    You always put the date after a copyright followed by the name of the holder.

    http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#fnv


    The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all the following three elements:

    1. The symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright," or the abbreviation "Copr."; and

    2. The year of first publication of the work. In the case of compilations or derivative works incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the compilation or derivative work is sufficient. The year date may be omitted where a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful article; and

    3. The name of the owner of copyright in the work, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner.

    Anytime we do we are attacked as hypocrites by the extreme left.

    A 100% increase however means that while the usage was at 100% it has now increased from that by 100% to 200%.

    As for ambiguousness the story said that they were up 237% not up [b]to[/b] 237%. They were very clear on the fact that this was an increase.

    I would like to see them hook in a wireless system, and then use it to its full potential.

    • Wireless controllers
    • wireless video out
    • wireless networking


    Just plug it into a power outlet, plug a reciever into the TV video in, stick the game in, and play.

    Add features so you can walk around with a controller, and sync up with consoles with a line of sight infrared beam.

    Why go through the trouble of making them surrender when you can just disable their voluntary muscle control?

    Really I doubt that anyone would want soldiers to be able to be remote controlled. That introduces far to large of a possible security breach for it ever to get past the drawing stages, and it would definately reduce the number of people willing to volunteer for the military.

    I guess you could force conscription, but conscripted soldiers really suck for today's warfare because of the higher education requirements for operating the most effective tactical gear.

    If you just want a body that you can control, animals would be better than humans in most cases.
    Reptiles in particular would be good at stealth work due to cold-bloodedness masking them from infrared goggles.

    Not to mention the military applications of sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads.
