I doubt much of it comes from the ground if any since it can obtain it easily from the air. The ground provides many other minerals the plant needs though. Plant nutrition.
Copyrighted material no longer needs to be marked with notices to protect it. Copyright now exists as soon as set into fixed form.
Collecting damages in excess of actual damages typically requires registration with the copyright office though (some special cases can qualify without registration iirc).
I wonder if any of that is from creative accounting like on films where almost all the films lose money, but the production/distributors seem to always turn a healthy profit.
Although that's probably less likely in the game industry, as far as I know theres not as much profit participation to avoid paying to the talent - but I could be wrong on that.
They also don't have as much of a long tail of further distribution to add to their take through multiple releases through various distribution channels.
You should be able to also get a ground/etched glass plate (could probably get tempered glass for safety) at a local glass shop for not too much. That would also provide a good diffusion surface to project onto.
It also allows use of the numpad and mouse simutaneously as well without moving the keyboard way off center or trying to find a reversed keyboard - or a separate numpad.
I was wondering what was up with that too they hit my photo gallery constantly downloading hundreds of high res pictures repeatedly - I finally got fed up and blocked their spider - none of the other spiders is even close to that rude.
There are still limits, they are just extended. Currently produced work will go into the public domain 75 years after the author dies. If the work was for a company (work for hire) then copyright is 95 years.
Until they extend them again when that limit is close to being reached for the material they protected with the last extension. Rinse Repeat when those limits are reached.
They can say they are unending, but they can make them so in all but name.
No, no, no, a Day is defined outside the International system of units, but is accepted within it as the defined quantity - 86,400 s.
Outside of scientific usage a day may have any number of definitions - rotational period of the earth, sunrise to sunset, etc.
However within scientific usage SI units (or a system compatible with SI) are generally used and a Day will mean exactly 86,400 s unless that definition is modified by the standards committee (which might be done if it gets sufficently different from an astronomical day).
Otherwise you would get annoying things when one person is refering to one measure of a day and someone else is refering to another and neither knows they are using different quantities.
Note a year is not an accepted outside unit to the SI system so feel free to define it however you wish, but please notate what definition or time system you are using in accepted SI units (although defined time systems will generally have these definitions available).
If you want to use UTC year the leap second is added to the year under UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time to make it agree with astronomical time. Other systems of time.
You can update a number of ways besides the Windows update site - most of those do not require you to use IE, though usually IE gets patched as a byproduct even if it isn't used.
Not to disagree with the first two facts agreed upon by the committee, but they say nothing of value.
1) Says that it will not collapse when an expected eruption occurs, but only uses as evidence in the statement that these collapses are rare. Rare occurences do happen, and although the timeframe for the occurances are large the probability of the event is random within that timeframe - however they may know more about the detailed geology of the island - but they do not point to that to back their assertion in the FAQ.
2) That no event has occured in recorded history isn't very convincing either as point 1 just said that the timeframe of these events is very large. Again having a long timeframe doesn't preclude the event from happening in the near future - just makes the odds lower.
The third point is a bit more useful as it relys on actual theory and simulations - however as the events are rare its unclear how much testing of the models is possible.
The fourth is just an assertion in the FAQ - to give benefit of the doubt that its based on geologic observations at the volcano and rely on the experts to review the assertion - but it doesn't do much in itself to assuage any doubts someone coming to the page might have.
So basically their FAQ gives the information that:
The threat at any point in time is low (large timeframe). (This does not preclude the threat from occuring, just reduces the odds and changes the cost/risk analysis)
The models they are using show localized not ocean crossing tsunamis - but as the timeframes between events are large the models haven't been compared to many if any actual events (though experimental tests in controlled conditions I hope have been done) -- This is the most useful information but they relegate it to a middle position in the list.
They do have some journal articles listed, and since they are online they are even useful however it would have been even more useful to actually link them from the FAQ.
"not the individual apps, that would be a different argument"
"I think it could be argued that they could release their code tomorrow for Aqua (without the pretty graphics files to back it up, keep those and release a functional but spartan version)"
Would it really be suicide for Apple to release for free all of the source code for the OS (not the individual apps, that would be a different argument)?
The fundamental question is do people generally buy an Apple for the OS?
Or does it have more to do with the carefully crafted image, design, and style of their hardware products (supported by their software design)?
I think it could be argued that they could release their code tomorrow for Aqua (without the pretty graphics files to back it up, keep those and release a functional but spartan version) and their business would not be affected much at all.
They were too busy trying to transition it away from apache servers to IIS to bother with minor details like making the service good from an end user perspective.
on the order of 1/2 an hour round trip communication times so it would have to mostly be autonomous - say launch to 50 km height, fly that direction at a steady altitude, land, send signal everything went ok, take data, await new instructions.
Yup, the shorter IR band class IVs are far more dangerous eye wise being both invisible and transmitting through glass, the eye lens, polycarb, etc. like the 1W 980nm diode on that site, or a Nd:YAG laser (1064nm) those are much more worrisome to work with than a lower power CO2 (the 10-100W range, CO2s can have very high power, kWs) -though care is still recommended of course:>.

Because the long hiatus did wonders for the Star Wars franchise.
Just get some new blood at the top of the franchise who are willing to take risks and fall down sometimes rather than slowly draining any remaining lifeblood out of the concept.
Not that this will happen its easier for the accountants to predict a long slow decline than the unpredictability of the unknown.
However it would also allow creators to use more content freely to create new works based on the old - thus that could affect 'consumers' in general by making more creators able to use material more freely and create more new works - sort of like copyright is intended to work.
The presidential candidate also sought Wednesday to answer critics of his military record, releasing 145 pages of official military documents that describe his trajectory from a privileged Ivy League student to a young Navy man who volunteered to go to Vietnam.
Kerry posted the documents on his website after several days of controversy in an effort, aides said, to quell criticism about his military service. Some conservatives had questioned whether the Massachusetts senator had earned all of his medals. Bush officials also questioned why he did not immediately release the records after promising to do so during an interview Sunday on "Meet the Press."
Senior Kerry advisor Michael Meehan said that campaign had requested the candidate's full naval record about a month ago. The 120 separate documents posted on http://www.johnkerry.com include all of the records released to Kerry by the Navy.
He also released a very complete list on lobbyist contacts he's had.

Just getting ahead of the dupe cycle - this way they can dupe within one posting.

Great if you need to enter lots of numbers.

Call for a new FAA rule requiring all pilots and copilots be required to wear broadband laser eye protection during landings.
This will put this matter to rest completely and protect them from a more dangerous near infrared laser attack on them.
There are three more recent clones:
Traders
TZ-Colony
and
Subtrade:Return to Irata
They dont add much though.
The original is still the best.

Well it could be that the pound sterling could be $4.86 again sometime, just not through raising its value.

or you could just watch the original
It looks like it was mostly copied, and judging from the trailer the orignal looks like a considerably better film.

So anything else to find fault with?
