Worked well against "law enforcement" during the Battle of Athens (1946). The Viet Cong seemed to do well against tanks and such, the nastiness in Iraq and Afghanistan seems to be costing us an awful lot and they don't have tanks either...
Not to mention, how many of the tank driving/plane flying/etc. members of the military would join any revolution? After all, they swear to defend the constitution from "all enemies foreign and domestic"
Of course, the wine tasting example is the only one where there is a cost associated with letting someone have some.
Cars can be test driven by many others or sold, houses can have multiple walk-throughs for essentially no extra cost (you can show 10 folks for the same price as showing 1 folk), making a downloadable copy of a game (ie putting it on a server) has no real extra cost (you'd be serving up website, updates, extra maps, etc anyway).
Opening bottles of (good) wine, good scotch, etc. has a cost. Can't serve up a bottle and then sell that bottle to someone (well, maybe you could).
Basically, I think it makes sense to pay for a tasting - esp. when it is top shelf stuff, for the fraction of the price of a bottle you can taste many of 'em.
What sucks is when the 30 seconds or 2 minutes (or whatever the length of the long ones in theaters) of the movie shown is either from an awesome deleted scene or is made up of the only 30 second (to 2 minutes or whatever) of the movie worth watching.
Kind of explains why they purchased WebCT (and then killed it off) and then purchased Angel last year (and will be killing it off). Can't compete? Buy 'em out and kill 'em off...
No HD capability in my house anyway, so streaming "old fashoned resolution" stuff to my old fashioned tube tv (won't be replaced until it dies...) is fine with me...
Of course, I've not put our Wii on hte 'net yet - don't need to, got kids to worry about with it... and my DSL service tends to die while waiting for PADO packets...
I'm constantly impressed by the bandwidth a rural mail carrier's truck full of netflix dvds provide anyway:)
If you choose a GPL base, and make modifications, you are under no obligation to share back your code - until you distribute. And even then it doesn't have to be in a patch format....
Actually, it is already being done with digital images from cat scans and such that are sent via internet from rural hospitals and doc-in-a-box places to larger facilities for specialized "reading" and consultation. Assuming something was worked out with licensing and board exams I don't see outsourcing stuff like that to $other_place as much more than a change in the destination IP address.
A friend lives in a newer neighborhood, building started in 2000 and all but one lot is built on. Cable company put a nice big box in the middle of the development, and only ran lines to half of the houses... and have stated that they will never run to the other half. Worst is the half that has it is the one further away from their offices, so it definately isn't a line lenght issue.
Here I am out in the country but not too far. Only got a 21.6k dialup connection until a drunk driver took out one of the big boxes down the road. Connections instantly went to 56k when it was replaced the next day, and 3 weeks later I was offered DSL. My only options aside from that are to go back to dialup or get satellite.
Sometimes security doesn't matter, esp. with regard to the "internal project" stuff mentioned.
Of course, this is the area that basic utility scripting is used, you and perhaps one or two others are the only ones using it, you already have access to any other system you could get via a cross scripting technique, access to any DBs you'd get with a SQL injection, etc.
Get a vps and host yourself. I've been a very happy customer of linode.com for years... had one issue when their central routers were caught in the crossfire of a DDOS attempt... Great support, quick on help if needed, and the "machine" specs keep going up with no increase in fees...
Because they are still minors, and going "away" to college (or any other place really) isn't something easy to do - leases for an apartment, phone service, etc.
Community colleges will let them get the basic courses out of the way, like the English, Art, etc. requirements. They'll end up with an AA degree and can transfer to what you probably consider a "real" school. As a bonus, they won't be minors when that happens, so moving out of the area of their parents will be much easier at that point.
In truth, this is really no different than a dual enrollment program, loading up on AP classes, or the IB program. In fact, here at the CC I work at dual enrollment students graduate with an AA or AS 2 or 3 weeks before they "graduate high school" and get their high school diploma.

Actually, they don't dust as nicely as a real skeet target, or even a old CD-R. They do make nice 100 yard targets for work with the 22 though...
How do you know a geek is shooting skeet and doing well? He brags in the club house about "getting 10 on low #8!"

Wonder what the legal effect would be if you uploaded code under the GPL to turnitin or a similar site?
I don't recall seeing any demo binary w/ extra maps hacks for the Quake series...

that is because the eropean ones are laden with coconuts...
And look at all that VLC can do ... play darn near anything, stream content in *multiple* formats, transcode, etc.

Why not take a look at the code for an existing game engine like Quake (1/2/3) ?

Can't grep a dead tree (or use Ctrl+F)
CC laws, the "assault weapons" ban, the fired case issue, etc.
What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?
Depending on where you live...

Yeah but it is also Steak & BJ day ...

Unless you live in a state that has a castle doctrine...
And before facebook (or any other social networking stuff) there were the obituaries in the local paper...
Didn't have it for Quake3, but for Quake2 my old Voodoo3-2000 card (AGP, 16mb ram) I was getting arond 90fps ... this was in '98 and '99...
Nah, a little airspace and a compressor will take care of the pressure aspect.
Temperature, water quality, what to feed it, and how to open the pressurised container to feed it (air lock style door?) would be trickier.
