Putting back an arbitrary ID in the file can't be much harder than removing the original one, therefore, the simple existence of such tool makes this marking a very weak proof of purchase, so I suspect that Apple will only trust their own server logs.
Yes, I know, personnal examples are very weak proof...
In my father's family (5 boys and two girls), only two kids went to high school: my oldest uncle and my dad, who is the youngest of the family but also the only one who went to an university. The thing is that he is 15 years younger than his youngest brother, so he was technically raised as an only child.
I also see my two nephews (8 and 6), and it is clear that the youngest one is smart, but also lazy so he always try to have his brother help him (or, to me more precise, do the whole work) whenever his homework gets a little too difficult.
1- DRM. And since you apparntly don't want to upgrade your HW in the next 20 years, it won't be such a problem. 2- New MS games DX-10 exclusive games. If they make games so good only 10% of the windows PC users can use them, you definitely should be part of that elite. 3- Aero. No kidding, it if one of the 5 best looking UI of the moment. 4- No need for a good anti-virus. Well, at least no good anti-virus available anyway.
In France, I have heard of several cases of people who had ads banned because their house could be recognized on the photo, so advertizers now make sure to have the consent of the owners or simply photoshop fake houses over photos of empy land when they need individual homes in their ads. I don't know if it would impact massive collection.
You also need to remember that, with such a blast, your ship and crew will not only travel very fast, it will also be disintegrated and scattered across billions of cubic miles when it will have reach destination (moreover, even if the ship could conserve some integrity, you'll need another exploding star to stop).
Anyway, it made sense to focus on the almost-understood parts first since the mapping techniques were very limited (but far more efficient each year) and the task so massively huge it would have been stupid not to limit the first steps to a better understanding of the most easy purpose of the DNA, which is protein encoding.
Fully understand the DNA will take decades, if not centuries, and maybe someday scientists could be sure some parts of the DNA are actually useless, but that "90% junk" looks like that thing about the neurons maybe not being the only kind of cells participating in the intelligence.
Just remember that scientist are human, they are trying hard to understand the unknown, but that doesn't prevent them to make mistakes or false assumptions, quite the contrary.
Considering the current situation, not letting the country fall into Iran/Syria sponsored total chaos nor being taken over by an Al-Queida affiliated islamic dictatorship until the next US presidential election will be a victory. Doing so without the need of massive reinforcements would be a large victory, being able to also evacuate in good order is very unlikely.
Seriously, I'm quite sure it's not the expected answer, but I just can't find it. I'm not natively english speaker (but I don't think it matters for that particluar riddle), went through college (SW degree), and I believe I have a reasonably large and varied culture (please forget my nickname, I swear, I'm 30 and watch other things than cartoons), so I would like to volunteer as a living example that someone's easy question can be someone else's trick.
On paper, it seems easy, but you will soon find that: -Many people (including myself) can be interested in an english based site without fully mastering that language, in particular when the captcha is to find the name of a thing on a photo. -Many people simply won't know the answer of questions you will find easy, some because they are stupid or did not listened when the answer was taught in elementary school, but many because they have widely different cultural backgrounds. -Whithin a couple of hours, one of your users will sell the Q/A database you spent mounthes to build to a bot producer for a few bucks.
There are many thing you consiously wish to forget, and potentially many worse than your examples, but I think the process here is not about those things, rather about removing the useless stuff that fill 99%+ of what you perceived.
Imagine you could accurately remember everything you've seen, heard, smelled, felt and touched since you were born but needed two hours to find back the exact moment you learn that 2+2=4, that's the real point here.
I really wish they just won't make a STALKER with hookers but rather a RPG with rich content. Seeing NextGens in the platform list is not IMHO good omen.
Kalashnikov modified the parts that come from the StG44 design in way that allows a blacksmith to build them in a small poorly equiped workshop while the germans needed a factory. If he was not in the USSR, that could have been a good base for a patent.
This is linked to the A.O.C. (Appelation d'Origine Controlee, there is a broader name at european level, but I don't remember it) which is a kind of trademark that protects a specific product from a specific place. Most of european wines or cheeses, and a lot of fruits, veggies and processed food are protected that way. -Raw material must be of a particular kind and come from a particular place (sometimes only a couple of sq km). -Producers must respect a set of production rules.
The A.O.C. doesn't prevent anyone to produce similar product, so anyone can produce "methode champenoise" wine (and some of them in France or abroad make a good one for only a small fraction of the equivalent quality Champagne), mustard, goat cheese or foie gras, but they can't call them "Champagne", "Moutarde de Dijon", "Feta" or "Foie gras du Perigord" without the approval of the corresponding A.O.C.
Another good movie example is Polar Express, where the caracters really looked like real persons, recently dead ones to be exact. I really like Romero and other gore movies, but there, I just felt sick. BTW, my 8yo cousin whith wich I saw that movie didn't like it either.
And, except in the USA where the 360 has solid sales, the only non-N console that sells well (the PSP) is based on a 10 year old system. Add to that the fact that PS2 sells more units than the PS3 in many countries and you may wonder if the PS3 will ever be sold in 5 years from now.
"why don't we find fossils/fish remains on the top of tall mountains, usually?"
Actually, we do. You'd be surprised to see how few million years plate tectonics needed to change some sea bottom into very tall montain (there is one famous example between India and asia, but also many more around the world). Of course, the sediment layers in which fossils usually form tend to be destroyed by erosion when they are in direct contact to the athmosphere.
BTW, only about 10% of the cells in your body are human (the other ones are mostly bowel bacteria), but that doesn't mean you can live without most of them.

IANAFL either, but from a french perspective, our copyright laws look so close to yours they were probably plagiarized.

It might be the first solid argument I see to switch from DVD to BR.

Moreover, 1.2M addresses would hardly qualify him as "King Nothing" in the spam realm.

Apparently, with the amount Gabe from PA is willing to pay to have one on release date, it won't be that hard to reach those 10 B$.

Well, personally, I still prefer good shows to be one season too long rather than a couple ones too short. The Fox, I'm looking in your direction.
