But the PP's point was that having a robot learn just the movements does nothing to preserve the context. The idea that the culture is preserved even if the dance then dies out because some robot can go through the motions, is invalid.
Sure, having the robot learn it doesn't _hurt_ the culture, but it does nothing to protect it either, which was the claimed goal.
Except latin-1 lacks letters with a macron on top [my point being, it's not even clear what your pet romanization system is, regardless of whether it's valid for you to be claiming all others should be excluded]
If you're objecting to the "h" in "nihon" you have bigger problems.
THE STATEMENT, is a tautology - what you're doing is denying that there is continuous improvement - not that continuous improvement leads to perfection.
'The premise of Wikipedia is that continuous improvement will lead to perfection,' sniffed EB's executive editor, Ted Pappas. 'That premise is completely unproven.'
That premise is a tautology given the assumption that "perfection" is attainable by any means.
I think the problem is that some people here [you] are perceiving removal of anonymity as a procedural matter, others [OP] are viewing it as a punishment in itself.
The FAA mandates that laser light shows must register their locations and the lights cannot be directed above 3,000 feet. Lasers are also often used by construction companies to line up foundations.
How do you not direct a light at above 3000 feet? Unless it's horizontal [and even if then, the curvature of the earth can affect this], a straight line will reach any height.
At which it ceases to be an issue of blizzard owning the in-game items, and becomes an issue of blizzard using its ownership of the game _client software_ [or if it's in the TOS instead, the server] as a big stick to enforce compliance - it's not that they don't have a right to do it, it's that you're misconstruing what they're doing and _how_ they have that legal right.
Nice analogy - except, in the MMORPG case, the seller isn't selling anything he doesn't have control over - sure, the code itself is blizzard's property, but he's just selling an agreement to enter in code [which, absent the money changing hands, he has the unchallenged privilege to do] to transfer a pointer to an instance of that object from "his" player object to "your" player object.
your analogy would stand if it was legal for him to give you his neighbor's car but not for him to sell it to you.
Read my post in context - All i said is that it's not the FAA's business to protect the cell phone networks from interference, when the parent post seemed to think it was.
actually, moore's law says the transistors double every two years - the 18 months figure is a "performance" one based on transistors, clock speed, everything combined. [if i remember correctly]
Not the province of the FAA to regulate, though - I'll be glad to see this rule gone, since it's not their business. [The FCC is free to impose such regulations if they want.]
Actually, he's speaking of the fact that the angular speed is slower. Look up and see an airplane going at 220km/h or whatever - then look at a car going 100km/h on the highway - which appears faster?
[and, furthermore - not only is it only very slowly changing angle, it's changing distance even slower - the large radius with the small angular displacement accounts for most of the actual movement]
it doesn't work that way - once his first appearance falls out of copyright, others can use the _character_ for their works... Disney knows this, and this is why they keep lobbying for copyright extension - do you think they'd bother if they could do it themselves by just making a new movie every eighty years?
Because his first appearance is copyrighted, he is copyrighted. Disney feels the need to protect this because trademarks don't provide, for example, protection from derivative works, protection from sharing of content not for a profit, etc.
Actually, this decision would seem to mean that if both direct endpoints of the cat5 cable are in the same state, it doesn't matter where the transmission is going.

Enterprise is the first series running the risk of being cut short What about the original? Wasn't that originally supposed to run five seasons?

If he "fixes" it to make sense [but possibly be wrong] it's _LESS_ likely to be corrected than the obvious error.
The aerodynamicists revised their assumptions - the question is, can encyclopedists do the same?

If you did it to Bush's website, you'd probably end up disappeared to guantanamo or something, though.
A fine is a tax you pay for doing wrong and a tax is a fine you pay for doing all right.
Then what's a levy?

wtf does that mean?

actually, you want 18 months * log[2](1.24) i.e. how often a 24% increase has to happen for it to double every 18 months

but we differentiate between the agent that passes messages and the person sending messages - why not have two verbs too?
I've never played HL2 at all - my point was - if they're so sure they're not vulnerable from a lawsuit, what are they afraid of?

This doesn't do what he asked for.

Or a tap on the handset line of a corded phone.
