I'm not concerned with whether they are good people or bad people. Prison serves multiple purposes. You can look at it as a place to try to institutionalize people, so they won't do whatever they did when they get out, because they, in theory, won't want to go back. You can look at it as punishment.
None of those things really matter. Prison is, first and foremost, a place to put people away so they will be unable to do what they did again in society. I simply don't care about the other reasons. Looking at it from that perspective, you could probably put this person in a minimum security prison for a long time; I doubt he's being sent to San Quentin.
He won't get a dime of your money, because much less than a dime will be available to give to him after Holywood accounting is done with it.
You know who else won't? The other producers, most of who run charities. Like the following:
List of charitable causes of Producers of Ender's Game:
Gigi Pritzker http://www.forbes.com/profile/jean-gigi-pritzker/ Movie producer Jean "Gigi" Pritzker is one of 10 members of the extended Pritzker family on the Billionaires List.

My uncle is a horrible racist. The other day he asked for 100$ so he could get his car fixed. I gave him 100$, not to support his racism, but so he could get his car fixed.
OSC is a horrible homophobe. The other day he asked for a few pennies from my movie ticket so he could get more movies made, amd maybe even write more books. I gave him a few pennies, not to support his homophobia, but to support him getting more movies made.
Well, they aren't marketing their own flexible phone at the moment, possibly to see how they are received by people. But soon the market will be saturated with iScrolls.
The question Apple and others needs to figure out with components that do become flexible and foldable is specifically what such a device would look like. Would you unfold such a device? Unroll it? Do both? How would you take a rectangular object that sits in your pocket and make it larger every single time without fail?
The only answer is the iSCROLL!!! Coming soon to an Apple store near you!!!!!
Soon you will pull out a small device, the same size as an iphone, but with two tubes at either end. And on a whim, you will unroll these tubes, revealing a large horizontal screen, where you can read your internets!
BEHOLD!!! Cometh soon the iSCROLL! For all your iPapyrus needs!
The problem is that there are a significant amount of people in the U.S> who believe that some of the things Snowden leaked are harmful to the US. For example, he leaked that the U.S> was spying on specific Chinese Universities, to determine how they were hacking into our military and industrial computers. Now those universities know how to be more careful. It is unlikely they will stop trying to hack into us.
The problem Snowden has is that even if he "started a conversation" about U.S. intelligence, he still leaked a number of things that could easily be found to be harmful to the U.S. Even if 98% of the things he leaked were good things for the world to know, he will ALWAYS be at risk of being charged for the 2% of the things he leaked that are genuinely bad for the world to know.
This is asinine. Do you realize the literacy rate in these countries?
This is why a "library" is useless for these people. They have very little time to even go to school in the poorest parts of the world because they are spending their time trying to make a subsistence living. That is how our ancestors lived, and people were only able to go to school and concentrate and learn once they had food in their bellies.
Someone parachuting in, not with a library, but with the KNOWLEDGE the library contains, and the willingness and money to build the infrastructure for them is better.
If by "handout" you mean health care so that when they go to the hospital after getting their hand chopped off by a lawnmower, *WE* aren't stuck with the bill, then yes.
So, lets be honest about this. This is a web application. It is not software. It's a bunch of forms on a bunch of web pages that connect to a bunch of databases. And a whole shitload of that can be markup. FAQs, Privacy Policies, tons and tons of TEXT. Which can be called "code" if you stick a tag around it.

Nope.
Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.
The same could not be said for something like "Synthahol."
Not only did I google him, I youtubed him, and I was blown away. Truly, Thor should be replaced by this guy, and all would be well.

You know what this movie needed? A progressive rock track. Songs from Yes, Rush... would have been awesome.
Do you still have to grind to get anywhere? If so, I won't be back.
He isn't being paid for it. This has been pointed out a million times. He got his fees up front.
Well, yes, it can certainly be argued it was necessary to commit such an act after we had already been attacked.
And of course the generals had no way of knowing that Ender would try to blow up the damn planet!

Yeah! And cheaper too! And more convenient!

Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first.
Some rich people choose to use some of their money for charity, rather than to make more money. Deal with it.

I think they are actually 5-sided people who live in tents all the time or something.
tl; dr
Put much after a sentence fragment much?
God I hate this trend. Putting "much" after a half-developed question does not make the question cool. I wish this would die.
And now I'm sure someone will respond with something like "Sensitive much?"
I'd pay to watch that. What of it?
Yes they are. And if you already have health insurance you aren't forced to buy.
