I suspect there would be much less desire and money to buy pretty visualisations if folks don't have vast MP3 collections... downloadable cover art... etc...
All it would do is show MPAA that the consumer base has cash, and that they can "monetize" TPB via the courts... Does this sound familiar? RIAA pulled this stunt with Napster back in the day. I'm curious why they feel prison is appropriate however, when a shutdown was an acceptable result with Napster...
I like that idea. The problem with that is you're more likely to be funding a 30-year corporate investment than genuinely offsetting the pollution. Eg $1000 charged to consumer returns $30,000 when the "crop" is harvested. That's a brilliant scheme if you have a car factory... until the wood market is flooded, I guess.
This is probably the edge case. Probably not a public performance but there may be circumstances where it would be considered one - for example, if it was widely advertised and a large number of non-residents were there.
It's an "over the edge case" in my experience. We got busted for this years ago at my hall of residence, and the audience was entirely composed of student residents + a couple of RAs. That's right, the hall was no longer allowed to rent a DVD (or tape back then?) for the locals to watch in the main TV/rec room. Yet ff a student rented one, and watched it in a smaller floor TV room, that seemed to be OK...
FWIW, I agree with your sentiment completely. GPs reason for not going further is, quite simply, a cop out - It evokes images of tenured professors crying, "Whaaa! It's too hard!":-) Dammit, this is the stuff that progress is made from... progress that can change our understanding of the Universe in a significant way. The implications of it are mind-boggling.
No imagination, kids these days. How about using another bit or two for the electro-expansive touch overlay to provide tactile buttons? (braille styles). Consistent UI design could mean the tactile part could be determined from the display itself (eg, buttons have shaded x on lower, y on higher). Lots of ways that this could be done.
Dude, you're probably not the target market. This ain't a mass-market product, and if you can't afford two cars (or a train ticket) you probably can't afford this ride.
Actually, it does look a lot like a current Jaguar or maybe a Mondeo. However, it looks nothing like a Toyota, Peugeot, Fiat, Porsche, Chrysler, or any number of cars produced in the last 20 years.
Yes, it's probably sexist to say it but women have some innate ability to debug code. I've seen this happen too much professionally to think of it as a trend. The evolutionary origins? I can't explain.
She's also damn hot. There's just something about a nice ra^H^H smile and a high IQ...
You can even mount it on some sort of heat sink or antifreeze-filled copper plating to get better performance (PV cells work better when cool.)
If you're going to the trouble of doing that, it makes sense to transfer that heat to the hot water system. Say a pre-heating system on the hot water cylinder input, for example.

Almost. It's really for the state putting the people corporations don't like in jail.
Indeed. Look at all the famous Swedish organisations listed in the summary as being represented by the prosecution!
Nope, it's really for the state putting the people that foreign corporations don't like in jail.

Mini-PCI card? How about doing it on the GPU instead?
I'd rather cut off my penis with a rusty butter knife.
Meh. That's so 2008.
If they think this is offensive, wait until someone makes a game where you get to eat babies.
Any yet, somehow, nobody has posted a link to such a thing.
Home of fish and chips.
No, it's Tatarstan. Home of candy and fizzy-drinks, where toothbrushes fear to tread.
I would expect them to all get stolen in 60 seconds.
You mean, Gone, right?
Put physical buttons of to the side of the screen to press. How difficult was that?
And yes, the drift excuse sounds like B.S.
+1 Informative. Except the bit about not being able to track the ARL... since when has encryption been unbreakable?
Imagine if the GOF patented their design patterns. :-)
We'd be fucked.

It's an engineering term for a remote controlled robotic arm, derived from a Heinlein story.

Yes, but what good is such a thing if you can never find it? It will never catch on.
Just figured out my reply: "Dear - it's all relative... "
Nah man, don't go bringing her family into it.

It'll be like getting stuck in an expensive hen house.
That's a good point too. How would you stop their periods syncing up?
Simulating a mission to Mars..... Is that like 'Space Camp' for adults?
Emphasis on the 'Camp'. Learning to deal with women in the crew would be invaluable for future missions (hint: make sure there's enough to go around).
The hell with that. I'm just thinking I'm one step closer to building my very own Number Eight.

Oh, and http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/16/1446238. TFTFY.
What's the statute of limitation here? They may very well have to convict themselves for past crimes.
