It looks like to me that the lottery ticket is printed on thermal transfer paper- in which case ironing it would turn the side with the number on it completely black.
That one makes the most sense to me- I could almost see someone trying to iron out a crumpled ticket.
So when are they going to cut off donations for the DosBox project? (http://dosbox.sf.net) Or ZSNES? (http://www.zsnes.com/index.php?page=donate) Or even Wine? (http://www.winehq.com/site/contributing#wpf) Come on, folks, this is ridiculous.
Not really. Google has a large team of developers, and they are probably capable of forking preexisting GPL code under the GPL2. And as for the custom Linux kernel they use, don't they already make the changes available?
I think if Lego wants to increase their profits, they should drop *everything* in their current product line, then go back to, say, 1987, and reissue every set from that year. Next year, they can do 1988 etc. I'd buy a lot more Lego if they did this.
I think the decline of lego began when the first glut of star wars sets were released-- sure, the first ones they did were surprisingly good, but it set a precedent for future years(meaning right now). I don't think I've bought any new Lego since 2000 or so, but I have made several purchases at Bricklink, which is sort of an eBay for Lego.
I agree; however, the primary opposition to the Linux movement is the fact that it's hard to learn. So, as much as I'd like to see people use unix correctly, as you say, I think there is also a need for a user-friendlier version for the casual user, without the weight that lindows throws around.
Thanks to blender's python interface, you can write import/export scripts for just about any format.
This guy has written the exporter you're looking for... along with an OBJ exporter, quake2 md2, quake3 md3, and doom3.

That might make life interesting for Google

You also forgot to mention PyTexture, IMO one of the cooler projects to come out of SoC. qwe
That doesn't care? OMG! Someone, somewhere, might have read the freakin' book before its release!!!! It's the end of the world as we know it!!!!!
Who cares?
She's also reported to have voted in the last presidential election in OH.
Multiple times, in fact.
that sounds like a very small chunk of adults to perform such a study on.

So the problem isn't the protection but the perpetuity. I get it now.
..."seemingly perpetual protection."
Isn't that the point of copyright laws? to protect the author/creator/composer/whatever?
...I (or rather my dad) has the original rulebooks, priced at $10 and illustrated with cheesy line drawings. It's come a long way.
