In the last/. story about this feature in Photoshop-CS, somebody linked to the US Dept of Treasury's very own guidelines on what you can and can't do, and there's lots of legal stuff you can do with images of US currency.
Secondly, expect to be watched. They will tap your phones, house, install a gps tracking device in your vehicle, for at least the first few weeks after the raid.
You know, I was wondering if that guy that he drove over too, while the fuzz was doing their thing, is going to get a knock in his door in the next few days....
We shall download from the web servers. We shall download from the FTP servers, and from the proxies. We shall download from Windows, from Linux, and from Macintosh. We shall download the Google cache..we shall never surrender!
I'll say this: although you never shrink to their level, you do need to acknowledge the rules they're playing by. And some times, applying those rules right back can convince them that the game isn't so fun anymore.
1, for the obvious reasons. And the not so obvious ones.
2: She is a soul. She's what the 'dummy plugs' are based on. She gets reincarnated alot.
3: Gratitude; it is through her, and her alone, that Gendo is able to advance his plans. He is grateful to her for this, and she is grateful to him, and him alone, for most of the series. Indeed, it's only when she starts being grateful to Shinji, for worrying about her, and stops being obsequiously grateful to Gendo, that she starts to become her own person.
4: There's at least three separate instances of Rei that we see during the series, let alone the giant room'o'Reis that Ritsuko blows up.
5: She exists to command (the Evas) and to be commanded.
By that logic, shouldn't there be metal detectors in the doorway of all public buildings? Shouldn't there be drug analysis devices built into every toilet and urinal?
You're right, it's logical, from a cold, hard sort of place. Unfortunately, we're people, and the 'logical' choice is often the wrong one.
There should also be a penalty for attacking somebody vastly weaker than yourself. To modify your example, make the length of time the pkiller flag stays on you proportional to the differences in your rank. Then, make them consecutive, rather than concurrent.
Then, possibly, remove penalties for being killed by somebody vastly stronger than yourself. If a level 30 decides to go newbie hunting, don't punish the poor newbies. Or, just require a certain parity in relative power to even have the option of attacking another player.
Or, make a 'sanctioned' PvP arena, where you can challenge somebody to combat to the death; if they accept, a time and duelling rules are agreed upon, and the two people (or all the combatants; make team capabilities) are transported to the arena, and can safely kill one another.
As long as you keep track of duels, you can easily identify 'professional duellers,' (hell, make some bloodsports, at that point) and flag somebody to refuses to duel for a while, just for fun. Part of the agreed upon rules would be the penalties for losing the duel; anything from forfiture of certain items, level reductions, or even a 'I whupped SoAndSo in a duel' souvenier item.
A duel can be postponed once, for no more than 48 hours, without penalty, or disconnected during, once. When the duel is agreed upon, an alternate time is agreed upon; if you disconnect from the first duel, you'd better show at the second one, or you automatically lose.
Killing somebody in a duel, of course, doesn't get you an automatically negative flag.
There is a story, completely true, about an Austrailian military helicopter sim. They wanted some kangaroos, so they took the logic that controlled infantry men, slapped some kangaroo models onto them, and there you go.
Then, one day, they were doing a dog and pony show for some bigwigs. The pilot decided to buzz a group of kangaroos, which, of course, they'd never do during 'real' training. The big wigs all ooh'd and aahhh'd when the kangaroos broke and ran from the helicopter. Then they were stunned as the kangaroos found cover, broke out the stinger missiles, and shot down said virtual helicopter.
Turns out that they'd inherited more than just the movement routines from the infantry objects....
I am a student and this guy is totally wrong about guilty-until-innocent. If I were building an algorithm to detect plagiarism, wouldn't I assume that the paper is 100% original and then match passages accordingly to lower the score? Sounds like innocent until proven guilty to me... If you were doing it the other way, it would be much more difficult to match every passage to make sure it's not in the database yet?
I'm a security guard, and this guy is totally wrong about 'guilty until proven innocent.' When we strip search you every time you enter a public building, we're assuming you're not carrying anything illegal. Then, every illegal thing we find is a mark against you.
His problem with the system is also that the submitted papers are kept by the website, to compare future submissions against, which is a selling point to get other schools to enter into contracts with them; therefore, not only is he being accused of being a criminal, his work is being used by a third party to profit.
In this case, I'd say yes; 'Playmate' and 'Playboy', when used to describe girlie mags, are not diluted. If somebody says they're going to buy Kleenex, they mean they're going to buy tissue, which may or may not be Kleenex brand. You don't, however, often hear people use the word 'Playboy' as a generic term for 'magazine with nude models.'
That depends. If the ads were sold as 'what will come up when somebody types in 'playboy' or 'playmate,' that's wrong.
If the ads were sold as 'what will come up when people are looking for porn,' and typing in 'hustler' or 'penthouse' would wind up at the same place, that's different.
A Google type system, which reflects how users respond to given keywords, is different. Might also be useful to tell when a trademark's too diluted to remain in force, too.:-)
There's a reason that, say, Dead or Alive 2 for the DreamCast looked better than DOA2: Hardcore for the PS/2.
The Saturn went for a multiprocessor design, as well, but didn't have the userbase to force developers to take it. Sony, on the other hand, can easily force said developers to take it.
Just to tack on, Wu Shu would be another good one for this purpose; modern Wu Shu is as much Gymnastics as an actual fighting form. You'd recognize it from Ray Parks, aka Darth Maul, and Jet Li.
Slashdot Mirror
Leaving one's front door wide open is not an invitation for others to stroll in, kick back on their couch, and watch some television.
Republicans were accessing data they knew they shouldn't have been. That's a crime.
Doubt we'll see a Half-Life 2 Theft style raid, though.
In 2004, Mars exploration was happening.

Like "Charmed."
Where the plot is 'how will whats-her-name fit into an EVEN SMALLER halter top?'
By that logic, shouldn't there be metal detectors in the doorway of all public buildings? Shouldn't there be drug analysis devices built into every toilet and urinal?
You're right, it's logical, from a cold, hard sort of place. Unfortunately, we're people, and the 'logical' choice is often the wrong one.
Exactly my point; guilty until proven innocent.
I'll agree, though, that it's pretty silly to expect teachers to read and grade a student's homework.
No, not by examining it; by specifically requiring it to be run through a plagerism detector before a human being even deigns to look at it.
But you aren't assuming innocence by testing each and every paper. You're assuming guilt.

That's the entire point behind Miramax; it's Disney owned, but it's not the Disney name.
Pirates of the Carribean is the first Disney movie to have higher than a PG rating; it's PG-13.
