If you move data from one point in the ROM to another, then your patch has the copyrighted material in it.
Horrible, horrible analogy. By this reasoning (which I'll summarize as "any substring of bytes from a copyrighted work is itself copyrighted") Linux violates Windows' copyright by being able to write to a hard disk.
Perhaps. Virtual currency, though, is more like a stock option - while yes, you can buy/sell those, do they actually have a taxable value until the option is exercised?
But what happens when you take that "in kind" and convert it to real money? It's a form of income. However, I don't think the government should tax something "in kind" if it is never converted.
Which is exactly what happens. It's similar to the laws on capital gains - you don't get taxed for those until you actually receive them. (If you got taxed for them when they happened, you'd have thousands or millions of micro-transactions to the IRS just for owning stock.)
Person A pays Person B to do a task in real life, and pays that person in virtual money. If the virtual money is converted to reall currency, sure, why shouldn't it be taxed? But, would it be legal to pay someone virtual money for a task done in real life? There's minimum wage laws and whatnot.
Minimum wage only applies to, in general, doing work for a company. (See all the 13-year-old babysitters getting paid $20 for 5-6 hours of babysitting for a fine example of this.) So: yes, it's legal, or as close to legal as you can get (as very few government agencies are going to crack down on someone paying their babysitter $3.50-$4/hr, for example).
Alternatively, you can look at it as payment "in kind" (see here, though admittedly it's very short) rather than in cash, which (if memory serves) isn't considered taxable because there's no exchange of money (either real stuff, or bits over a wire as in electronic funds transfers).
Keep in mind with that last that I am not a tax professional, nor do I even work at H&R Blockhead.
Just because we don't share mtDNA, there could have been human females impregnated by Neanderthal Males. That could have been the case. Plus there are some features in Neanderthals that have been seen in certain European / Eurasian populations.
This is especially true if we assume that the same rule that applies to the clock for mtDNA Eve for normal humanity (140k years back) relative to Y Adam for normal humanity (60k years back) applies to this relation as well. This would put the closest male common ancestor at about 280k years back...
Why don't you post YOUR real name if you're so concerned about openness?
Ah, but I do - at least, my first initial and last name.
Call it either a stunning lack of originality in forum/site logins or just a belief that anonymity is best left for imageboards with no redeeming value, but it's what I use everywhere (unless it's already taken).
By the way, if you're accusing us of theft, hacking, conspiracy to commit theft, or conspiracy to commit hacking (all of which you've implied), we have a right to confront our accuser, and so you must provide us with at least your name so we can perform proper research.
If particle masses were an additive quantity based on the mass of the Higgs, as your intuition seems to tell you, then as long as there are massless particles like the photon, then the Higgs would also have to be massless and, by induction, so would every other particle we observe.
Not necessarily. It's entirely possible for the Higgs particle to be massless and still provide mass for any particle with mass. For example, the mass of any hadron, based solely on adding the component real particles, is around 1.2% of the observed mass - indicating that massless particles (or non-real ones, which should effectively cancel out with sub-vacuum, negative-mass states under any conditions that actually make sense - yeah, yeah, I know, man was not meant to understand quantum mechanics) are thereby providing 98.8% of the mass somehow.
Speaking of movies that have been taken down for any reason, I think one hard drive should be required to have the entirety of Goatse: The Movie, Goatse II: Revenge of Goatse, Son of Goatse, and the like.
Basically, anything to purposely annoy Viacom while garnering amusement at their expense. "Dear God, I just... ohhhh, he's gonna be feeling THAT in the morning..."
Also, though I'm not going to be able to provide attribution (par for the course here) I thought the PS3 devkit was basically "install a PS3-compatible distro of Linux and use gcc"?
Why, Obama, why? Find a hosting service that hasn't shafted millions of innocents, or at least doesn't get openly castigated because it frequently does give its users the shaft for inane reasons. I'm not going to specifically suggest one (not a fan of slashvertising myself), but at least pick a better hosting service.
Actually, no, you don't need to increase the number of fans, because the number of fans required is a function of the total amount of heat produced, not the air volume.
Yeah, the overheating part could be solved by investing in more racks, and then putting half as many units on each rack.
This also allows for future throughput improvements from a single unit, and probably would cost less than the two days' downtime every overheat (racks are relatively cheap, time isn't).
Now THAT would be a trilogy worth making! (I know there were more than three, but surely you can guess the three I'm talking about.) I think you can expect something like this around the time that we see any of Jack L. Chalker's books turned into movies.
It figures - we get a thread about airships, it gets a good 150 replies, and not one of them even make a reference to breeding giant riding chickens that can be armored for conflicts.
Remember ROYGBV. Red stars are hotter, Yellow is ours, and Blue stars are cooler, and UV stars are the coolest! You have it backwards. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it produces.

Oh, balls to that.
You don't need to replace it - I see three movies mentioned there.

On behalf of hyenas, vultures, and wild dogs, I'm insulted.

Would you care to explain how a song is worth $9,000+ to anyone?
For that matter, would you care to actually be man enough to state your name for the record? It's not like it requires you to not post as an AC...

Oh, wait, yes you are. This post may safely be disregarded. We now return you to our regularly scheduled discussion of cosmology by Stan Lee.

In other words, when hell freezes over, baby.
Depends on where you are. It might be firing squad instead.
Rectum? I hardly even know 'em!
Sorry, he said "eliminate video games", not "increase oil profits".
Thanks for playing!

You know what happens when you get a bunch of nerds around a big box of dice. But, in case you didn't, roll 7d6 against Intelligence to find out.
