Eh what? The GPL has absolutely nothing to do with "public domain" - quite the opposite in fact. Its leveraging copywrite (the Berne Convention view of it) in order to enforce various conditions upon the licensee (ie, you must make it available under the same conditions that you got it, etc)
If it was built on the concept of public-domain, there would be absolutely no way to enforce those, as the concept of public-domain explicity removes all restrictions.
US and UK billions are now both 1,000,000,000. The UK changed some time ago in order to make financial reports and transactions across the atlantic a lot less ambiguous.
IIRC, the temperature is measured by the colour of the sun. That doesn't change the further away you get, so its just as accurate over long distances as short. However, there is the problem of dopler shift if the stars are moving away/toward each other.
You what? I've never had to show a passport to exchange currency. Just walk up to the lady at the window, pass over my Pounds and get my Euro, USD, CAD, AUD, JPY or whatever currency the country I was on my way to used. No names needed, no ID needed, just an exchange of one set of banknotes for another.
Spend as much as you possibly can on your lens or mirror, and as little as you can on everything else. The rest of the materials dont matter much, but if you optics aren't up to scratch, the whole thing is useless.
I'm not too sure about that. I'd suspect that falls under the exception for "incidental reproduction" that the Bern Convention provides, as the architects are producing a photograph of a living room, and not a photograph of your copyrighted work.
It will help stop people getting multiple identities. They'll apply for a passport in the name of the dead kid, but then the system will raise a little red flag saying the iris and fingerprints match someone else who already has a passport.
Of course, the US could just decide to NOT attack the country in the first place, and hence avoid all the deaths without the need to disable any GPS system.
From memory, Google indexes the text of the linking page as well.. so if a page has a to be or not to be then a search for "to be or not to be" will show up the destination page, even though it doesn't contain those words.
The more accurate question is "why would you not want a *foreign* military to be able to jam a GPS system?"
Its all good and well assuming the EU and USA have similar goals and direction. But that is not always going to happen. There will be times in the future when Europe and America don't see eye to eye on things, and then the EU will be regretting decisions like this, and America will be laughing its head off.
So what if we've not reached petabytes yet? Is there something wrong with not waiting till the last minute and trying to cram in a poorly tested feature without much time for testing? Get it in now and have it well bedded down for when its needed.

I'd expect the quotation marks around "Pound sand" come under the rule "Use quotation marks to indicate words used ironically, with reservations, or in some unusual way."

Many immigration departments around the world would disagree with your suspicion that the permit is not needed.
>(presumably USian billions)

I've definately seen that webpage before. Including the little slider where you can change the speed that its running at.
The page hit counter has been running since 1999.. so its not that unlikely.
The Spirit Rover is in the middle of a large crater (as it is thought to be an ancient lake formation, and likely to contain signs of water)
It's probably going to be a touch difficult for it to climb out and go looking for Beagle2

I was thinking more of the person getting the fake, rather than the kid.

It wont. But if customs spot it in the random packages they check, they'll confiscate it.
Of course it went over my head. What do you expect if its in a rocket?
(no, really.. I got the joke.. russians.. vodka.. all that. very amusing. Doesn't mean I can't make another unrelated one, does it?)

yeah... right... ok. Whatever you say.

As opposed to say, a US Space Shuttle? :-P

Groklaw is your friend
The BBC had an article on this also.
Try that around here, you'll just get an odd look at best; most likely you'll lose your iPod.
very ;-)
Hrmm.. moderated as "off topic" while directly discussing the wording of the article. What was that about Crack?
