Generally, infringements of copyright which involve commercial dealings are criminal offences (with trading as is the case you point to counting as commercial dealing).
Copying for your own use would almost certainly be a civil case and as such the amount you can get stuffed for would be related to the damages incurred by the wronged party. Those damages would be demonstrably zero and you wouldn't have much to worry about.
They give far too much of it away, not the plot necessarily, but the action sequences and 'new characters'.
I don't see they why they are pimping it so badly. People are going to want to see it anyway. The adverts should have been complete teasers.
I'm tired of walking into a movie only to discover I know whats coming because of what I've seen on the adverts.
You should really ensure it is the right person.

But if the only way you can tell if someone is a drug user or not is by testing their urine, obviously it's not impacting their job.
Up until that time. If the first time you notice that their job is impacted happens to be the same time they are impacting upon someone else with a laden forklift then it's bit late.
Prevention is the first step in workplace safety.
My brother and I spent a good few hours doing games on that. I think our favourite was a helicopter based one. Unfortunatly with the limited space for sprite frames I think we didn't have many left after doing the animations for the helicopters.
And good old flickering sprites when things got a bit busy....
I remember spending ages on the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit on the Commodore 64.
You could even produce some pretty good little games with that. Naturally you always ran out of sprites or background tiles before you ran out of ideas but it was quite good fun.
According to this article Britain realises that the best people to be running Umm Qasr are, oddly enough, the people who have been running the port up till now.
I can't actually watch Fox News but I've been reading the closed captions in #Livenews on irc.striked.org since day 2 of the war
As far as I can tell they aren't even pretending to be balanced. I find it kind of odd (yet reassuring) that the state run media in Australia and England seem to be far more balanced than the American "independant" news sources.
Opera on Windows certainly doesn't use QT. Interestingly they're using their own widget set now on Windows. I wonder whether that will be the case on Linux soon too (possibly still on top of a QT canvas) in the not too distant future.
I just checked, it is available.
Are you sure? The only one I can see is this one and it certainly isn't GPL or GPL compatible.
In any case I think we agree that QT isn't likely to be an appropriate choice for Free Software if it has any desire to be available on any non X11 platforms. Indeed in some ways it's probably sad to see the "schizoid" licencing terms prevent a little Free QT software hitting Windows desktops.
It's ludicrous for anyone outside the project to suggest a wholesale change from C/GTK+ to C++/QT. It's the people who work on the project who actually have to work with the code and it makes sense for them to work with what they are most familiar and comfortable with.
You will certainly not get "Better maintenance" or "rapid development" if you disenfranchise your developers. The "cool platform" and "more acceptance due to QT/KDE" just reek of KDE fanboy garbage.
If any of these theoretical reasons were practically significant then there'd be no need for a request to port GIMP. People would _want_ to use QT and Krita (or whatever) would be a significant app already.
Classifying the whole of Sydney as a DSL disaster area is going a bit far. Where do you live in Sydney?
There's certainly no problem with it where I am (Milsons Point).
I'm not suggesting there aren't any, just that I don't know of any.
From the GTK world I have GIMP, Pan and XChat on my Windows laptop. They are certainly in varying stages of completeness, but they all work.
In fact don't licencing issues mean that, for GPL Software at least, the "guarunteed portability" you speak of is irrelevant because QT isn't available under GPL on Windows so GPL apps built against QT can't be distributed?
If copy protection means I can't (easily) copy them to my Network Walkman temporarily, play it my xBox, play it on my linux box or play it at full bitrate on my laptop then the convenience has gone straight out the window.
The size alone of the NW-MS11 was enough to sway me.
I was willing to trade some of the minor inconveniences you mention for that level of portability.

Of course, IANAL.

It's amazing how many Americans seem to be such wilful proponents of doublethink.
Now I can get CNN's constant rehashing and aimless hypothesizing when I'm at work.
That was the one, but the channel seems to have gone and #CNN is silent.
During the (first) Gulf war I remember there being an IRC channel that had the closed captions from CNN being relayed.
I don't suppose anyone knows if this still exists and if so where?
The ISPs are merely compelled to provide approved filtering software to their customers at cost.
No one is actually forced to filter content. As the article says only 17% of parents have actually bothered to install such filters.
Some groups are promoting mandatory filtering and some are dead against it which is pretty much how you'd expect things to be.
For example, he'll happily accept a freebie high end digital plasma screen TV for vital research.
Perhaps Saddam should also try chucking our Prime Minister a similar gift in return for more favourable consideration.

After all GTK stands for GIMP Toolkit.

Surely that deserved a +1 funny moderation for the "free as in Willy" line alone. Well done sir!
But certainly not always
