All newspapers copyright their content. However if they have it on their web site you can assume that you can view it. After all if they didn't want you to view it they wouldn't put it online. You can even save a copy for later. And you probably can email it to a friend. In fact many papers have an "email this to a friend" icon. About the only time you could have problem is if you put it on your own web site. In that case you should ask, or post a link.

It is more random, however it is not useful for most things as it is very predictable. Think of it as if you are using rand but everyone is using the same seed.
1) Tell me about the things that you have done at your last job or two. Tell me about how you got 10 different types of boxes to work together or implemented a system to do something or whatever. I don't really care if you know all the options to tcpdump by heart, you can look them up when you need them. I would much rather know why you have done the things you have done and how.
And 2) Do you have any questions about working here?
The difference is that in the Shoah case that someone would die was not in question. Only who it was going to be. The SUV issue is much less clear cut. If I drive a SUV (I don't) and I hit you, then its not that you will die and I won't its that you have worse odds than I do. Somewhat different issue.
There are other issues I have with SUV's but they are not relivant here.
Under Jewish law (Its in the Talmud) You must return a lost object if it has a distinguishing mark, it has not been abandoned by its owner, and it has value. So for example if you found a $50 bill on the street you can keep it, as you have no way of knowing who it belongs to. Or for example you find a copy of a newspaper on a train, you don't have to return it as the owner probably left it there after reading it, so it counts as abandoned. Or for example if a bag of rice falls and breaks and scatters all over the place then it really does not have value. (After all its all over the floor).
On the other hand if you find a wallet with some ID in it, then you should probably return it, as you can know who owns it. Unless you can be reasonable sure that the owner has no hope of finding it again, for example it just washed up on the sea shore. There are a few more rules. I don't remember which tractate of the Talmud this is all in but my Rabbi gave a class on it a while back.
So in that case, if you can figure out who owns the Jewelry some how (Say its in a box with a name) you should return it to them. On the other hand if its box with no name and some gold and dimonds you can reasonably keep it.
If this comes up in real life consult a Rabbi over my post, my memory may be wrong on a detail here.
Actualy I disagree with that. Of course you have to teach ethics. And ethics is a much more complex subject that most people think. Ethics should be tought and thought about much more than they are are in the most of the USA.
If you don't write down and teach your rules for ethics how can you expect people to learn them and follow them. Ofcourse there are many ethical rules that are or should be rather obvious, like don't take bribes. But there are many others that are less so.
For example there was a case during the Shoah (Holocost) where a man could have bribed the germans to let his son off of a train to the camps, but if he did this somone else's son would have been put on to make the count. Would it be ethical for him to do this? Well Jewish Law states that infact it would not be ethical to do that. After all why should your son live at the expense of someone else. And this is not some theoretical argument of Rabbis debating the Talmud, this is a true story.
Now I will hope that none of us ever faces a choice like that (B''H), but that does not mean that ethical choices do not come up every day in our lives, we should think about them and talk about them and when we have children talk about them with our children so that our children grow up with values and I hope make a better world for their children.
While that may be true, in fact the Book of Exodus does not claim that the Jews (Hebrews at that point actualy, the term Jew did not exist for about a 1000 more years) Built the pyramids. The book of Exodus says we built Pitom and Ramses , two cities or temple complexes. The Pyramids had existed for about a 1000 years at this point. The conventional dating for the Exodus is that it happened in 1314 BCE, or 3313 years ago
I wasn't talking about personal debt, but corprate debt. If a comapany can't earn enough money to pay the bills sooner or later it will run out of cash and close the doors.
No feathering is what you do to a twin when an engine fails. It takes the prop and makes sure that it does not spin and create a lot of drag. From what I know about autorotating that is more or less right for a helicopter. Note that this does not apply to a gyrocopter. One of these days I want to learn to fly a helicopter, but at $200/hr and up it won't be soon.
You have to earn more than you spend. This has nothing to do with national laws.
As for national laws, well you have to obay the laws of the place you are. If doing X is illegal for you doing with a computer probably won't change that.
Some pages will always be put up by some person or group in their spare time because they want to. Some other pages will be put one by a group who wants to spend money to spread a message, for example a politcal web page would probably fall under this catagory. As would say the web page of a town.
However many web pages that we know and might actualy like, including google, slashdot, ebay, amazon and so forth have to pay the bills. This means that at the end of the day the amount of money the earn *MUST* be greater than the amount that they spend. If you spend $10,000,000 a year and earn $9,000,000 you will sooner or later run out of cash and die.
This applies to the US only, other countries may vary.
First of all to fly eather of these things you will need to have a pilot's licence, which requires a fair investment in time and money to get.(At *LEAST* 40 hrs of flight pass a test etc)
They Gyrocopter can be treated as an Airplane by ATC except for takeoff and landing. In addition if it is as high powered as they are saying then your insurance company is going to make sure you meet a set of training requirments far above what the FAA will want to see.
Also they will not be as cheap as people are claiming the cleapest 4 place certified aircraft these days costs about $145,000 new. (The Cessna 172)
The class (Powered Lift) has been in the FAR's for a while. The Moller one will nevery fly but Bell and Boeing are working on something like a Civilian version of the V44 Osrprey that will be a powered lift craft. It will be smaller then the one that they are making for the marines. And when Bell and Boing announce they are building an aircraft unlike Moller I actualy belive them.
They are still smoking something, if you have an engine that can deliver 150 hp sustained and burn 1.5 gph I would be very suprised. The Rotax 912 engine burns about 4.2 gph and only delivers about
70 hp (80 is takeoff power but by the time you have climbed a few thousand feet you are down in the 60-70 hp range). So even if it used *HALF* of what the Rotax (Which is a 4 cylander) it would still be burning 2.1 gph/engine times 8. And I don't think you can get that kind of speed out of that kind of thurst.
True but this is more than made up for by the fact that the aircraft has more drag at low altitude. Check out any turbocharged or jet aircraft performence chart.
Well sort of, they use the engine to spin up the roter, but once you are airborn the roter just spins due to the air passing threw it. Helecoptors can do this as well, its what you do if the engine dies. Gyrocoptors can be setup to take of and land with basicly no runway, but they can't hover or take of verticaly. So they need a clear space to climb over obsticals or whatever.
I would get a gyrocoptor rating if I could find flight school around here that gave them, but for now I will just stick to my little airplane.
Actualy you need *MORE* thurst at lot altitudes, because the air is thicker. Why do you think airliners fly in the space between 27,000 ft and 41,000 ft (Well Flight level 270 and 410 actualy)
The CarterCopter does not spin because it is not a helecopter, it is a gyro. The main roter is not connected to anything and is autorotating. The engine is driving a push prop.
The specs say it will cruse at 15mpg and 350 mph. That means that it will be burning 24 gallons per hour. But it apeears to have 4 engines, which means that it will be using 6 gph per engine. I would love to know where they plan to find a Jet Engine that uses 6gph and still can turn out the type of thurst that they will need to go 350 mph, even at 25,000 ft.
And what if you can't go to vote on a Saturday, for example because you are an Observant Jew and its the Sabbath? (I assume there is a work around for this) or if you work on a Saturday?
Adobe created Postscript. However that does not mean that to view it you need to use any Adobe software. Postscript is more or less a standard at this point.
If you want something that has nothing to do with Adobe even indirectly you might have a problem. They have been the ones doing much of the R&D in this field for the last 15+ years. So their hands are in a lot of things it least in small ways.
Well part of the problem is that when you take a comic like X-men or a game like FF or D&D and make it into a movie, if you assume all of the viewers are familiar with your existing product you will fail badly. I liked Tomb Raider, despite having never played the game, I thought X-men was great, even though I never read the comic. On the other hand I get the distinct impression that I would not like this, since I have not played the game I would not get it.
So it is perfectly reasonable for a reviewer to say "Well I haven't played the game but the movie was lousy" as many of the people reading the review haven't played the game eather.
I don't play computer games at all due to a number of reasons.
Its probably because they thing that there is some chance that they are doing to to pepetrate a fraud. If your anon post on a bbs causes a stock to move up or down it may be wire fraud. They kind of take that stuff seriously.
Nice theory the problem is that most of the people that they hope to sell to will. And lets face if if Kodak does not support XP and Fuji does most people will just buy a fuji.

IF the engine dies you glide. Same as in an airplane. You do practice this a million times before you go solo.
They are still smoking something, if you have an engine that can deliver 150 hp sustained and burn 1.5 gph I would be very suprised. The Rotax 912 engine burns about 4.2 gph and only delivers about
