People can have many different beliefs, this is the entire point of the FSM. That those beliefs should stay in people's homes and churches, and that science should stay in the classrooms, is the secondary point.
While I actually do agree with you that science shouldn't include ID (I can't even see how you could spend more than a day studying ID in science class), I am disturbed by your comment of faith belonging in homes and churches. Can not faith also be expressed in public?
The important bit that the granparent was saying in the quote you selected is that faith should not be in the classroom. Otherwise you end up with even more arguments such as which religion and which branch of a given religion should be taught. There are too many religions and variations on them to try to teach them all and there places better suited for those types of teachings like at churche and at home.
In brief, Atari was split-up in 1984 following the market crash. Time Warner kept the company's coin-op (arcade) division while selling off its home console and computer divisions to Jack Tramiel (former head of Commodore). Time Warner-owned Atari became Atari Games Corp. while the Tramiel-owned Atari became Atari Corp. Atari Games was sold to arcade giant Williams/Midway the early 90's, while Atari Corp. failed with its Jaguar and Lynx machines and merged in 1996 with JTS, a hard disk manufacturer. Finally, Hasbro came along in 1998 and purchased Atari Corp. for a mere $5 million, and and released a slew of revamped classic Atari hits for contemporary game machines and PCs. Hasbro fell on hard times and sold off its entire interactive group (including Atari) to French-owned Infogrames Entertainment. Similarly, Midway was affected by the downturn in the coin-op market and has exited from the arcade business -- which spelled the end of the Atari and Bally brand names in the arcades.
Don't expect Infogrames-owned Atari to bring out a videogame machine anytime soon -- if not forever. With multinational conglomerates such as Sony and Microsoft vying for console supremacy, it's highly doubtful that there will be room for another contender...
Guantlet is a Midway title (something about the difference between Atari's Arcade and Atari's Console divisions being split up). If you'd like Guantlet purchase Midway Arcade Treasures
My laptop hibernates when I shut the lid. It pops right back up when I open it. I watch DVDs, etc. It's all good. It works like the OP says it should.
By your description the hibernation mode on my laptop must not be working right then. When I tell it to hibernate, it goes into an alternate version of a shutdown, storing all the memory states to the HD, while stating that it's preparing to hibernate for nearly 1 minute. (Certinaly not a quick sleep mode.)
To wake it up again is a lot like booting, except that it puts me back where I was when I told it to hibernate. (Certainly does not pop right back up.)
Honestly, what I think you are describing above isn't Hibernatemode but Stand-by mode.
Without this, what gives you any right to use the software?
I think you really need to read Title 17:
Sec. 117. - Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs
(a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy. -
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided:
(1)
that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner, or . . . .
but the damage that my word of mouth is going to do will be 100x the cost of that coupon.
For the most part, that's bullshit. Say you tell 10 people, 7 will probably just think you had a bad day and the other 3 will stop going to the store. Chances are those 3 probably wouldn't have gone anyhow or will start shopping at the store again within a month, escpeically if the store offers something or some price they can't get elsewhere. Certinaly not "100x" damage or even 10x damge. The most damage it might cause, depending out how outrageous the customer is being, is a few lost immediate sales. If the customer is being beligerant no sales will be lost (except by those who would probably have been similar complainers).
I've seen it first hand. Use to work at a franchise DQ when we got bought up by another owner. In all of our health inspections prior to the new owner our scores were always 98%-100%, but with new owner they dropped to 70%-80% (he was storing casisters of soda in the employee's restroom). I got fired for complaining about our low health scores and tried encouraging others to not eat there because of the health scores. Out of 50+ people I think I might have convinced one person of the health safty concerns I had with the store (then again, maybe I came of like a zealot, I don't know).
The best I could say is that in the short lived Spider-Man 2099 comic book, spinnerettes grew as part of the mutation for that particular Spider-Man.
According to IMDB: James Cameron wrote a treatment for this film, over the years, as the rights to the character jumped between companies, nearly all his ideas were scrapped except for the biological web-shooters.
Also from IMDB: In the comics, Peter Parker designed and made Spider-Man's synthetic spider web and the mechanical wrist guns that fire it. In the movie he shoots the web from his own body. Director Sam Raimi answered the protests of comic book fans saying that it was more credible to have Peter shoot web this way than for a high school boy to be able to produce a wonder adhesive in his spare time that 3M could not make.
How about asking yourself the same question when it comes to the plethora of ways to prepare food?
The only problem that eating solves is nourishment, but yet people eat a variety of foods. Some foods taste better than others. Some people taste foods differently than other people, yet we only really need it for nourishment.
Any project started by a programmer or group of programmers is to fill some need, which may only be personal. Like food, we like variety and sometimes want something different or better or the combo of the two. If the creator (chef or programmer) like what they have done, they might want to share with the rest of the world.
The problem any software project sovles is self interest. It doesn't need to be anything more than that.
In Washington State, it is *against the law* for a store to accept the return of a software product.
Can you state where this is listed the RCW? If it is true, then EB and GameStop are both violating the law. I highly doubt they are breaking any law regarding the return of software.

It's not that The Sims has online play, it's that it has an online component: a huge amount of downloadable content.
Yahoo had chat rooms specifically for minors. Yahoo had chat rooms that make it easy for predators to find their victims.
Think of Gattaca for ways people could discrimiate.
