TV Tropes has a donation page, and a small Zazzle store. Neither generate nearly enough funding to break even at the moment.

More accurately, "continuing to exist without choking levels of advertising or cutting back on community" has been deemed more important than keeping the warning labels off.

It's also a form of Natter we'd prefer was avoided.

Of course not. But if the local pigeon lady wanders in and asks to speak with Elvis, it is perhaps overreacting to call the SWAT team.

Not really more complex, anyways. At most, you just have two video streams instead of one. YouTube doesn't even bother with that; you upload 3D by simply stacking the left and right images side by side in the same frame.

Have you read the HTML5 standard? It makes things more open than the Flash mess we have now. They don't define any open codecs, no, but neither do they mandate closed ones.

Last I heard, "The Sun" and "The Moon" were in fact the official terms. Ironic that astronomers can be a tad geocentric like that.

"Sol" and sometimes "Luna" are just overwhelmingly popular sci-fi terms, but yes, probably would be the terms eventually adopted by colonists.

Just a sales tax is the flat tax. The proper-noun "Fair Tax" is also a sales tax, but adds a rebate equivalent to the tax that would statistically be paid by somebody at the poverty line.

If you don't wish to vote (may seem foolish, but better the apathetic not vote than drown out the signal), just don't enter the room.

If there are 120 people in the room, and 135 glow sticks are counted, then you know something's up, and can repeat the procedure until everybody plays along.

So, adhering to the GPL gives you the right to redistribute the GPL'd code- but you don't need permission for the linking itself?

That actually makes sense.

IANAL, but I don't think (in the U.S.) that the end user is infringing by creating a derivative work at load time, either- see Galoob vs Nintendo.
