Art as an act of self expression is a very modern viewpoint, not older than 100 years or so.
Seriously? So you don't think people didn't whittled sticks into the shape of animals,wrote songs, stories, and poems about things that happen in their lives, or draw pictures of their surroundings when it was too dark, or wet to work the feilds until sometime after the civil war?
It's called folk art, and has been around for a long time. There are people in all walks of life who do not have a patron paying them to prepare works that the patron wants who paint, draw, write, and sculpt for no other reason that to amuse and occupy themselves when all of the other things they have to do are done.
The correct clever human response to such thing is to punch the setter in the face; they have broken the formal compact of crossword setting by using a non-word/non-phrase as an answer.
Exactly. I like doing crosswords, but it hate it when they do stupid shit like that. I really hate it when the answer is two words and there's no indication of it.
There is no way that simply removing the credits, and anything that identifies who the original producer of a movie was, is enough of a change to classify it as a derivative work. It's not the titles and the cover that are "the work." It's the movie itself.
Therefore the whole thing would just about have to be re-edited to show your friends vision of what could be made using the same bits of footage for it to be derivative of the original. Otherwise it's just the original without giving credit.
The fact that there are many companies using the ARM architecture is exactly what keeps it from becoming a monopoly.
Just look at the first root word in monopoly. Mono, meaning one. In the context of market, and business it means one company. Now if all, or most of the companies producing ARM based chips colluded to fix prices then that would be illegal, but it wouldn't be a monopoly, it would be collusion.
Anyway being a monopoly isn't illegal. Using that status to leverage your way into other markets is.
AutoCAD has been using this since at least the the late 80's when I first started using it.
Pull down menus at the top, a sidebar menu that is somewhat contextual, and a command line at the bottom. All surrounding the drawing area in the middle.
Of course most of the people I see using AtoCAD these days never used it before it became a Windows based program and are always clicking through menus. While I keep my left hand on the keyboard to type commands, or their shortcuts.
As the owner of an '87 Jaguar XJ6 I have to agree with you. There are so many relays tucked away in odd, hard to reach locations sometimes I wish the ECU's were more complex back then.
Although my car still has its original wiring harness smoke installed, it does have some electrical gremlins that I'm having a devil of a time tracking down.
As a So. Californian who now lives in So. Maryland. I have to say that people really over reacted out here.
I didn't even notice it until the window blinds started rattling.
Writing, compiling, and debugging code is not the only definition of real work.
Opening an email, reviewing a document, making a couple of edits, and responding is "real work" for a lot of people.
Even Autodesk has an app out that allows some editing of basic geometry of existing dwg files on an iPad. I don't know how well it works as I just read about it the other day, but it is something I'm going to look into.
I've got an old Luxo lamp iMac with a G4 that I don't use since getting the Mini. But can't seem to part with it despite it just sitting on the floor of my studio.
Be careful on the mini purchases. System specs for Lion calls for minimum processor of core 2 duo. Early core solos need not apply. Sadly my poor old mini doesn't make the grade.
I did this once as well. The joker ambushed me as I was taking my groceries in. The guy had no idea what Taoism was, and his only response after I finished explaining to him was. "But what if you're wrong?" My response was to pose his own question back him, and finish unloading my groceries.
With all the streaming out there however, you can get by listening to what you want for the most part.
Exactly this. Most of the time at work and when driving for more that 10 min. I have Pandora streaming. I hear a lot of bands that I'd have never heard before. Then I often (gasp) buy their music later.
This is why I don't understand why the "music industry" is so against streaming services. It's a hell of a way to get the acts they're not pushing sales up without taking air time away from their golden children.
My calendar, and contacts have been synced between different computers, and devices for the last few years via iMac/MobileMe. Never had to hook one up to the other for that.

Maybe the thing that should be pulled from an arse is your head.
It was a joke, which either you didn't get it, or your the troll.

While not a car analogy, trains are still transportation so it counts. And it was good too.
I call horseshit on this one.

I think you meant c-shells.

Yeah, like he said. Geeks.
Too bad the Atlantians didn't think of this.

I feel a folk style organizing song coming on. What's the IT equivalent of silichosis?

How are those two things even remotely related?
The Pilot Razorpoint pens would work quite well on anything.
It's a kickass power cruiser from Yamaha from back in the 1980's.

That joke was around a long time before Emo Philips. All he did was make it longer.
Or maybe it could be viewed as a work for hire. Then of course the copyright would be yours.
