Calling the Community Edition a "Crippled Kids" version shows that you've not used it. We use the Sugar CE, and are quite content with it. The paid version would be nice, but it's too expensive for us. We're a small department at a university, so we're not rich, not poor either, but it's out of out price range. The CE does what it does well, and we're glad to find something this good where we can modify the source, which we need to do for our authentication system here at the university.
I really wish I had mod points now. The Community Edition is still AGPL *from the downloaded source code SugarCE-6.0.0.zip* with no click through agreements or any other license distributed with the source code. The paid editions are still SPL as they were before, making 90% of this entire discussion a tempest in a teapot. (The web page says it's a CC no derivatives license and says it's for 5.5, but they are distributing 6.0 with an AGPL license, which is what counts.)
They just added the new interface as one of the features under the SPL and paid instead of the GPL. If you have a problem with that, then write your own interface under the GPL and maintain it as a patch to the Community Edition.
Open source has many definitions, and everyone here should know this by now. So Sugar calls their paid license open source. Personally I would agree, and some would not. It's not Software Libre, which is a better term. It's "paid as in beer with a recipe."
The true irony is that the teacher would be perfectly summing up the power (or lack from over use) of profanity, yet has a fair chance of losing their job over it.
Everyone is talking about driving, but for those with kids, or for road trips, this is a natural evolution of the old custom van with entertainment in the back. Not everything is about distracting the driver. The kids having something to do would get rid of some of the biggest distractions in my car - the complaining from boredom from the back seat
I just downloaded the demo at over 4 megabytes/second (yah, MB not Mb) so I don't think they are lacking bandwidth. That depends on your location and congestion between you and their servers. Work pulled this down at about 1MB/sec, but home was a measly 22kb/sec. This is where a torrent helps, especially for legal files. A peer that is closer to my ISP would add to the speed.
The software to do the whole method she used is built into Mac OS X, so it's not just the camera. It's the dynamic remote access software combined with the camera that did it.
You can set a password on a MacBook that will not boot off of another device without entering that first, so no easy re-format possible. We're geeks, so we can come up woth 100 ways to get around this, but hopefully, we're not stealing notebooks.
Transcripts are being purchased with the combined contributions of Groklaw readers, and will be available soon (apparently the first day's has issues with floppies). Reading is going to be better than watching days worth of trial at any rate, plus it will be court produced public record.
I'm not sure where money entered into this conversation, as I never mentioned it.
Timeline: November 16, 2005 - original airing of Trapped in the Closet Episode. January 4, 2006 - Onion AV Club interview: "But I understand what they're doing." Janurary 17, 2006 - stroke date referenced in note 3, month confirmed in later article referenced March 13, 2006 - Reports of Isaac Quitting March 20, 2006 - Interview published post stroke: "Isaac's been concentrating on his recuperation for the last two and a half, three months," a close friend told me.
It was eventually reported, however, that Hayes did not quit the show, but that the original press release announcing his departure was put out by someone who was not authorized to represent him. As recently as January 4, 2006, Hayes defended South Park's style of controversial humor to The Onion's AV Club and XM's Opie and Anthony Show, going so far as to note that although he was not pleased with the show's depiction of Scientology, he "understand[s] what [Matt and Trey] are doing."
This may work for the original asker as well: The installment plan.
You get half the words/pages/drawing/layers/classes/prototype/LOC, get paid, then give the other half (or some other suitable installment arrangement). Enough to prove you have the work and deserve the payment, but so you don't get stiffed. It's all a matter of trust really. If you trust them, give it all to them, and wait for payment,if you don't, give them a spoon-fed bit at a time, one payment at a time.
This is how it was done before computers, and technology can sure make this easier (every 3rd word missing in your case), but the basic principle remains.
Pay for something that is really to copy DVDs, or just use a scripting language included w/ the OS to do what the GP was posting about? Which would I choose?
And yes, you can copy DVDs on OSX if you are so inclined, for free http://www.mactheripper.org/ Not to mention that you can do it under linux for free, and probably windows for free, but I haven't really looked, since it's been for work where video is used for courses occasionally. (fair use? still remember that?)
This will help to get you started in a different direction than the rest of the comments I've read. I'm not sure how well this will scale, as it would depend on a lot of variables, but I can see the bigger steps being scriptable: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061 025130528687
I can say that this worked for cloning a huge number (ok, more like 3) of MacBook Pros at work for dual booting. (Copying PAGEFILE.SYS is not necessary, as it will be created on Windows Boot.)
Add some shell scripts, ssh turned on the mac side, and all you have to do is setup and format the drive in Windows once, then you can use simple command lines (rsync comes to mind) to pull the files from a central location any time you change the Windows image, and use the normal Mac tools (CCC, NetRestore, ASR, etc) for the mac side.
thanks for finding this. I hadn't though to look at the pirate bay

MathFox, whom I seem to vaguely recall is not in the US, has been carrying the torch for PJ, posting 2 articles since the beginning of her absence. Groklaw will go on, just as much as CmdrTaco can take a vacation from Slashdot, and it continues on.
After seeing this, I went to Consumer Reports, and to my disappointment and surprise, they don't have much on rechargeable batteries, even with my subscription there. Basically pick a nickel-metal hydride, but they don't compare manufacturers.
Any ideas on where to find a non-biased moderately scientific comparison?

One example would be ripping part of a DVD for use in a course in compliance with the TEACH act, but this leaves the individuals open for suit still.
