Clearly the King of All Cosmos represents the "man", screwing up royally, and making the Prince (mouse sized) fix his mistakes, by creating a bigger and bigger ball of the proletariat. This clearly glorifies bailing out the powerful, sticking it to the little guy to rectify the mistakes of 'the man'. The message of the game is 'be a good little consumer'. This game should be banned at all costs. It is just the man keeping us down.
The FAQ on the article basically does not allow a person to distribute a creative commons work that has been modified with DRM. Microsoft is doing no such thing. While their software will DRM-ify the song, it is the end user who is using the Zune as the mechanism of distribution. Clearly the works are available without the DRM, as the original user got the song in the first place. This seems to me to be an issue of a transport layer. If you know Microsoft will always DRM, and you try to use this mechanism to distribute CC'd licensed works, then perhaps you are the one who is in violation of the license.
Capitalism does not require people act unethically, illegally or immorally.
Doesn't it though? If profit at any cost is the bottom line, and competition is the ultimate arbiter of success, wouldn't that encourage people to act unethically? Those that do would have an advantage over those that don't. The only check against this I think is making the punishment worth the crime. Recall announcements are often weighed against potential legal damage. This seems sick to me too, but I think capitalism encourages the "success at all costs" mentality, at least by itself.
IIRC, in either the commentary track or one of the special feature vignettes, Peter Jackson said that in order to get Ian Holm to look young enough to play Bilbo in the 5 second 'Hobbit' shot, they literally used tape to stretch his facial skin, all hidden under a wig. I would guess this would be impractical for a whole movie.
Not if Diebold, et. als has anything to say about it. Seriously though, several states are passing laws requiring that any electronic voting machines require a paper audit trail. Why this was not put into the original design of ALL of the machines is beyond me. ATM's have receipts.
If you ever watch old Sci-Fi, the Twilight Zone, for example, people used to think about having habitable planets within a reasonable distance, etc. Now that we have seen that this is not the case, people might have less interest in space. If we literally have to bring everything with us, it certainly isn't feasible (yet) to have something like a colony that could be used to repopulate the earth if it gets blown up. I realize that any progress in that direction needs to start somewhere, but I can see the argument that there may be no intrinsic economic value to manned spaceflight, colonies, etc. What is there out there we can use? I bet if someone found an immortality drug on mars somewhere, you betcha we'd try to get there ASAP, but barring that, what is the incentive for the average person?
They don't have to be paid by the state, merely licensed by the state. That license comes with certain responsibilities, I think some pro-bono work must occur every year under some circumstances, for example.
Sorry, I thought you were referring to the root comment in this thread "I don't trust CGI...and I never will...,etc.". If so, check the first quote in that link.

Which totals 703 episodes. He didn't even need the 22 Animated Series episodes.
However insular we want to be, the universe has all sorts of stuff in it that we would never expect. Sure with CGI, we can 'visit' anything we can imagine. It's just great that there is more than that out there. Gives me hope for the future.
two open windows, prepared ahead of time, with the edits already made (one for George Washington, one for Oregon), then he clicks 'submit' on the air. It could be done. If you read the article, you would see that a StephenColbert user did indeed make these changes at the approximate time the show aired. Either he has a helper on the show, or he did indeed do it. No one outside could have done it live, as the show is not aired live.
This seems kind of scary to me. "meant to appeal to children with the intent to deceive" can be interpreted differently by different people, and could be opem for lots of abuses, IMHO.

A mathematical analysis can be found here with some cool pictures, but it doesn't explain the rules, unfortunately.
Let's try this again. During any case, there is a prosecution side and a defense side. The prosecution side of this case IS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. The prosecution is involved in presenting it's case during any process, even appeals. As such, the 'regime change' in 2000 might have made the prosecution present a less vigourous case in the appeals process. Of course the appeals court is in the judicial branch, but as you can see the executive branch has some sway in how the case is presented.
I am in a similar situation, living not too far away with the same distribution center, and have noticed similar effects, but to be fair, if you drop it on friday night, they say up front that their processing centers are not open on weekends (they will not ship a movie on a saturday or sunday, though the mail might get there saturday), so friday night (after post offices close) will get sent on saturday, and will probably arrive monday. If they ship out monday night, they should get there tuesday. IF they ship out tuesday, it will get there wednesday. They are really adding only one business day to this trip. It just happens that weekend stoppage with mail, etc, makes it look like a whole week. When do you get your next movie if you ship out monday? My guess, thursday, which doesn't sound as bad as friday - thursday.
No, it is tue that the US Court of Appeals is part of the Executive Branch, but the Executive branch is the one that supports the 'prosecution' phase of the appeal.

What about 2003?

Speaking of Klingon, I'd be remiss if I didn't replay this classic Onion gem. (Sad, but probably true).
Why are there so many books about DVD encryption algorithms?

Isn't it ironic how a lightsaber (being a beam of light), can slice through anything... except another lightsaber?
So you're saying that I shouldn't try to get EE credit by watching Star Wars films? Maybe time for another major, oh well.

Not only will the transistors be faster, but whiter and shinier, they won't need to floss.

Yes
Oh, whoops. I just reread what I originally wrote. My bad. Still, read what I meant, which is a previous reply your post.
