as far as I know just about all of the commercially harvested forests in North America are replanted after harvesting.
They are a renewable resource.
However one of the problems with some of the comercial methods is errosion through wind and rain of the disturbed soil (very important in some catchment areas). This machine goes along way towards eliminating that by causing almost no damage to the surface it treads upon.

The Who's Bass Player John Entwistle Dead at 57
Thu Jun 27, 6:22 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - John Entwistle, the bass player for veteran British rock band The Who, died in Las Vegas on Thursday at age 57, just one day before the group was set to begin a North American tour in the city, the Clark County Coroner said.
Entwistle, a bearded, taciturn type affectionately known as "Ox," died at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, said coroner Ron Flud. An investigation was under way into the cause of death, he added.
The Who, known for such hits as "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again," were scheduled to begin their three-month tour in a small club at the hotel.
With Entwistle's death, The Who are down to just two original members, singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend. Original drummer Keith Moon died of an accidental pill overdose in 1978.
In addition to playing bass, Entwistle helped out on backing vocals. His songwriting contributions to The Who were sporadic, mostly limited to a few album tracks and B-sides. He released a half-dozen solo albums.
Entwistle, who was born in the London suburb of Chiswick on Oct. 9, 1944, joined Daltrey in a forerunner of The Who in the early 1960s while working as a tax clerk. The band ultimately took shape in 1964 and made an immediate impression with its "Mod" stylings and its expensive habit of trashing all its stage equipment after each set.
I think comparing the 3 products to each other was a fair thing to do.
He wanted an emulated PC on his computer (x86 based), so he compared the 3 options...makes sense to me
obviously there are 3 different philosophies behind the products (probably helps each maintain a market share). But at the end of the day they all do what he wants/needs and with varying degrees of success...
My point was more if you dont want something to happen it is quite acceptable to take precautions. I.e. Sony encryption of the ROMs... Just because something is illegal (regardless of what we are speaking) it is not prudent to assume the law will protect you from the event...

Tengen's Tetris.
Tetris Troubles
Tengen acquires the home rights to Tetris and begins selling the extremely popular game. However, it is quickly discovered that Tengen bought the rights from Mirrorsoft, which did not own the rights in the first place. Nintendo quietly acquires the legitimate home rights to Tetris and releases it under its own label. The Tengen version is removed from the marketplace
A movie's greatness should not nessecarily be measured by what new wizz bangs things it incorporates, but how it presents the message or story....
And in this case the movie does a great job of representing the book, it does present fairly closely what I imagined when I was reading. Also this seems to be the case for many of the movie's viewers. So I believe that the movie has done a great job of presenting the story...
