I'm not sure about world-wide, but it is true for North America.
The total amount of large-tree standing timber in the US has increased by 30% since 1950. US forestlands covered 732 million acres in 1920; today they cover 747 million acres.
Would the SNES game "Zelda, Link to the past" be as good if the game ended after you saved Zelda from the dungeon?
At the same time however tetris would have been pointless if each block took 3-4 hours to fall. (Complete with FFX-like three minute cutscene as the block locked in place.)
So crabs are dying, So what? Crabs die all the time. All animals do. They are then eaten by other animals. Circle of life, man. Frankly I think the traps deserve medals for providing food for the small toothy fish.
Down with the Crustaceans! Up with the Actinopterygii!
I calculate on and off topicness based on the post I reply to. So long as it is nominally on topic and I am addressing valid subjects it raised it is still in the topic of that thread. (Or at least that is my opinion, and that is how I mod.)
The GPL is not communism. You recieve code and in return you contribute any changes you make.
Quid pro quo. Something for something.
If you did not have to recontribute or you had no choice in the matter it would be closer to communism.
This is similar to the "ghost traps" crab trapproblem. Crabs enter abandoned crab traps. The crabs die. More crabs enter the traps to feed on the dead ones, then they die. An endless cycle.
In the grand overall scheme of things how is this a problem? Eventually either the traps fill up or other animals start eating the crabs and getting out.
Meanwhile videos have shown that crabs CAN get out of traps quite easilly they just don't because it is easy for them to find food there. (Wish I could find that old link.)
Communism on any scale large enough that you can't know everybody's names requires a powerful overhead authority, be it a religious deity or a big brother type governmental authority, to ensure that people do not begin to slack off due to lack of direct reward and punishment for their efforts.
How do you think your employers afford the minimum wage? They hire less people, and they increase prices. Which explains why Europe's economy only has 2.4% growth compared to America's 6.2% growth.

Notice there it says the golden door, not the back window. Legal immigration is perfectly fine. Illegal entry is not.
Nah broadband all the way.
A telephone is just a telephone, but a cell phone is a portable communication device.
Welcome to the world of tommorrow.
Bah real men simulate modem signals and email their friends.

Umm... I hate to bust your conspiracy bubble, but...

Area 51 isn't filtered.
Actually I heard from your mom that you use windows ME. So I think that you have been punished enough for your misdeeds.
As for how I know your mom, well, lets just say that a lot of people do.
Print out the PDF and glue it to the screen?
Exactly.

It is all about balance.
Long games might have more time to suck, but short games have less time to be worth the money you pay for them.
The best balance is games that can be beaten quickly, but take long times to complete 100%.
I still don't see the problem.

So what you are saying is that a acorn never becomes a tree because once it is a tree it is no longer an acorn?

That is because slashdot is moderated by monkeys and monkeys like bananas.

Thus communism easilly leads to totalitarism.
Why do you think this movie is book one?
So Long retroactively inserted the dolphins into the time frame of book one. This movie covers that basic time frame.
Perhaps instead it will be a trilogy in fourty-two parts, thus completing the circle.
Because Emmanuel Goldstein runs the republican party, and he is double plus ungood. Therefore anything the republicans do is double plus ungood.
Bush is always on TV with the republican's ridiculous duckspeak. He is nothing like our glorious politicians who can properly duckspeak.
Haven't you been watching the two minute hates?
I think I need to report you to Miniluv.
(The above was humor, but near the end I think I scared myself with the analogy.)
Other than the loser, but who cares about him anyway. (I'm serious. You lose a presidential race and your political career is OVER.)
I want to open source them so we can fix that dang human stupidity bug that we have been working around for a few thousand years.
The original Marvin was a prop in one of the scenes.
Also a huge scanned image of Douglas Adam's head was one of the planets they were making.
So long and thanks for all the fish is the most likely reason for any dolphin related scenes.
Minimum wage means nothing.

Hate to tell you, but any history you have America shares. It might not have happened here, but it happened to my ancestors as much as it did yours.
The US is the longest running continuous government in the modern world.
