DaVinci's first flight is set for two or three days after SpaceShipOne's first flight. It'll all hinge on turn-around time, provided both first flights are successful.
Scaled Composites says they're looking at a potential 5 day Turn-around if everything goes smoothly.
Blacksmiths are no longer in high demand because technology has left the blacksmiths products behind. Which is substantially different than people simply taking the fruits of the blacksmiths labour without paying for it.
In this guys example, his product is in high demand, (if 10 debate teams use the report for every 1 that actually buys it) people just refuse to pay for it.
Just as music is clearly in high demand if the volume of music trading that goes on on the various P2P networks is any indication, people are just taking the product without paying for it. That's not a change in business model, that's wholesale 'theft' of a product.
Microsoft is trying to get a patent invalidated which would do what you think Microsoft is trying to do.
The Eolas patent they they have been sued over, and are attempting to have overturned on Prior Art grounds, claims to hold an exclusive patent on plug-in technology.
If Microsoft wins, they will have succeeded in getting a patent covering this method of plug-in interaction overturned.
Maybe I'm missing something here...
But can't that happen here too?
You lose your card, they cancel it, and they issue you a new one. The only thing here is, that only YOU can use your card. If someone steals it, they can't activate it because they can't fake your biometric data, and by the time they figure out how to activate it, or fake your biometric info, the card has been cancelled and replaced.
So when it get's lost or stolen, you report the card missing, it get's cancelled, and they issue a new one that only you can use/activate.
Biometric passwords are an additional layer of security, not the only layer.
All it means is they are guilty of Copyright Violation, and would have to pay damages based on that (which, depending on how long it's been in there could be fairly significant).
Going forward they would have to either remove the offending code from their products, comply with the GPL, or risk facing another Copyright Infringement case.

Mostly because they're integrated in the Z1 Truss Structure on the outside of the station, where it's easier to swap them out with a space shuttle and the robot arm. They're big, they have a lot of mass, they're not the sort of thing you want astronauts to be shoving around inside (where you could smash something important with them) without the help of something like the robotic arms.
Putting them somewhere the Crew could reach without a space walk, would mean that they've have to put them inside the station, and they're big (there are four of them), and that's a lot of habitable volume to lose.
that the Gyroscopes (and their circuit breakers) are part of a Self-Contained unit of the Space Station, the Z1 Integrated Truss Structure, which wasn't added to the station until it had been up there for almost 2 years.
Zarya was launced in November 1998.
Unity was attached by Shuttle Endeavour in December 1998.
Zvezda docked to the station on July 25th, 2000.

The Gyroscopes which are an integral part of the Z1 Truss weren't activated until assmebly mission 5A in February 2001.
It does say a patched PC is safe, but you need Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2 in order to be safe.
However, it does say that Windows 2000 Servers with IIS 5.0 without an already released patched are the infecting machines.
Reports indicate that Web servers running Windows 2000 Server and IIS that have not applied update 835732, which was addressed by Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011, are possibly being compromised and being used to attempt to infect users of Internet Explorer with malicious code.
They'll be able to sell 48 hour self destruct DVD's in the regular retail chain. Why do you need Blockbuster and all it's overhead dealing with returns, chasing late fees, stock management, etc.
Just sell 'em at retail for a couple of bucks, and the purchaser get's 48 hours of viewing once they crack open the package or first play it. No returns, no lost DVD's, no damaged DVD's
You'll "buy" the self-destructing kind for a couple of bucks in place of rentals, and pay $20-$30 for the Regular versions that don't self destruct.
The Self-Destructing CD's replace Rentals, where you have to worry about the people who rented it before you having smeared peanut butter all over it, or scratched it to shit, and the Rental Places have to deal with people returning the wrong disks in the packages, or blank packages.
The story summary has a serious typo, or the poster is on crack. Where the summary says "Presumably, once throw-away DVDs catch on, the studios can for the first time prevent price competition between rental and sales of DVDs by charging more for a regular DVD (rentable and re-saleable) and having the retail sales copies disappear 8 hours after opening so that no one can re-sell them, lend them, rent them or give them to charity. This will also suppress competition from rentals and used copies against currently uncompetitive online movie downloads."
The bold part is in error, they'll use 'em in place of rental DVD's, and they'll be able to sell them anywhere, rather than having to have something like Blockbuster's infrastructure. You'll just be able to buy the 48 Hour DVD for a couple of bucks, instead of renting one for a couple of bucks a day and returning it afterwards.
Not showing the Intro Animation is an option right in the goddamn client options screen. Options opens on the Misc page by default, and it's the very first option available.
They WILL NOT BAN YOU for enabling or diabling that option, as you said they would in your initial post.
They MAY deny you support if you have modified the.bik files, or have made a modification to the client executable to stop them from playing, but they will not BAN YOU!
They may deny support because removing the files, or modifying the client to make them not display, could cause patches to fail.
I have always had Show Intro Animation set to disabled, and I have never been denied support, nor have I been banned. It is also not IMPOSSIBLE to disable, as you said in your initial post.
There's a setting in the UO.CFG file ShowIntroAnim=on/off which controls whether the intro movies are played or not. It also happens to be the FIRST setting in the ingame options, under Misc. "Show the intro movie on launch". It controls both the spinning EA Logo, and the Intro Story Movie to Ultima Online.
You cannot be banned for changing this setting.

Evil thought: Apple should include a "three silhouettes yakking on merged soundtrack" mode in iMovie.
That would probably be fine, as long as they didn't call it "Merged Silhouettes Theatre 3000" or MST3K for short.

Your card gets cancelled and a new one gets issued.
Even if someone fakes your biometric information, the lost/stolen card doesn't work anymore.
