The dvd producers don't get the TV show footage for free. Either it's considered as part of the initial revenue stream (the DVD is produced by the same company) or there are licensing rights to be bought.
DVD rights for TV shows are no different from DVD rights for movies.
That's actually not true. The only US-born babies that are not adopted usually have mental or health problems. As a matter of fact, couples hoping to adopt often have to pass strict screenings and sit on waitlists for years. "In the United States, for example, adoptions of U.S.-born children satisfy between one-half and two-thirds of the total demand for nonbiological children."
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
I was going to mod, but I guess a reply is better.
regarding point (3)-- "ess temperature = less energy (e). the speed of light (c) decreases at the same rate as the square root of e." I call shenanigans. c is a constant here to relate the conversion of mass to energy (and vice versa). E does NOT reference heat energy.
If it did, the speed of light would increase for hot objects (and on hot days). Time effects would be experienced by stars and nuclear reactors.
Supposedly we detect about 1 a month right now (in all the seeable universe). They're hoping to lauch a space probe that will bring the number up to 1 every week or 2.
Create a ram drive and put the swap file on that. That'll speed things up.
Um... why not just use the ram as ram and not swap at all? That'll speed things up.
I was going to mod, but someone should point out that Peter Singer is so infamously consistant that he's advocated post-birth abortions.
He's said that people aren't people until after they've experienced life. And indeed, what's the difference between the 7-month fetus inside and the 7th month early birth outside?
You do not need to own an iPod to use the ITMS. I don't think Apple has said how many active users there are, but I'm sure it's significantly larger than the number of iPod owners (therefore, the average songs per ipod increases).
No. The average songs per ipod decrease. Think about it--
songs per ipod = (ipod users using iTMS - ipod users NOT using iTMS - iTMS users not owning ipods)/total songs sold.
Adobe may owe popularity to piracy, but its profitability comes from being the bar-none best piece of editor software anywhere.
I bought it, though I didn't have to.
I used to call japanese cartoons.. "anime." But then I became really good friends with several japanese international students. They called them "cartoons."
They also wanted to know why I called their cartoons "anime," to which I had no good response.
Just to point out that the foundation is NOT a charity--it's a charitable trust. All the money came from Bill.
Also to point out, it had $27 billion of his $50 billion worth. He's earmarked over 50% of his worth for charity, and has publically stated he intends to donate the vast majority (over 98%, probably) on his death.
What you're donating is admirable though, and I congratulate you as well.
Perhaps gates cause have used the money to set up special camps that could concentrate all the weaker, stupider, immoral, and diseased people in poorer nations into one place and then make them work (if possible) or die (if not).
..or he could invest $1 billion into getting the estate tax removed. Or into emigrating to russia, and having the russian governemnt declare the "no tax for gates law."
Instead he plans on donating almost all of it, and leaving his children small (relatively) inheritances. Good for him. Good for gates. Good for the world.

Let's keep our heads on. People who don't buy CDs don't get shot. Comparisons like that are not helpful; you might as well call them nazis.
When the market is saturated with wintel boxen, it takes very sly foxen with big coxen to prove them wrong.
But they want to see it anyway?

Please lighten up. I'm saying that it's a nice, poetic coincidence; I thought some might be interested. Thanks.

Stealing music and selling it?
Do you remember all those +5 comments saying "Thank God that AllOfMp3.com is standing up to the evil RIAA? What a great service?"
Yeah, me too.

It's not the lack of oil.
It's that seoul is within artillary range of the DMZ. The city is being held hostage; an invasion would flatten it in days.
The remarkable thing about all this is that the above humorous description could be.. correct.
it's completely relative whether we are moving or everyone else is moving, right?

$43 million to genetically re-engineer bacteria to grow a cheaper malaria drug.
115 million in 2001 to set up malaria research foundations
$168 million in 2003 for malaria research. Not to say that the linux cluster was not a noble thing, but gates may have even paid for it.
Then we could really have some super populations!
This could probably work in america too!
Conclusion: I hate you.
So what you're saying is that you don't want him to give the $750 million to save children's lives?
..or he could invest $1 billion into getting the estate tax removed. Or into emigrating to russia, and having the russian governemnt declare the "no tax for gates law." Instead he plans on donating almost all of it, and leaving his children small (relatively) inheritances. Good for him. Good for gates. Good for the world.
ohnoes!
But only Apple has the click-wheel!
