crimeandpunishment writes "Paramount Pictures is trying to live long and prosper by selling Seagate Technology hard drives with the latest Star Trek movie on board ... along with 20 other films. The 500GB hard drive will sell for a special promotional price of $100. It's the latest way for Hollywood to combat falling DVD sales due to piracy."

You only have to disclose the source code to those to whom you are distributing the binaries. Therefore the firewall is irrelevant.
Demo For NASA MMO Coming In January 84
News of the upcoming NASA MMO, Astronaut: Moon, Mars, and Beyond, has been scarce since its announcement in 2008, but NASA recently revealed that a "mini demo game" is coming in January that will show off some of what they've completed so far. "Moon Base Alpha utilizes actual NASA Constellation program design details developed by NASA for mankind’s return to the Moon in 2020. Timelines in the much anticipated Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond MMO will be set even farther in the exciting future (2035+), but the ability to explore our own near-future moon missions is also planned for in the forthcoming game facilitated by the NASA Learning Technologies and Innovative Partnerships Programs." They're provided a slideshow and a brief video, and one of the developers spoke about the game with Edge last month.

It has no mention of a resurrection.
False. You correctly note that Mark ends in Sinaiticus without the appearance of the resurrected Christ. However, it does end with the angel announcing that "he is risen." In other words, Mark does include an account of the resurrection. Moreover, all of the other gospels and Acts contain accounts of the resurrected Jesus, not to mention numerous references in the epistles. Saying that Codex Sinaiticus contains no resurrection is obvious and easily-refuted falsehood.
