Sorry, but your wrong. There really was something in the background with a bright glare moving from left to right. The cottage wasn't it. The mistake was edited out of the DVD version, so to see it you'll have to find a screener/camcorder rip and watch it.
If linking a program to a library makes it a derivative work, then does linking a web page to another make it one?
The most obvious answer is no, but then is linking making a derivative work, or isn't it?

I'v rethinked my logic, and I still say you can't tell how many people have pirated a game from the number of copies sold.
Even though the two games are in the same genre, the number of users (legal and illegal) isnt going to be the same between the two. The post I was replying to assumed that Q3A and UT have the same number of users.
This means Q3A could have no illegal copies, while UT could have a million illegal copies. In that case, I'd say piracy was a 'credible threat' to UT sales. And it fits the known data.
The opposite could also be true. Ut with no illegal copies while Q3A has a million. Whether or not its likely doesnt matter.
I hope I'v made my point... if you still disagree, feel free to email me and try to correct me.

> Check the sales figures, pal. They're about even.
So?
That doesn't really mean anything. You can't tell how many people are pirating a game from the sales figures.
I would almost expect Q3A to sell MORE, since most of my friends practically worship Q3A and won't even give UT a chance.
I'm not saying I think pirates take a significant portion of their profits. I'm just saying your logic doesn't prove it.

>(10 RPM * 5-way radial symetry * 60 seconds per minute = 3000 FPS)
:)
you made a mistake there, you have to DIVIDE by 60.
10 * 5 / 60 = less than 1 FPS
Heres an interesting question.

One of the few things I'v learned in my Spanish
class...
va = he/she/it goes
Put no before it, and you get:
It doesn't go.
