Actually with the Wii remote controller, and the correct dose of humor it could be a fun game.
It would have to be cartoony, and be the shorter cheaper game the summary implies, but certainly as a download add-on for free, it could be entertaining.
Only if the GPL3 makes Novell's distribution (conveyance) illegal can MS be compared to your voucher seller.
At a first read I did not see where it obligated Novell (or any vendor) to make sure that the propagator is abiding the GPL3 to have rights under GPL3. It is more like selling coupons to download Nvidia drivers from Joe's Legal Download Site. The only way in which MS could be in trouble with the copyright holder is if Novell was distributing illegally and MS was aiding in doing such.
I think the argument that a copyright holder can hold a third party liable for a non-violating copy means that a legal copy can attach to third parties is not a strong one. As I said, I didn't see how it made the coneyer liable for the actions of the propagator, which would imply to me that the copy was still legal.
I always thought that the GPL functioned on the premise you needed copyrights to the software to do anything with it you wanted. It therefore was a way to get those copyrights in exchange for giving them to those you gave copies to.
MS is not making copies, they are giving away coupons, from someone else. I don't see how they can possibly be held to the GPL. It makes about as much sense as me saying clipper magazine employees must where there shirt because I used there coupon at an eatery.
The only way I can possibly see it applying is if MS also chooses to directly distribute GPL3 software, because then they would have agreed to the concept that handing out a coupon is distributing, but without agreeing to that I hope that they can't be forced into it.
I also imagine it is possible for the GPL3 to force Novell not to sell any coupons to GPL3 software without getting the purchasers agreement to abide by the terms, in a sense attaching the restrictive (perhaps in a good way, but still restrictive) parts of the GPL to any coupon.
It could also force the "conveying" party not to convey its copy unless all parties involved in propagating and conveying agree to GPL3 terms, but I didn't read it that way at all, it clearly puts pressure on the propagating party, which does not need any permission from the GPL at all to act. I really think the GPL3 as it is written, and being interpreted is worse than a standard EULA in enforcability. It is trying to capture parties not involved at all (book sellers, box stores, ect) and bind them into a contract that they need no part of to carry on (thus undercutting the defense that the GPL is granting you rights you didn't already have).
It is a shame that the ideals that I bought into were sold out to stick it to the man, it makes me feel silly for defending the GPL vs BSD.
At least until there is a shared constitution I would say you cannot possibly merge it together.
I personally think it will be more than that though. It needs to get to the point that members cannot leave without threat of war (like in Canada, USSR, or USA) before you call it one entity and not a coalition of loose entities. The time will come, but it is not now.
Except the temperature effects at the pump (stations buy temperature adjusted usually). Franchise gas stations are are not owned by OPEC, they are owned by business men or families. They buy at a price set by the supplier and have pretty good freedom on the selling side. Franchise cost is usually a few cents a gallon, but in times of supply crunch can save significantly. The suppliers to the franchises are customers of OPEC, not subsidiaries.
Non-franchise stations are far and few between, because it is hard to get setup without the big recognizable signs. They buy from whomever sells them the cheapest gas on a given day, and it is generally the same gas, but a little cheaper. When prices go up though it is much more expensive for them, and they sell the gas at a lost to keep competitive.
Gas stations generally cover wages and rent with gas profit. The profit from the convienience store goes to the owner (which is not OPEC, and rarely that large a company).
I bet the 3 to 9 cents is coming off the price and not out of the pocket. The only place where it really matters is when the temperature swing is large and people fueling during rush hour are left paying more than those at night, of course if the consumers were educated about that it would free up rush hour slots at the station and consumers would still win.
Many highways have speed minimums already (usually 40 MPH conditions permitting). I believe it is obstruction of traffic to go slower.
I would personally say that slowing down for an accident on the shoulder or someone changing a tire is a saftey issue though, and not obstructing traffic.
Could be a multitude of other HW problems too. But crashing the OS when doing rendering does not sound like an OS (or even software) problem. Though a shoddy driver for a HW accelerator could do it, but I bet a similer card would be closed source driven on Linux too, leading to similar problems.
If I buy a CD, make no copies of it, and then sell it to someone else, nobody has any say in what I do.
The GPL relies on the fact you need special permission, and to get that permission you must comply, but since you do not need special permission to do anything with a sealed box it does not effect you.
Only if they have a specific deal in place with whomever they buy the sealed boxes from or you need extra rights (usage or copying) does the GPL apply.
My guess is that fascilitating a sale is not going to be an enforcable clause. Not if the GPL advocates are honest in there statements about how it is a give and get.
So why EXACTLY did MH2 get rated AO? Is there something that crossed the line? Implied rape? Implied or on-screen S&M or bondage with sexual overtones? Does any body KNOW what the ESRB objected to? Hot Coffe (I bet R* is goingt o have a hard time with games anywhere close to the edge now).
Movies have the same kiss-of-death when they get rated X. And they invariably cut, edit, or re-shoot a scene or two and it heads to theatres with R or NC-17 or whatever they are using in your area. The odds of the game isn't getting cancelled. Movies don't get rated X. Anybody can make there movie X if they please. NC-17 is a kiss of death for a rating, it can't advertise, and most theatres won't show it.
The local big theatres don't show x-rated films. The vast majority of mainstream studios won't make X-rated film at all. I can't buy X rated movies at Walmart or any where else in the local Mall for that matter. Where is the big outcry about all these people conspiring to be my 'morality police'? I'm pretty sure most main stream studios are members of the MPAA, and would get there stuff rated, so it would be NC-17.
There's nothing stopping people from making AO games or X movies, but yeah, your distribution channels are going to be more limited, in large part because that's how the overall market WANTS it. Nintendo, Sony and MS are a little bit more than a "distribution channel".
Yes, but you copy CDs/DVDs to drives in folder with a number, then right the number on the CD/DVD. You hard drive index file now doubles as a CD/DVD index file. That must be backed up.
Put in binders, put binders at someone elses house, in fire box, or even a safty deposit box if you care that much.
Your CDs will last longer not being slid in and out of a binder, or take up less space not being in a jewel case. Your hard drive is now just a very fancy index for your archive (in that it has the full information of every file) and you hard drive index becomes what the person is looking for.
I personally like cdcat. It will cache.NFO files and works well. Though it probably won't scale too gracefully that big (the database is XML and must be read entirly into memmory on startup).
The compressed air car is much better suited to India than most of Europe and the USA. It gets "free" AC, but needs extra hardware (and energy) to heat. An electric version would at least take care of a lot of the extra hardware.
But you are assuming spinning a turbing to charge a small battery and then run off the battery, or to setup controls to always spin the turbine at exactly the right speed to not need a battery is more efficient than spinning the wheels more directly.
I truly believe Obama was not yet looking to run for president and was pushed into.
Of course he was new enough on the scene he could have weathered Democrat presidency, followed by a a Republican one. After we got disenchanted with one then the other, he would have been ready to come in as an "experienced" Democrat.
Of course if you ask Lincoln experience is over rated.
Except if the get it from you. You can hire a lawyer and start planning your defense (weather guilty or not). If they get it from Ancestry.com they can keep you in the dark and blindside you months later.

Either a) you never have to shit
b) you can use the internet while shitting without someone constantly shaming you with masturbation jokes.
Aside from shitting, I also find I can read 30 pages or so a night while in bed before going to sleep. Sitting at a computer still leaves me wanting to read in bead or stair at the ceiling for 30 minutes.
I know many of these books are best used when at a computer ect., but I can still get $50.00 value in other situations. Other books bring the best of the web together and trade searchability and up-to-dateness for not needing to search. I imagine a good guide to all these gems does not exist in one place on the web, and some crappy ones may get in the way of finding the good ones.
I bet it has to do with the perception that women would not be suitable for space flight (because it would interfere with their task of baby making) that has held women back as astronaughts to a degree. It is an achievement, and shows that women are starting to be treated equally when you have multiple instnces of 6 month in space time.
I imaging that you will find many first black this and best black that in fields where race doesn't have too much of an impact (it could be argued that it impacts pretty much everything in our country though, it is amazing what seemingly reasonable people will say when they don't think you are offended by racism).
Mental Patients - So if I have clinical depression I shouldn't be allowed to vote?
vagabonds - presumably citizens? why shouldn't they vote?
illegal aliens - if they live here a good argument can be made they are represented and should have a say. They definatly are paying taxes, so why shouldn't they be represented? I am not encouraging dodging of election laws, and people should behave themselves.
dead people - election day is a good day to catch of with dead relatives, but we really shouldn't let them vote, shame on us.

Even if 100% of consoles are sold on ebay, it is still only half.

But your buying like 3 times the intellectual property. (25GB vs 9GB)
So you are getting a HUGE discount.

Shouldn't competition keep the prices low?

If your list starts with Zork I would hazard Painkiller counts as recent. How often do you expect to be horribly impressed by games?
Doom -> Quake wasn't too quick (civ was between maybe?) either.
3 of the games on your list I would consider fairly recent (Skies of Arcadia, Painkiller, and Crazy Taxi, maybe even Toy Commander).
Also missing is Snood (I like it better than the game it ripped off).
What?
Your crash problem sounds like bad cooling to me.
Will Linux fix that?

Lynx and Links to both get no results :(
They are not copying it though.
I believe right of first sale would apply.

But you are assuming spinning a turbing to charge a small battery and then run off the battery, or to setup controls to always spin the turbine at exactly the right speed to not need a battery is more efficient than spinning the wheels more directly.
Perhaps using a non-servo motor for drive is more efficient?
I (perhaps erroneously) assume the small motors inside the wheels are gear free.
