Tamala2010's probably the best such film I've seen - the entire film was animated by only two people using Adobe products. It actually looks quite impressive, for its unusual animation style; it's almost completely in black and white and emulates a 1950s style.
Further than that, even. Simba was originally white, and has been referred to at least once by Disney employees as Kimba. Furthermore, one of the Disney animators apparently wore a home-made Kimba/Leo costume to a Disney party and one of the voice actors originally thought that he was being cast in a remake of the Jungle Emperor/Kimba television series. There's quite a bit of evidence that they were fully familiar with Jungle Emperor. There's a good article about this on KimbaWLion.com.
You speak as if they haven't already stolen in-copyright ideas. The Lion King was stolen quite obviously from Osamu Tezuka's Jungle Emperor, although not nearly as intelligent as Jungle Emperor was. I shouldn't be surprised to see them try something like that again.
Although you have a point with the EULA issue, the case may be that the RIAA didn't use the official client and thus never agreed to the license in the first place; the main fault would be with the creator of the hacked client, which may not be the RIAA.
Your general point reminds me of Brodingnag in Gulliver's Travels, in which laws may be no longer in words than the number of letters in their alphabet; this prevents the legal system of England which the king is so shocked to hear about, in which writing and enforcing the laws is given to those who benefit most from making them hard to understand.
The Canadian editions of Pratchett's books are identical to the British editions; it might prove less expensive for you to purchase from Canada instead.;3
XBox -- Everyone's got a PS2. Sorry. Putting a P3-700 in a box with a harddrive and a TV-out running a stripped down windows kernel and DirectX doesn't count as "innovation". That's called "building a computer that plugs into the TV". And Sony's done it better.
Commodore beat them to it years ago, with the Amiga CDTV and CD32.;b
That's not the only way, necessarily. My mother is a French professor; even her fourth-year students are easily distinguishable from published sources, which makes the sudden jump in apparent writing capability a clear sign of plagiarism.
There's a further problem for some old colour television shows... colour degradation. For instance, complete* 16mm reels of Kimba the White Lion (from its 1966 American television run) have been found, but the stock used for all existing copies of that dub has faded horribly, most of the blue and green fading out of the image. Some scenes are barely recognizeable as their original scenes because the red is so predominant and the other colours almost non-existent.
* Some parts of the alternate dub of episode 1 are missing, and other alternate episode dubs/cuts may be missing
Bother, I should have considered that the 0-score parent I was replying to wouldn't be visible. x_X At any rate, films cost a lot more than "nothing" to make.
Actually, scientists do seem to care about that. There was worry that the Galileo spacecraft might contaminate Europa, which may have life, so it was crashed into Jupiter, which doesn't.
Sierra had some nice ones; their PCjr version of King's Quest was pretty nice, and their PCjr port of Game Arts' PC-88 game Silpheed came reasonably close to matching the original PC-88 version.
If paper advertising came in the sheer bulk that spam does, filling my porch if I'm gone for a week and causing the post office to start burning my mail instead of delivering it, I'd dislike it as much as I dislike spam.
There's no "smaller disc," since both the arcade NAOMI version and the Dreamcast version were on GD-ROM, which has lower capacity than the Dreamcast.;b
Ikaruga is essentially an unofficial sequel to Radiant Silvergun on the Sega Saturn, also by Treasure, and takes its polarity system from their own Saturn platform/shooter Silhouette Mirage.

Ah, but I own patents on |, -, v, \ and /. Pay up.

Mzilla runs just fine in KDE on my system. The same is true for GIMP, AbiWord and Gaim, all of which I use regularly without problems.

Mod parent up; grandparent has no idea what he's talking about.

That depends on the LPs; a couple of fairly rare ones I bought recently cost me 10$ USD each.
Apple has had similar failures that should be remembered, too. The Pippin likely cost them a lot of money, and sold immensely poorly.

I think you missed his joke. ^.~ If both techniques were tried at the same time, as he suggests, the plan wouldn't work very well.

Vib-Ribbon came out in Europe; if you have access to a television/monitor that can do PAL, you can play it in English.
Your hand doesn't count. ;b
*giggles* The calculator mousepad is a lot nerdier; go for it. ^.~
Alt-F2, then type kcalc and hit enter. If you have KCalc installed, which you probably do, that should bring up a workable calculator.
