Solar power is quite popular for remote stations no where near the grid. Diesel generators are better if you have regular supplies coming in, but if not solar is far superior.
Wind power is far too variable and location specific to be of much use.
The purpose of carbon trading is to internalize the cost of polluting. Just as you have to pay the man to take out your trash, you should have to pay for the carbon you emit.
Buying (or stipulating that something must be bought) provides an indirect research grant for the technology in question. It isn't as effecient as a direct grant, but it can be much more effective, as the researchers have to show results to get it.
To anything other than verbatim text. Screenshots are a grey area, and could go either way. (Consider someone taking a photo of the Chrysler building.)
Quotations in a larger article are also fair use.
Everything that isn't soley a direct quote from the game is fair game for a DMCA notice.
The CMCC represents essentially all major Canadian artists.
The CRIA represents no Canadian artists, rather the American corporations who make up the RIAA. They use the "CRIA" name simply to suggest they have a Canadian connection; they don't.
The problem with DMCA takedown notices is that they're essentially legal spam. It costs absolutely nothing to send them, and there's no obligation to prove their claims before requiring action on the host's part.
Aside from things like quest text and screenshots (and that's debatable) pulled directly from the game, the sort of things put on these wikis would not be derivitave works any more than a book review would be.
I don't disagree with you in priciple, but the fact is that the people who wrote the articles licensed them to the wiki under specific terms, and it has a legal obligation to follow them. They can always start again with their own work.
While IBM, Bell and Xerox did unique things necessary for Microsoft's (and Apple's) success, Microsoft has yet to come up with anything unique of it's own. If Bill Gates had died as an infant, Google would still be here today, and so would the desktop in a different (probably better) form.
The Bae Institute was founded in 2002 by Dr. Young K. Bae In other words, no existing institution would accept the good doctor, so he made his own, and issued a press release written in false third person.
The US is a backwards, provincial cesspool of yokels and morons. On the internet, unless one specifically says otherwise, they're not talking about that shithole.
Immigrants aren't payed any less in mainline western societies.
Indian outsourcing is not a threat. The unwashed masses are not swarming to take our jeorbs. Any reasonably decent programmer is quite employable (though only in civilization, don't expect to be employable in Buttfuck, Utah).
Indian comp sci graduates aren't going to want a lesser lifestyle than their western counterparts. How do they get that? By moving here, and drawing the same wages. Those left to man the call centres and other outsourcing projects are those that couldn't make the cut. They won't be replacing competent programmers.
That you are a subpar coder. I know it's hard for you, but try to keep up.
There are no hungarian notation checkers because tool users can get all the information hungarian notation aims to transmit in better, more accurate, ways. Hungarian notation is a very ugly solution in search of a problem.
We're not talking about Bumfuck, Idaho. California is the technological and cultural centre of the US, so why isn't the political infrastructure present there?

It's just a rebranded wing of the RIAA.
The association representing Canadian artists is the Canadian Music Creators Coalition.

I wasn't suggesting the idea as a whole was bullshit, just that this particular doctor was full of it.

He may have been in the same room with one or more representatives (such as a secretary or janitor) of those institutions.
Or he may be dropping names he has absolutely no relationship with. That's how self promotion works.
Even ignoring the use for robot probes, extended manned missions will still need supply drops.

I go through my comics list every now and then and hit the paypal buttons too.
For conceding the point.

I spent my time posting this comment, with the expectation that you would send me $10 in return.
I'm waiting.
There aren't really very many web pages with ads on them, at least since I installed Adblock.
If I use vi and you use emacs, we can collaberate without any troubles. If I write nice, standardized code and you write garbage, I have to fire you.
It would just result in one of those games, like pokemon the gathering, where the object is to give the publisher as much money as possible.
That doesn't sound all that much fun to me. If the process of getting the loot isn't fun, why are you playing in the first place?

The businesses can and should be absorbing those fees.
Gold selling is a fairly minor factor in most games, and it's usually fairly obvious who's doing it.
