Unless the movie is E.T. Or Smokey and the Bandit. Or anything else Hollywood puts out. Hell, even The Matrix: Reloaded had a twenty minute-long Kahlua commercial in the middle.
But for the chimpanzee-human adage to be correct, there would have to be less than 2 percent variation between any two humans. A difference of 10 percent of two percent, 0.2 percent, would still leave everyone at least 99.8 percent the same, and that's hardly newsworthy enough to make a story.
And if you RTFA, the project apparently only worked with 12 percent of the total DNA. That means that at least there's 1.2 percent difference to work with, unless the supposed 10 percent is actually 5/6 of that 12 percent, in which case we could each theoretically be 83 percent different. I'm rooting for that, because the logical next step from there is X-Men.
Wow. Not only is that airtight logic, it's also the first time such a bold claim has ever been postulated. These researchers may go down in history for that.
I'm going to assume the DVD is a restoration (if I'm wrong, please correct me), in which case it is copyrighted, but the film itself may well be public domain. You'd just have to get a master (or a P.D. copy of a master) if you wanted to distribute it as such.
Nothing can be taken from the public domain; CTEA simply indefinitely prolonged the term of works that were still copyrighted but slated to enter the public domain soon.
There was a point raised in EvA pertaining to restorations. If one does a film restoration, one holds a copyright over the restoration, even if the film itself is P.D. (Unfortunately, only around 1 in 20 films from before 1950--and even fewer films from even earlier--retain commercial profitability enough to make restorations viable. According to seven of the justices on the USSC, however, their copyright holders will permit third-party restorations purely out of the goodness of their hearts.)
Scores affect your real-life Army career. Why send losers to war?
So what you're saying is if you're lucky enough to avoid getting shot with fake rounds, you get to go off to another country and get shot with real ammo? Sounds like a very well thought-out system they got there.
(For the record, I am aware that the grunts who "win" are the ones supposedly good at avoiding being shot.)
1.) you can't just press enter like in IE after entering information eg login/password, searches anything you have to press tab THEN enter.
I just tried this, and I'm not sure what you're talking about; the enter key submitted the form. Still, it's moot considering that FireFox stored the login and password, and the mouse was already in my hand from clicking on the bookmark, but I took the extra step to hit enter and it logged me in.
and prior to the film, there was an advert reading something like Hollywood thanks you for last year's $6.7 billion record-breaking admissions. Now I understand just how badly these kids are sticking it to the industry.
If it gets from the little round plastic thingie (I'm not sure exactly what to call it, since it's not a "Compact Disc®") to your computer, it has replicated itself. Or will you only call it a "virus" if it replicates continuously?
Frankly, this is nothing but a load thereof. Having been using GNU/Linux exclusively for five years now (on the same box, a 450MHz Celeron, which I've added RAM to exactly once), I can definitively state that this is, frankly, wrong.
KDE 3.2 runs faster than 3.1, which ran faster than 3.0, which ran faster than 2.x... all on the same box. Ditto for the latest OpenOffice.org, Firefox, the GIMP, and pretty much every app I'd use.

In my case, it already did. Seven years ago.
... you can't spell "compliance" without "liance".
.sig works really well in this case.

Who needs it? Windows users will soon, and that's before spyware.
... what's the point in implementing them at all?
Indeed you can except [2, v] it, if you'd use Openoffice.org.</pedant>
On my copy of GAIM, there are four buttons: "IM", "Get Info", "Chat", and "Away". I think "Chat" does what you want.
Well, obviously you understand that they ARE in alphabetical order in the ad (I'm 9th from the end in the 2d row :-D ), so what's your problem?

Actually, one of the arguments made in favour of passing CTEA (the Sonny Bono Act) was that it would put the US on par with the rest of the world.
Someone obviously never explained to you the birds and bees. There's a necessary prerequisite to childbirth that Slashdotters don't ever do.

No, I'm not. It really is.
Until it works, it's not supported.

In Chicago, there's only one way to spend money: as corruptly as possible.
