The actual problem is more that they seated him, on the plane, despite knowing that he had paid for 2 seats and that there was only one seat available.
SW shouldn't have put him on the plane - that's even what Kevin Smith says. However, having put him on, having the pilot come and throw him off is ridiculous.
If it normally comes with the platform in question, then yes. So if you're compiling for Windows, you're allowed to link in Windows SDKs. If you're compiling for iPhone, you're allowed to link in iPhone SDKs.
If you're just making the changes for yourself, you can self-sign and deploy on your own iPhone. It's only distribution to others that mean you have to pay Apple. And you can avoid doing that if you're happy to distribute to just jail-break phones.
You can put up essentially the same app, as long as it is obvious it is a different app. Which means you're fighting trademark law, not copyright.
Change the icon, change the name, change the publisher name, and change the about us page, and you've done enough.
Think FireFox vs IceWeasel.
Furthermore - if someone takes your GPL'd app (which, presumably, you own the registered trademark for?) and puts it up on the AppStore, Apple will enforce your trademark and kick them off once you bring it to their attention.
If you don't own your trademark, then you have to do the above changes, _register_ the trademark, and then resubmit.
It would have been nice to see something more done with the whole Aldor vs Scryers issue. Here was another faction option that was orthogonal to the main - there could have been a form of contests between them.
Not battlegrounds (that would be at odds with the "we're allies" aspect) but how about some sort of team sport? Ostensibly non-lethal. This would have allowed Orcs and Humans to compete together against the Blood and Night Elves.;)
It's an easy statement to explain. GP said Blizzard was only about making money. Parent post said "No, there's also people who care about making great games". Because the GP left out this extra motivation, their post reflected "a fundamentally incomplete view of reality". It was incomplete because there were bits missing
Actually, that is not the case. Government officials in particular have a greater duty to protect your privacy than the average citizen, due to their access to greater-than-normal tools to violate it.
If, for example, Rep. Doogan abused his office to discover Mudflat's identity, then that would be a serious problem.
This is exactly how people used to write. The use of a punctuation marker between words didn't catch on in Latin until sometime between 600AD and 800AD. A lot of punctuation marks, and grammar in general, is a relatively recent fad.
Having your bank's own bank accounts frozen by a foreign power (the main reason Iceland's collapsing so fast) probably does count as "completely unexpected"...
Most of the heavily automated factories in China are set up by the Chinese themselves.
Individual companies and groups in China recognise that the labour differential won't stay in place forever, and they don't want to see themselves either trapped in low-pay environments or see a flood of customers going elsewhere to even cheaper places. So they are bootstrapping themselves up now.
The interesting part is that they are bootstrapping up while still being cost competitive - proof that the sweatshop model is unnecessary.
(All that said, we have to remember that sweatshop workers actually prefer the sweatshop to the alternatives that they have. That alone is enough to make me shudder)
There are workshops in China that provide good working conditions for their staff, and provide a living wage. They rely a lot more on automation, and need to keep staff turnover low to provide a return-on-investment on training. They also manage to provide product at the same price - or better - than the sweatshops. These workshops do require more capital investment, though.
Cheap labour, and customers who don't care about how their goods are made, allow sweatshops to flourish. They can be eliminated without causing a price surge.
Possibly it's the way they arranged for the change to the bank details of a legitimate organisation? Dunno. The article said the scam originated in Nigeria. I was just pointing out that this wasn't a 419.
*sigh* can't you read TFA? There wasn't a scam like the Nigerian scams - this is more a case of someone forging invoices.
Essentially, the scammers changed the bank details for the University of Utah, and submitted invoices. The state paid them. Yes, the state was slack and had poor procedures for identifying and preventing fraud, but it wasn't one of the 419 scams. Importantly, there doesn't appear to have been an element of greed on the scamee's part.
This was a scam technique that originated in Nigeria. It wasn't the Nigerian 419 Scam. Strangely enough, Nigeria has been the origin of more than one type of scam.
Of course, preventing flooding of flood plains wrecks the ecology and in many cases has resulted in the severe degradation of the arable land downstream.
A more sensible solution would be to not build towns and cities in flood plains. But it's a bit late for that.
It could also have resulted in the stress being accumulated faster than the normal release mechanisms could offset. The FA suggests that the stress was roughly "25 times the normal tectonic movement for a year" - so instead of having a dozen or so non-damaging quakes every couple of years, they got one big one.
It snows in Australia. Some parts of Australia receive no snow, just like some parts of the US receive no snow. Some parts receive a lot. Those parts presumably like to stock up on snow shovels.
You do know that the last couple of hurricanes to get in the area did result in mandatory evacuation more than 48 hours in advance, which did result in looting and other activities done by individuals lifting a finger (and other peoples property) in their own interest, right?
You also know that the previous evacuation saw a significant number of people refuse to leave, due to fears that their homes would be looted and the hurricane would miss, right?
You also know that if the dykes hadn't failed - a contingency that nobody was ready for - the smartest thing to do in the hurricane was sit it out, right?
And finally - you know the biggest impediment to evacuation afterwards, when it was clear the dykes were going to fail, was the massive traffic jams caused by individuals fleeing by car rather than waiting to be organized into convoys with decent traffic control, right? The problem wasn't "not enough transportation", but rather "too much, doing stupid stuff".
Oh wait - silly me. I'm guessing you don't know that (or much else)
No, Parliament can not just change or abolish any law they want. For example: one of the big questions about Britain entering the EU fully is about if the government has the constitutional right to do so. UK courts have shot down Acts of Parliament as being unconstitutional before as well.
The boundaries are vague and not well-defined (hence why constitutional law is such a big area in the UK), but they are very real.
That's basically it. I don't know about the rest of the Commonwealth, but Australia inherited the laws of succession from the UK when we federalised in 1901. This is an act of Parliament that could be changed.
The Australian constitution proclaims us as a monarchy (originally to King George VII and his successors; now Queen Elizabeth and hers). The method of succession is up to the Federal Government, which is why we can legally become a republic in the first place. Expect more debate about this when Queen Liz does step down and we actually have to vote (in Parliament, anyway) on her successor.
Personally, I'd rather a republic (with long terms of office for the head-of-state - like 10-20 years), but if we have to have a monarch, I want an Australian monarch, who lives in Canberra.
In the USA they had a revolution 200 years or so back because they didn't like unelected hereditary leaders from outside telling them what to do.
And a couple of hundred years before that, England had a revolution as well. Having put in a ruthless military dictator and El-Presidente-For-Life, they waited for him to die, put the monarchy back in, and dug Cromwell up from his grave so that they could execute him posthumously! (Well, points for effort, guys, but as the assignment was handed in late...)

I'm actually impressed that in 1979, the ISDN lines stopped 2 blocks from your parent's house.
2 block and 9 years, that is - ISDN wasn't codified as a standard until 1988, with the early recommendations out in 1984.

At about 100 miles by 80 miles, it's a little big for a city where people walk as their primary transport (about 12% bigger than New York).
So - definitive proof that Atlanteans had hovercrafts.

Do you like your grapes sour, or did you apply for some reason besides wanting to work there?
BTW - "looooooooong" and in-depth personality tests are very different from these quick multi-choice tests described in the article.
