It'd be easy to limit it to commercial ventures or motion pictures. And we're only talking about software used in the production of motion pictures, so OO.O need not have this added to its license.
Personally, I think things are fine the way they are.
Plus, this part of the Wikipedia article indicates that many people use "shuttle" and "orbiter" interchangably.
"A bird was struck around 2.5 seconds after lift-off. The bird impacted near the very top of the external fuel tank, and appeared to slide down the tank in subsequent frames of the video. NASA does not expect any adverse affects from this impact, because of the relatively slow speed of the spacecraft when it occurred, and because it did not impact the shuttle."
I'll try to refer to the Shuttle orbiter as the orbiter from now on, though.
I woke up this morning to two local morons (Bob & Sherie) yammering on the radio about how a bird hit the Shuttle on launch. Is this really true? I saw no news about that yesterday. One of the idiots went on to say he wasn't worried about the bird so much as the ceramic tile that fell off and hit the Shuttle since falling ceramic tiles are what caused the last explosion.
Agreed, it is lame but fortunately infrequent. However, the capability to render it also means other effects will render in other applications like Final Cut and iMovie down the road.
He should be publicly stoned. Even if he just made a bonehead comment that sounded worse than intended (maybe he was refering to the corpse of the Shuttle or NASA instead of corpses of astronauts).
I think the grandparent poster was responding to this incredibly stupid quote ("We want to have our life choreographed, cataloged, witnessed and archived," Stakutis said. "Now we are heading to a world where this is possible without effort.") more than the technology itself.
"For the widget manager to delete widgets in/Library/Widgets/, said manager would need to run as root. I somehow think that most people who install their widgets by hand would like that even less than having to delete them by hand."
Right, because Mac OS X applications never prompt for authorization when they need a higher level of privileges. </sarcasm>

What the heck is up with having 7 buttons in such a small area in this screenshot? And what the heck do the bottom-right 3 do?

You're right. We're launching this thing so that it can reach 80-100km and then plummit back to Earth. The ET and SRBs both complete this "trip."

Put it in the license.
No, we have different definitions of "trip." The trip is into outer space and the ET and SRBs don't go there (about 120 km).

"It is wasn't even one of the ceramic tiles that caused the last shuttle to disintegrate..."
Right, which is why I liberally called the radio duo morons and idiots.
"As for the bird, it only hit the tank, and the shuttle isn't going all that fast only 2.5 seconds after launch."
Yes, it amazes me that these people can't distinguish between the Shuttle and the external tank and booster rockets which never make the return trip.

A remix of one of Frontalot's songs uses a loop of that ROTN song.

"How much could it possibly cost to do this paltry upgrade?"
$0.25

Head shots are now a standard police tactic in London, I wouldn't put this past governments.

No, praise David Lazarus, the reporter that wrote the article this /. post is about. Please try to follow the thread more closely in the future.
Wait, so now people are slagging journalists for actually doing their jobs? Don't do that! We should praise them.
Even if that is true, Rove still committed a treasonous act by relaying the information.
"I kinda worry I just completely stated the obvious."
Judging by the other posts I read above yours, you're not.
Too bad that it doesn't.
If Dreamworks is involved with a movie, it is highly likely that Steven Spielberg will be an executive producer of it.
Live action. Cars are easy enough to computer generate versions of that are indistinguishable from a real one.
OK, so we know Michael Bay has done The Island and The Rock, but what movies has Steven Spielberg done?
