The au$ is worth more against the US$ than any time ever before in history. The same could be claimed for a number of currencies. eg: NZ$.
The US$ is sinking in value... the AU$ is not rising a lot compared to many currencies.
What about signing a contract with a record company where they give you an advance to create an album. You have signed away the copyright on a work that you have not yet created.
I am sure that Nintendo could use a legal argument such as "using the service was free, but the service was free because of the copyright agreement. The costs of the service were to be recovered by the use of user content. The user agreed to this".
Our company uses ultravnc sc for this purpose. It is a contacting vnc server so there is no need for the user to open or route ports.

The secret is sooo simple... love , communication, and common life goals. You don't need a manual - and if you think you do - then there is already a problem!
I am 45 years old, do not have a degree, and have a successful career as a software developer. (Australia). Most of my daily work is as a Delphi programmer but I am skilled in many languages.
It was very difficult "breaking in" to the IT industry without qualification but through perseverance, OSS contributions, and slowly building experience, I have no difficulty obtaining new contracts.
I currently work as a lead programmer of a team of 3 developers both in their mid 30's. One is degree qualified and the other isn't.
The degree qualified member of our team has some difficulty thinking "outside the square". No innovation and frequently stuck on trivial logic problems Eg: placing a query inside a mouse move event and wondering why the program freezes.
The other member of our team frequently comes up with innovative code that presents what first appears to be a difficult algorithm into a minimum of lines.
Myself and the other non-qualified member of our team LOVE what we do. The other member of our team works as a programmer because thats his livelihood. No love for coding (he goes home at night and plays WOW).
When I attend a job interview, I impart my love for what I do to the interviewer, showing my contributions to OSS and a large amount of commercial experience and employer references.
In the last 10 years there was 1 contract out of 45 odd that I did not get because Queensland rail insisted on a degree as part of due diligence just in case I write bad code that bangs trains together.
Summary: A degree is valuable but not a necessity Experience is everything! The trick is getting the experience. Working for small companies and asking for a little less money than you might think you are worth and demonstrating commitment to your craft is the key. Coding is not a job, its a lifestyle. Some employers recognize that, and once you get your first break then your CV is on its way.
Unfortunately "international bodies" are toothless tigers. If my government decides to incarcerate me without charge for several years, then try me on a trumped up charge with no evidence, then execute me - I'm sure they would receive a "stern admonishment" from one or another international bodies. Either way they can just dismiss it, continue with the same process against others and in the long run it hasn't done me a lot of good.

I think you mean "confidant" not cosmonaut

Reading the story on this link : http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/09/2814726.htm
It contains - "The matter was settled between Mr Burt and Nintendo last month."
I assume some sort of settlement has been agreed upon.
It would be nice in the future if they'd make remote assistance work in the reverse direction...
Ultravnc sc works in the reverse direction - http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html

not to Australians like me ... there's so little water here that we have to survive on beer.
maybe the soldiers should smear their heads with orange goo before putting their helmets on.

google translate gives me (german->english) ... "Or I had, if not for the time, Translate."

What about doing a comparison on the soundex of the required answer?
I've lost a couple of motherboards due to electrolytic caps failing. I'd suggest a mobo with "solid state" caps.

you didn't see Doom or Doom II then ?
This hypothesis sounds reasonable. Mod Parent up.
funny! .... agreed
