Blue Dam is the Chinese government's replacement for Green Dam. Blue Dam is aimed for the servers and make use of hardware and software and is suppose to be multiple times more effective then Green Dam was. It is not part of this lawsuit.
Found an article that better explains it. The chinese government hired Jinhui Computer System Engineering who wrote the software, and would of been the company that stole the code. They are China based so no lawsuits on them.
CBS Interactive is being sued because they are US based and distributed the software. It is still down intellectual property.
The voyage of the beagle is wonder in those games.
That is about the only place it could fit since it is not a technology, I guess they could of added a Eugenics social path.
Solid Oak Software is using CBS Interactive for $1,238,450 on the claim that CBS Interactive copied 3,000 lines of code from Solid Oak Software's CYBERSitter and used it in Green Dam software.
The amount they are sueing for is $39.95, the cost of the CYBERSitter software, times the 31,000 times they say the Green Dam software was downloaded.
Since both companies are US based this comes down to simple intellectual property lawsuit.
NPR had an interview with some researcher who looked into the long term business benefits of hosting the Olympics; he even admitted that the building and local usage will take decades to recoop.
The basic conclusion was the benefit was an increase of about 30% of external business and that was seen for all cities that got nominated; actually winning gave no additional boost. That number was decreased for cities/countries that had previously held the Olympics, if it was a world known city and other factors. The thinking of the researchers was that being nominated indicates to the business world that you are ready to interact with the world and have the infrastructure to handle that business.
I am all for states passing laws for punishing the use of hands-on devices while driving, but this new rule set they want to push on states for commercial drivers is just draconian.
Under current rules if you are convicted of one of the major offenses you loose your commerical license for 1 year. Such offenses include:Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs, Hit and Run, Refusing to submit to a breath or blood test to determine the presence of drugs or an alcohol concentration.
If you have two convictions you lose it for life.
Under this you now lose your commerical license for life after just conviction.
The rumor that Comcast came out against is not that they are dealing but that a deal and are just finishing the last parts of it.
The CNN report is just badly worded.
Warcraft is a poor example of where it is hurting the player, MMORPGs have always charged and if they provide new content it usally saves the player money because they are not out purchasing new $50 games.
Where you can see DLC hurting the player is with Fallout 3 and similar. It use to be you could purchase an expansion pack for $20-$30 and it had plenty of new content to last the average player a few extra weeks. With Fallout 3 you have them charging $10 per DLC with the DLC aimed for 2-3 nights of play. So Fallout 3 DLCs costs the player $50 and less content them a previous $30 expansion would of had.
No they don't they get the same medical that is open to all federal employees, FEHB. They are privately run insurance plans and congress members get the same as any other federal employee, 72% of the fee paid up to maximum of 75% of the plans cost.
They have one option plan that is not available to the rest of the federal employees they can pay for an additional plan that allows them to any Army or Navy hospital in the DC area only, not their home location. No family options on this.
Where they do get free health care is if they have an accident or emergency while at the Capital there is a navy doctor on active duty who provides support and he can refer them to Walter Reed or Bethesda for emergency needs. In addition their salaries have ties into the cost of health insurance so that their salaries goes up as costs go up.
Now the chances of them giving up FEHB for whatever they push on the general population is not going to happen and the bills currently in play make them exempt.
A few quick search so that what you said is not the case.
Farrah Fawcett traveled to Germany to get herbalist treatments that had no scientific proof that they worked. The proven medical fix has a survival rate that would of left her alive today(probably) but it is ugly and after all the other chemo and radiation treatments she did not like it and the story of a quick fix was easy to take.
For medical tourism the current hot spots are Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. If a European wants local the top stop(Summer 2009) was the Czech Republic or Poland; for the North & South Americans it is Mexico then Costa Rica. The UK and USA are the top for the rich who don't care if it is known, of the rich that want privacy it is Switzerland the study suggests that this may be more history and word of mouth then reality.
One other thing with Europeans is that some countries are now opening hospitals in other countries and when you need surgery that is where you get sent. Some reports look to count those people are medical tourists and other say no since they are not going because of their own choice it should not be counted as that.
It was not until Newton that Copernican was proven correct.
Galileo was going by unproven ideas and was bucking the current mainstream thinking of science. Hansen and Gore are the big science who are pushing down the people who have proof that what they are saying is not the case(the Galileos in your example).
Make the robots want to drink booze, smoke cigars and watch robot porn and then change them money to get them.
Problem solved and you help the economy.
One major difference with your current four year degree is that it is probably regionally accredited so it has value. So you should be able to easily make that $33,000. With the straighterline degree you have a degree with no regionally accredited degree so you would of have a better chance of making money with that $4,800 by buying a ticket to Las Vegas and betting the rest on red.
If think the US is the only place that just shows ignornace on the topic.
For example during the big "clothing malfunction" there was a big scandal in parts of Europe because a TV channel broadcast a breast cancer surgury and showed part of the breast during hours where that is not authorized.
I have worked in a few libraries, public and private, both as paid or volunteer help, and don't know of any that deleted user information or information on who checked out books.
They may of archived the information and removed it from the main databases but the information was still available for years after the event.
The most a library really needs to record are who are the last 2 people who checked out material, after that you there is no way of proving someone else damaged it. If you want metrics on the types or specific information on the number of check-outs that can be done without attaching a specific user to a piece of material.
Few places have a legal requirement that libraries store user information and if they did not store if beyond what is needed to track who has something checked out or could of damaged material they would not have problems in proving this information since it would not exist.
IANAL, but in that case the book should be treated like any other property. If you have a will then whoever you give a rights to would have ownership. If you died without a will or inheritors it would go to the state, legal term is escheat*.
Everything is just a matter of time. After all Watson, Crick, Wilkins and Franklin got, or should of gotten, Nobel prizes for extracting DNA. Now you can do that at home.
The problem for this would be getting access to a database with the info, so it would probably be easier to punch the person in the nose to get a blood sample and duplicate the DNA from that.
Here is an easier method (version that may make from work).
There are commerical version that do alot better bending job, try http://www.garner-products.com/ for videos and pictures to gladden your hard drive destroying heart.
It make perfect sense, you don't have a history of proving you can handle people loaning you money and paying it back. It is called a credit HISTORY for a reason.
If you have been with a single bank for a good portion of that time talk to them and see if they will get you a credit card or try Discover card since they easier to get.
Use the credit card and pay it off on time and you will soon have a good history.
But except for Dr. Doom and a Seinfeld episode most people have never heard of Latvia so this makes it sound exotic.
Personally I love Riga it is nice city with interesting sites to visit and some decent restaurants.

It's a very renewable resource.
Same reason cotton and wool are not considered "green" products but hemp is.

Well it is better then declaring September 11 as National Service Day.

Most of the story is written as 3rd person but has various parts written as 1st person.
IANAL, but in that case the book should be treated like any other property. If you have a will then whoever you give a rights to would have ownership. If you died without a will or inheritors it would go to the state, legal term is escheat*.

Got the solution for that for my birthday.
As a bonus it is fat free, vegan and kosher.
Maybe to the young whippersnappers to the true ancient geeks it will always be the Protocol Control Indicator.

The plastic is not going to waste. It is protecting the inhabitant of Mu from various cosmic and ultraviolet rays.
