I haven't done the legal research myself, but from what I've read it is possible for a homosexual couple to have some of the rights of marriage - for many, many times the cost and still without the ability to have some rights heterosexual couples do. Note that those rights have nothing to do with children or childbirth - why should homosexual couples have to pay so much more, go through so much more effort, and still be denied some things?
Actually, the designer just named it after his favourite kind of apple. After he left and Jobs wanted to remove his name, it was almost renamed to Bicycle.
It's really not that hard to get into gated communities. This summer, I was in the car with my grandfather and a colleague of his; we were looking for the gated community she lived in and, when we reached the guard post, told him we were there to bring her to her house. He let us in without questions, and it was only when we found ourselves inside that we realized that we had the wrong community - we weren't at all where she lived. The guards are good for show, but questionable for actual security.
The best I can come up with is a book. If you buy a book, can you take pen and paper and write out the entire contents of the book in case the book gets damaged/burnt/destroyed?
I would argue that yes you can. But I would also add that you should not transfer ownership of that COPY to another person without also transferring ownership of the original and all copies you have made.
That is in fact precisely how American copyright law already is. You are allowed to make a backup for your own personal use as long as you don't transfer the backup without also transferring the original. The tricky bit is the DMCA's additions, including making it illegal to crack copy-protection in order to *make* that backup.
From what I've read, that actually works. It happened to a man who was badgered by bills for 0.00$ - and who finally was fed up and sent a cheque for that amount, which made their computer shut up.
My experience with that CD has been different. I have a friend who bought it, not knowing about the protection, and wanted to rip it. After trying for hours over the course of many days, he finally gave up and was unable to make a backup of the CD he legally bought; he's been unable to remove the DRM driver from the hard drive, no matter what he's tried. He's extremely irritated and is boycotting the label's albums now.
Support of Al Qaeda? That's simply not true. Al Qaeda couldn't stand Hussein's regime and wanted nothing to do with him. Hussein's government was secular, and Al Qaeda disapproved rather heartily, since they were in favour of an islamic government.
With a content system that is dependant on and monitored by a third party, I can't see anyone wanting to use this for very long.
How exactly does this differ from the other consoles? The other company also control the games released and will often refuse to license something if they disapprove for whatever reason.
The image was created in about 1997 or 1998; 9/11 hadn't happened yet. You're right, however, that it's interesting that no one seems to have added it.

If you write a story, and accidental changes make it better, wouldn't that indicate that you're not a very good writer?
No, it just indicates that you're a writer. It's fairly par for course. A bad writer would be someone who wouldn't *realize* qhat that the accidents made it better, which does once again go back to Lucas.
Once more, I am completely aware of that. The person before was the one asking about the game, not me; I merely pointed out that Google's only result was on that page, which therefore implied that the game did not exist. Do calm down; this isn't worth getting nearly this excited/angry about.
To my knowledge, libraries are fine for music, but DVDs are not covered either way. The tax on blank CDs (which likely doesn't cover blank DVDs yet) goes only to the music industry. Only if a similar levy to go to the movie industry is introduced is it likely that it would be made legal to copy DVDs.
Libraries tend to have otherthings that are often considered to be not appropriate for children. It's not the job of the library to censor what's available.
I don't have the article I've read it in with me to cite, but that is actually true. Libraries have even been throwing out the lovely clothprinted books newspapers printed specifically for libraries because badly-done microfilm is supposedly good enough. In some cases, the pictures are simply unviewable.
Religion doesn't *have* to be that, you know. There are religions which suggest critical thinking. Go back to St. Augustine in Christianity, and you'll find his *recommendation* to read non-Christian works. He was absolutely against a proclamation that banned the reading of non-Christian books by Christians.
I could well be wrong about that; I haven't seen Cool World myself, I fear.
You're absolutely right that rotoscoping is good sued sparingly; I recall it being striking in Wizards, with its rotoscoped World War II footage.
This is basically a way of partially automating the process of rotoscoping, which goes back to the 1930s. It's not generally used because the resulting animation looks choppier and less cartoon-like; it's the reason why Ralph Bakshi's later films (Lord of the Rings, Cool World, American Pop) generally are considered not to look as good as his previous films: they were almost entirely rotoscoped.
I was surprised to see recently that the computer version of Sega's Puyo Puyo Fever is a Mac exclusive, at that - they're not releasing a Windows version at all.
I don't have children, no, but you'll note that I didn't comment on whether schools *should* teach morality - just that they already do, so this isn't anywhere outside the normal.
Of course it is. It always has been. Schools have punished children who act in ways deemed inappropriate; schools have had education about things considered correct and incorrect, too. Surely you know that the schools have anti-drug education, too, which is morality the government is trying to teach to the children. It's part of the very purpose of the schools; they're not just there to teach simple facts.

It's hardly new. Monty Python's amusing intermission aside, Spartacus, in 1960, had an intermission due to its considerable length (196 minutes).

I understood it completely and that is in fact the very page I was referring to.
The one result Google turns up refers to it as a hypothetical game. Presumeably, it currently doesn't exist and may not ever.

There definately are human errors, but there are also deahts resulting from computer failures.
