Art has always existed and always will, regardless of whether or not copyright exists; however, the vast majority of full-time artists already barely make a living. Without any copyright law, only the rich or people with rich patrons could afford to be full-time artists.
W3C standards are recommendations made by a private body, not government regulations. Besides, if they were the latter, chances are they'd suck a lot more. If the government did force compliance to its standards, it would be giving de facto legal power to a body neither elected by the people nor appointed by anyone in the government.
Actually this troll (not this particular instance, but the same idea) was the only time I've been tricked into goatse. Those trollers sure found a way to get them nerds into a frenzy.
Actually I once impressed a girl by shouting "Forth, Eorlingas!" as I crossed the street. On a related note, I was asked to HS prom in Elvish. Everything thinks this is either the coolest thing ever, or (in the minds of most people) the most incredibly lame thing possibly conceivable. I'll let you decide:)
There's nothing wrong with not liking Victorian love stories, but saying that classic literature bears no relation to the modern world is ludicrous. That's the only reason why people still read such books. People still have the same strengths and shortcomings and feelings and problems as they did since the days of the ancient Sumerians. Mark Twain especially is incredibly topical today--the very fact that people want to ban him proves this.
There are still fatuous people who want to ban Huck Finn because they think it is racist. Am I angry? Am I appalled? No, I am amused. The morons who want to ban books like this are the exact same kind of morons that Mark Twain was making fun of. The man is showing people for the asses they are from the grave--you have to give him props for that.
The parents get to impose limits because they are responsible for the child. The child does not enjoy the same rights as an adult because he is still developing his rational faculty, therefore it is both the obligation of his parents to nurture him and their right to to dictate within reason what he may or may not do. If parents had no control over a child, they could not be responsible for him.
There is a recent re-release by the Murnau Foundation which has a bit more footage and is set to the original score by Gottfried Huppertz. I was lucky enough to see it in the theater, but you can get it on DVD from Kino.
The second rule of/. moderation is that you ask to be modded down if you want to be modded up. So if I ask you to mod me up, I'm sarcastically asking to be modded down. Which means I really want to be modded up! Meta-sarcasm!
They didn't mention Metropolis? That would be like having a "top-ten films of all time" without Birth of a Nation. Hell, Fritz Lang wasn't even racist. But in all seriousness, try naming a sci-fi film that doesn't take something from Metropolis.
Hymn intentionally generated tagged m4a files so as not to encourage piracy, but then Apple decided that iTunes would not play such files. In reality, Apple is encouraging piracy by doing this since people now have to use a workaround which does NOT discourage redistributing the file.

Not until long after George Lucas dies, if he has any say in it...
404'd!!
What if aforementioned grease fighting crystals are extremely disrespectful to dirt?
The vast majority of China's population is rural.
Um...Jason Jones maybe? Of course these days he's all aloof and doesn't hide his personal e-mail address in the games. :)
You're thinking of beer. Or at least Ben was. Of course Ben was a total party animal.
When I instantiate NSCoder it doesn't encrypt anything either :)
"God, no! Even the slightest breeze could--"
"Invincible..."

A good amusement park for the future would be a planet where they stopped its rotation very quickly, sending everyone on it careening off.

Christian: "C.S. Lewis describes fantastical situations such as beasts speaking which clearly makes him an evil Satanist."
Satanist: "C.S. Lewis peddles evil pro-Christian propaganda implicitly to young children--with school approval!"

But will they ever release their Rhapsody? :)
Redmond, start your photocopiers! Now...put them into reverse!
What's that? Neither has parachutes? Damn you, Bungie!
