George Lucas actually does own the copyrights to the Star Wars universe, so he authorizes everything that is written and created.
But, by licensing IBM to use Unix (if they ever did) does not give them the rights to software written by IBM for Unix, Linux, AIX, or whatever. It would be like Microsoft owning the copyright for every piece of software written for Windows b/c you had to purchase a Windows license as your OS so you could develop for it.
The reason it is more "dangerous" to get off the lander than being on the surface, is that once you are on the surface, if you stop moving, at least you could possibly collect soil samples, data, do analysis, etc. From the ramp, all you can do is take pretty pictures.
This is what I believe would be happening. Using cell-shading, you now can make 3d stuff appear in 2d. To do away with handrawn animation is not necessarily bad. If you have seen Lion King, the scene w/ all of the water buffalo stampeding, the buffalo were actually all drawn by computer. To produce cels and hand drawn animations gets very expensive. Especially considering that you now have to preserve those. So I would agree that they are moving from handrawn images over to computer drawn images, though it is still all 2d images in the end.
No, they aren't seizing the property. They are mereley requesting for it to be handed over, otherwise they will pursue legal action. It's like if you stole my bike, i goto your house prove to you it's my bike and you stole it. I then can ask you to give it back, and if you decline, then I call authorities who will force you to do so.
"The problem is a lack of highly educated workers willing to work for the minimum wage or lower in the U.S."
Isn't against the law to be paid less than minimum wage??? Granted restaurants, etc., get away with it, but if the tips received don't exceed minimum wage when added to a wage, then the employer has to pay the difference to the worker. And these "highly educated workers" had to pay some money to goto school and need something more than minimum wage to pay off their college loans. Yeah, there are people overseas that work for less, but cost of living is also a little lower in those areas. I think anyone can see that trying to live, and by live I mean paying for a house, bus tickets, etc. not living comfortably, off of minimum wage is extremely difficult to do.
It's a story about card counting and the huge production they created to get away with it. There is a chapter or two that goes in depth into how it all works, and those would be of the greatest math interest, while the rest describes how it all started and then all of the close calls they had, the parties, and how they got caught eventually.
Though it came out late last year, I wasn't able to read it until this year. Bringin g Down the House was a really cool book to read and was extremely interesting. The author created a great story around the true events.
Supposedly, Cox has a bandwidth limits of like 10GB of downloads a month. I know for a fact that for the past 6 months, I have definately exceeded that. And it's not necessarily illegal activity. I've d/led various linux ISOs for a Linux Installfest. I've downloaded "safe" music through mp3.com, dmusic.com, etc. I'm also always downloading new software to try out in Linux to see what's out there. Add this all to my regular surfing, and I wouldn't be suprised if I was over a "limit" of sorts. The thing is, I've never once received a letter, but other people I know have. I'm curious how they go about deciding who to send letters to.

The thing with supermarkets though is that they can't make things overcharge. Yes, mistakes do happen, it's an imperfect system, but once a year, grocery stores get a check up from the department of weights and measures (or so i think, could be someone else) and they have to get over 90% (or s/th high) of the items correctly scanned (over or under charged, it doesn't matter), otherwise they get in deep shit over it. So anything that happens at the supermarket is usually an honest mistake. That's why they'll give you the item free on things like pricing errors, whereas bestbuy will thank you for pointing out if you were mischarged, then ask you to pay the higher cost instead of the mistake that was lower.
I think you are missing his point. He has no problem paying for an EKG. He probably understands that there is an extra cost associated with getting an EKG done. What is problem is, is being charged for a fee over and above the cost of having the EKG done. The cost of having the EKG done should incorporate such things as maintenance, training, etc.
You want some of the nice nasa imagery then at Blue Marble then. They have some exteremely large earth pictures. I've downloaded the two halves a few years back, and ran into the same problem that photoshop couldn't handle imagery that large. Note: to get the BIG ones, you have to contact them, and they will give you an FTP site to snag the images off of.
I moved to Linux to get away from paying for software (for the most part). Now, if I was to buy one of these motherboards, assuming that Linux could still be used, now I'm going to finally have to pay a little licensing fee to Microsoft, through the motherboard manufacturer, which will make things more expensive. This is absolute crap!

If you want any of these pictures in a larger format, take a look here You really are just begging and pleading for a ./ing aren't you?
