There's a lot of reasons carbon-based life is favored among the different choices available, not least of which is carbon's very average electronegativity. Some believe that is required for a backbone atom, allowing it to bind most anything from either end of the periodic table.
I'm going to draw some hasty conclusions about this study without really thinking about it:
Whatever, it has been my own anecdotal evidence (sic, I'm trying to say, "my own observations are that") computer game playing, while improving hand-eye coordination and strategic thinking, (does) limit normal social interaction.
Modern computer games train gamers to work withing the systems of chat room, message boards, and other onliine forms of communication. (however,) in a classical social situation (dinner party, traditional work meeting, academic classroom, etc,) the result that I have noticed is that the gamer is:
More observant. That is, more likely to observe people's interaction with one another because, for lack of a better phrase, other people "are always stuck in promiscuous mode."
Think more critically about the situation. They become bored and distracted in any conversation that seems to be something pieced together from old Friends re-runs or excerpts from cooking books.
Have superior verbal skills. Nearly all computer related activities are text-based and expose the young gamer to myriad literary styles.
I am concerned that we are developing a culture, that's already overrun the walls of the petri dish that is the 'Net, of people capable of making their own assessment of self-righteous high-brow palaver that is really merely another attempt to build a wall around the kid protecting him from new ideas.
This is just my agenda. This is just based on anecdotal evidence. So it must be true, right?
The problem faced by these various companies' (Adobe included) is they've staked their business model on laws enacted which soon will be ruled to infringe on First Amendment rights, and encroach on your rights of fair-use.
I think I smell a flurry of shareholder lawsuits.:)
So loaning an ebook to a friend should be regarded with the same rights available to the purchaser, and be regarded as fair use by the purchaser. Even if the pir^H^H^Hpublisher has embedded something to make that difficult.
I'm even of the persuasion that I can post the "opened" book on a web-page if that is unadvertised, and solely for the purpose of downloading by said friend.
What Adobe's software does is encourage one to become a lawbreaker because it relies on some really bad law that has been enacted.
Doesn't anyone else think it odd NuSphere would look to the courts to determine whether they and MySql are still 'in agreement'?:
Now it appears there is a need by MySQL AB to characterize that agreement as no longer in effect - I hope you can respect the fact that NuSphere believes it is fully in effect and we wish to continue to abide by it. This is the central issue and public debate will not resolve it.
Let's go back to the 1-mile diameter bubble in the crust of the moon idea. I/want/ low-gravity flight with self-powered wings. I'll take the fancy native-american model with the eagle-feather dyed goose feathers, please, and the stoop frame for exhilerating power-dives!
With the proviso, of course, that you afford the other method/ideology/religion the same consideration if you should choose to compare it to, for example, creationist "theory".:)

MS's "fix" was a redesign of the database changing the type for all occurrences of a certain type.
The DBA balked because they'd have a tremendous amount of code re-writing to do (stored procedures...)

I disagree, respectfully.
Loaning a book to a friend is not stealing.
It's not even illegal.
So loaning an ebook to a friend should be regarded with the same rights available to the purchaser, and be regarded as fair use by the purchaser. Even if the pir^H^H^Hpublisher has embedded something to make that difficult.
