Educational use is a special part of fair use with extended rights.
No. No it isn't.
Educational use doesn't do anything to get "extended rights". Educational use is simply a part of one of the four determining factors to be considered when deciding whether something is fair use. You see, the tricky bit about fair use is that the law doesn't say what it is. It is up to the legal system (the courts) to decide fair use claims on a case-by-case basis. By now we've developed a small set of legal precedents, but still don't really have enough information to give hard answers. ---------- US Code > TITLE 17 > CHAPTER 1 > 107
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include--
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
Resident Evil 4 wasn't scary, it wasn't even close to being scary. It was a fun adventure game!
Why wasn't it scary? Because the character wasn't scared! If I was a bit nervous about going into the dark cellar with loud noises of gruesomeness emitting from within I was always reassured by Leon's causal "I'll wipe the floor with you, your friends, your boss, and your minions, and then I'll get going!" attitude.
Games that truly freak me out are the games like Fatal Frame 2 where you are going up against horrific creatures from beyond the grave and you are a terrified teenage girl who's only weapon is a flashlight and a camera. Did I mention that you can only fully see the ghosts from behind the camera's constricting lens? You'll be walking around a room and get attacked by a wispy grey blur and then whip out the camera to see the freakish armless kimono wearing woman wriggling on the floor towards you!
I swear, if I played that game at night with no lights on I wouldn't sleep until the sun cast away all demons and I had spent half the night reading Penny Arcade to cheer myself out of horror and jumping at every shadow.
Aaaaa! Invincible room size ghost sitting on the skulls of the people's he's killed! Waahhhaaaaa!
Hey hey! Resident Evil 4 gave up a metric ton of ammo. I took this as an open handed apology from Capcom for the insane amount of ammo management the previous games required.
Have you actually watched Jurassic Park recently? Those 'leet CGI effects that looked so cool in '93 look like made for tv crap now. Rather shocking actually.
Oh my god. Goldeneye was a freaking boring game. I played that twice and was utterly, utterly, completely bored out of my skull. I'm moving in sloow-w-w-w moootttiiooon.
I think that game must have only been fun if it was someone's first FPS.
Now I have to put in that I love to play FPS games on the console, consoles are my gaming arena of choice. Metroid Prime, Halo, Far Cry: yeah I'm right there. But Goldeneye? After playing Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Quake (esp. GLQuake), and Dark Forces; Goldeneye was a big letdown.
Where does Leon from Resident Evil 4 fit in? My wife found him pretty appealing in a cheesy action movie kinda way.
Her latest videogame flame is either Reza or the Scottish guy from The Longest Journey. I found Zoe (also from The Longest Journey) to be easy on the eyes.
Good sentiment, but didn't Tie Fighter derive from Wing Commander? Or are you differentiating on the 3d modeling in which case you should have said X-Wing.
Now Wing Commander II, that's the highpoint of that series.
Palum and Porum gave their lives, their lives dammit! Only to be forgotten and ursuped by lesser pretenders in a crappy story on a crappy system with a crappy reliance on FMV sequences (yeah, I'm looking at you FFVII).
I see FFVII as the end of the Final Fantasy series.
open mailbox. get it. read it. drop it. s. e. open window. w. get all. open sack. get lunch. eat it. open bottle. drink water. drop bottle. w. get all. e. turn on lamp. u. get all. d. w. move rug. d. n. (Troll!)
But it can't have all been downhill from Zork, Zork III came out after Zork. Let's not forget Enchanter, Planetfall, Deadline, Ballyhoo, and many many more (A Mind Forever Voyaging!).
Not to mention modern day classics like "Spider and Web" (best "Aha!" puzzle I've ever encountered), "Photopia" (superb, moving story), and "Blue Chairs" (trippy, melancholy, uplifting, depressing, and wonderful).
Eh. Penny Arcade is on Ruby on Rails. It is slow, prone to crashing on update days, has a fair bit of broken code...all in all, not a winning endorsement for the framework or the language and its viability for large scale deployment.
This is why I don't think Blizzard will make a Starcraft or Diablo MMORPG. Nobody would leave WoW to start over.
Maybe not, but I'd start playing if they made a Starcraft MMO. I wasn't at all intrigued by WOW, but a multiplanet scifi MMO featuring Zerg Rush Action(tm)? Sign me up.
Imagine it! Documents and photos and games and toys stretching out for virtual miles! You'll have to code a flight sim just to see all your data!
Then might as well add topography to represent groups of data. A gleaming ivory tower for academic research. A giant drive-in for movies and tv files. A dystopian city structure for work related folders. A dark ocean for the internet, full of dangers and terrors and fun. A huge cave would lead into the purgatory of your "recycle bin" files, where they wait to be reborn or fed to the maw of no return.
Note that you didn't post reference links, so let's examine that restricting (a)(2) section.
(2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that--
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;
(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title; or
(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person's knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
Clearly, publishing this research would violate this clause as it is a service that is primarily designed to circumvent a technological measure, AND has limited commerical value---violating both (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B).
You might be so nearsighted that lasiks can't be performed on you anyway. If you are extremely near-sighted then there just isn't enough eyeball material to reshape.

Short answer: awesome.
:-(
Long answer: highly awesome.
Detailed answer: super highly awesome, but a sudden ending.

For solid turn based games you can't beat Interactive Fiction.

Forget about "them"! Guess which format I will pick. Yeah, that cheaper one that looks about as good on my old big tube tv.
For me it's all about the audio, and I already have 6.1 surround sound. What, are they gonna release dodecaphonic sound?
I'm already making this choice now too. Hmm, Tomb Raider for $60 (XBox 360) or Tomb Raider for $35 (XBox)? Gee...
Better yet, add the resources under an appropriate page (creating the page itself if necessary) at wikipedia.
That's because they don't exist.
This statement might help:

Yes! Let's just marvel and not talk about any downsides. They're all features anyway, features!
I get really bitter when I think at how marvelous it would be to have railroads in place of every interstate...gah! Oh well.

This isn't about object recognition, that was just an example, but about communication.
