    No they wont. http://surveyorsnotebook.com/ If I were to purchase a plot of land ad it had gps coordinates as the buoundary then they would be hiring a certfied surveyor to redo it. GPS is great for maritime , road, and outdoor navigation but is no where near accurate enough for surveys.

  16. Re:Exploiting the Fallen for a buck. on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 1

    Time. Most of those who fought in WWII are Gone now. That was a different era and a different type of war. This war is still on going. How about we make a game out of 911; Lets see who can hit the tower and knock it down make sure that people are thrown out or jump from the towers. Sounds fun doesn't it. Think people would not raise all kinds of hell if that happened. And that was 8 years ago. It's called patience. A little discretion goes a long way.

  17. Re:Exploiting the Fallen for a buck. on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 1

    I would expect that no one want's it erased from memory or history. But Taking something that was horrific on both sides and making it something that for most whom would play it FUN is not the way to go about it. Make a documentary, Movie, Book anything but a game. It's called respect for those that through no fault of their own lost their lives and a GAME is no way of showing respect.

  18. Exploiting the Fallen for a buck. on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some of the comments so far have been total dissapointment that they are not going live. Being a Veteran and understanding how the culture is I could understanding that if they were to set aside a certain amount of the profit to help the families then maybe. There is a big difference in Warcraft, WOW, DOOM III and any of the other gore and blood offerings than using the unfortunate and sad situation these young kids had to endure and the families have to live with this the rest of their lives. This is one that should never have been thought of.

  19. Reguarding on The Woman Who Established Fair Use · · Score: 5, Informative

    Previously under the old 1909 law, an author owned the copyright for 28 years from
    the date of publication and unless the copyright was renewed,
    the work entered the public domain, and the author lost any right to royalties.

    That seems a hell of a lot more fair than the in perpetuity that we have now.
    We really should go back to that or life of the author or 20 years which ever comes later.

  20. What's Tiger Direct? on Dell Sues Tiger Direct For Misleading Customers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Never heard of it. Is it where you can get tigers imported directly form the country of origin?

  21. Re:Give those Pirates What they Deserve! on Appeals Court Stays RIAA Subpoena Vs. Students · · Score: 1

    but explicitly restricts the powers available to the government.

    Tell that to the Gov. Cause they sure don't believe that.

  22. Re:This is big on Appeals Court Stays RIAA Subpoena Vs. Students · · Score: 1

    Most if not all court rooms do not allow taping. You could ask politely before the case gets rolling. Reason being is they already more than likely tape it for the transcribers and court reporter to go back to make corrections to the transcript.

  23. that is not safe at home on AMD Overclocks New Phenom II X4 To 7 GHz · · Score: 5, Funny

    So what am I supposed to do with the tank of liquid nitrogen I have in my back yard?

  24. If you can't innovate on Time Warner Cable Won't Compete, Seeks Legislation · · Score: 1

    Litigate. There is an overwhelming propensity for Americans to try and get around obstacles. When they try to do this mega corp see one thing only. They are trying to bypass their monopoly in that area. The sad part is some judge will probably shut down the project .

  25. Not saying this is right but on Biden Promises 'Right Person' As Copyright Czar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The way things have gone so far with this admin I figure that the only right person in there eyes will be someone like this Dan Glickman, head of the MPAA,
