Would you be willing to spend $5 a month to join a Copyright Infringement insurance pool? You pay up front (less than $60) and in return the insurance will cover negotiation & settlement for 1 year. Better still, use the money to buy some more reasonable copyright legislation from Congress.

*sigh* it's a pity that you go through that military drill to become an astronaut. I surely would like to be one. I hear there's an opening on a Mars mission... Given NASA funding shortages, they might be ok to dispense with all the military drill for that one.
1) Robot suicide bombers isn't exactly an ethical step down for bombers - and it lacks martyr value. Hmm... I wonder what these robot suicide bombers aspire to in their after-life. Seventy seven packs of Duracells and...?
I've just looked at the Wikipedia article (and sketch) showing thw defect. As an engineer (yes, a real one, albeit mechanical discipline), all I can say about what was done is, what an unimaginative solution.
They could have still split the threaded rod under the upper walkway, and re-joined it with a threaded coupling, just below the nut supporting the upper walkway. If the nut can support the upper walkway, then the threaded coupling could easily support the lower walkway.
In my experience, the solution used just smacks of a "quick fix" coming from some ignorant construction engineer/supervisor. I also would bet that those who approved the change weren't those who conceived the original design.
No. The required orbital speed is dependent on orbit radius. Gravity provides the centripetal accelleration to maintain orbit radius (assuming regular circular orbit). Sufficient "orbital speed" to balance that centripetal force is required, else the object will spiral in toward earth.
Of course there is atmospheric drag which prevents useful orbits less than LEO altitude. Then there are orbital altitudes where the "orbital speed" corresponds to the earth's angular velocity, which makes for geo-stationary orbits.
I would have though that when somebody fucks up like that (and discovers the cock-up) that they would report/document such an incident when it was discovered, particularly when archiving records is particularly important in some organisations.
It is highly suspicious, if not damning, that the loss comes to light only when those particular records are needed.
Peak Oil is not about running out. It's about a geologically-imposed limit on production rate. Our current manner of use will be curbed/modified significantly by the resulting price increases.
Yes, coal can be used to substitute, but the infrastructure to do this chemical trickery is not in place, and will not sufficiently supplement the dwindling oil production. Additinoally itw will suck up enormous amounts of captial.
You're certainly using the DVDs outside of the terms of your license. Since when was there a licence agreement when you purchase a DVD? I would have thought when buying a DVD, that you've purchased a copy of the work through a licenced distribution network. Thus you are bound only by the restrictions imposed by copyright law. You have no contractual relationship with the copyright holder, only an obligation to be law-abiding.
The whole point being made is to only allow people through who won't take offence to _any_ "sacred cow"/hang-up. You're already requesting favourable treatment/dilution of that principle, in order to satisfy your sensitivities. The principle is absolute. It is not a point on a continuum.

Yes. The more intelligent way is to select the acronym first, then find the words to fit.
Is that when rendered in ASCII, HTML or Silverlight?
