hmm, since you are the copyright owner you could also dual-licence it. First release as GPL, and allow companies wanting to include it in a proprietary product to licence it from you directly. Basically, you get the best of both worlds..
the benefit to ozzie flora/fauna is at most 0. It might do something for the african fauna though... maybe.. but you're right.. there will be scaling problems..
On the other hand.. it's probably better for breeding than a zoo (it's a more natural environment, especially the size), and by organizing safaris they can get some of the startup money back. Basically, I see this as an oversized zoo.. especially since zoos do play quite a big part in breeding programs for endangered animals, education, and they're fun too.
not only small critters can cause problems.. I've heard about trouble in australia with the roaming horses... Australia apparently has no hooved animals, and the horses are compacting the soil too much.. Ofcourse, actually I have no idea what I am talking about.. so if someone knows either better or more, feel free to correct me..
Zeus, Jupiter, and Jove are all the same.. not only in that they're the same god, but also the word itself. The original greek zeus has the stem iov- . in latin, there is no 'J'. the jupiter is literrally
'Father zeus', Iov-pater.. later bastardised into Jupiter.
>My view is that white americans generally have two religions, both of which they pursue with utter blind faith; Christianity, and the Constitution.
just listen to the NRA (National Rifle association), and their 'God-given' right to bear arms. Ofcourse, that right is or isn't given in the constitution (please.. no gundiscussions on what the founding fathers meant and all that.. I'm not interested, and I'm not american)
some christian fundamentalist groups seem to have a problem with it promoting 'the occult', which is a tool of satan(the devil, not the portscanner). And the US is bordering on being a christian fundamentalist country.. no european leader would end every speech with 'god bless '.
so the brazilian population will either die because of no children, or because of AIDS.. nice choice. All cases of anthrax could have been prevented by a simple change in behaviour. Simply by using email and fax instead of physical letters. Besides.. humanity will survive if we all stop using physical letters, humanity will die if we all stop fucking.
You're right.. the situation is not even close: 1 is an epidemy with millions of infected people, and there is no cure yet. the other is a few separate cases, with 5 deaths up to now for a disease with a cure.
in that case, I don't care what your nation stands for. And no, that's not my nation.
>Our troops do not commit war crimes, they prevent them.
That is exactly the problem I have with the US: The US claims to be right, so they are. Need I say more about governments presenting their views as authoritive?
yes, I can live with that, just like the the guy who makes baseballbats can live with the knowledge that baseballbats are regularly used to beat up people.
Do you know what warcrimes were done in Afghanistan by US troops, if any? I don't, since this information is held from me. Number of innocent casualties? same. Proof of Bin Laden's guilt? withheld too. The US is just as guilty as China or Saudi-Arabia in this one.. all do censorship, all present their government's opinion as authoritive.
yes, the author of a pictures copyright lasts 70 years. I meant the portrait-rights though, which is slightly different.. they last shorter, and a CG image isn't a pre-existing picture, so author's rights do not come into play.
