The video clearly shows them shooting at the people who arrived to help a wounded victim (identified by Wikileaks as one of the Reuters employees). However, when asking for permission to fire on the new arrivals, the American gunship crew repeatedly said that the people were "collecting bodies". But they weren't "medics" from what I could tell. They were just some passing civilians, trying to help a wounded man.
You do not have to say anything unless you wish to do so, but I must warn you that if you fail to mention any fact which you rely on in your defence in court, your failure to take this opportunity to mention it may be treated in court as supporting any relevant evidence against you.
The article throws around "piracy", "illegal" and "copyright infringement". But what do any of these actually have to do with the servers people run? Surely all the "intellectual property" is encapsulated in the official client software (models, sounds, etc.), which more than likely was acquired legitimately from the developer/publisher, or is resident only on the official servers (dialogue, quest text, etc.). Third-party server developers only need reverse-engineer the communications protocol, and then implement their own quests and such.
Is the "illegal" action involved here no more than the violation of a EULA, or am I missing something about how these servers operate?
The XO-2, most definitely: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-2 Asus are also working on something with a similar form-factor, last I heard.
It's almost like companies noticed that the original XO laptop spawned the whole netbook craze, and decided they wanted to be in on OLPC's next big idea.
If the window is already at the top of the screen, and you initiate a move action via the window-decoration context menu (right click on the border, or alt+space), you can move windows beyond the top of the screen - provided you don't first move the window downward.
While "Vendetta Online" has already shipped, the game is still considered to be in beta status by both its users and its developers, and many defining qualities are still only in the stages of early planning.
So the difference between VO and practically every other MMOG is just that the developers are honest?
I tried K-3D a couple of times, and though I *really* like it's pipelines and procedural modelling, I couldn't get rendering to work properly and experienced several crashes. Hence my current preference is for Art of Illusion.
In the UK, every person who is arrested has DNA, photos, and fingerprints taken and filed. If they are not proven guilty or at some point are no longer considered a suspect, they are destroyed. From The Register, 18th December 2006:
Less than two thirds of people whose profile is stored on the National DNA Database are there for having been cautioned or convicted of a criminal offence, Home Office figures have revealed.
But what you think is a masterpiece might really be a total hunk of shit. Yet with some amount of work, it coud be repaired and brought to a point where it is useful. Exactly. Hence it'd be better for everyone if the person/people who want the changes made can fork their own version of the software, and be rid of your 'vision' and meddling. If you're right, their project will likely sink. If they're right, your project will likely sink. Either way, the best project will come out on top. Survivial of the fittest.:)
Alternatively, you can all carry on all under the roof of the one project, with all the conflict, in-fighting, and procrastination that would likely ensue. Result: one half-finished project, and an unfriendly community.

The part of the missile that locks into the spring mechanism is actually heavier than the the rest of it, so it doesn't always fly nose-first like you'd think.
We armed our missiles with white-tack warheads (it sticks surprisingly well to foam), and they do fly much better, without a significant loss in range. They do tend to pick up a lot of hairs and muck from this grotty old carpet though.
There are a few interfaces for other OSes too. Someone below mentioned OSX, and there are two that I've seen for linux - I use pymissile at the moment (though it needed some fixing to get to work) - being able to control it over the network for teh win!:D
And lefties can forget about using any pen or pencil that smudges. Your hand drags all over everything you've just written, so not only is your writing deemed sloppy and messy and worthy of only the finest chicken huts, but the side of your hand gets covered with a inky splotch, something akin to an organic Jackson Pollock.
Fortunately, Opera has that nifty "fit to width" toggle, which more often than not makes an overly-wide, or just badly css'ed, web page fit nicely in the browser window.
I mean, it's fine to worship deities.. just don't tell people it's a "logical thought".
Given that we can't prove that there are no deities, is it not logical to believe that there might (I doubly stress the "might" here) exist one or more deities? If there is such a deity, it may be best to worship them, lest they become wrathful (and no-one wants that). If there aren't any deities, then you'll just be talking to yourself - no harm done.
Given the above, is it not logical to worship a deity - any deity - just in case? Of course, which deity you choose is entirely up to you, and whichever you choose you run the risk of being wrong, but it's better to worship a deity than not to, logically.;)
Users, even hard-core Linux geeks, don't always know the name of the software they want to install - let alone the package which contains it (I'm looking at you, KDE).

Passing on wisdom to kids? Isn't that what TV, and now the Internet, is for?
Agreed. At least with Xonotic most people have a chance of being able to pronounce it correctly.
