Comment Re:Nintendo "Corporate Social Responsibility": (Score 1) 100

What legal precedent do they set if they allow a guy to just flat out reimplement their game?

Actually, none. Copyrights aren't compromised by allowing infringements (unlike trademarks).

I agree with your other points though. Nintendo's position is reasonable. (Ignoring the copyright-duration debate, which is a separate issue.)

This isn't the first time we've seen this sort of response. Both fan remake projects of Chrono Trigger received Cease and Desist letters.

Of course, now when the pilot has to take a leak there is one less cabin crew, which I'm sure you can construct a scenario in which that's not a good idea.

The solution is right there in the summary: have a flight-attendant lurk in the cockpit.

I'm baffled that this wasn't mandatory. As others have mentioned: what if he passed-out, or had a heart-attack? It's painfully obvious there should never be just one crew-member locked in the cockpit.

With Git, you have a full copy of the repo just by virtue of having "checked out" a copy.

Quick nitpick: that would be a clone, not a checkout.

For the non-git-users among us:

git clone: copy that repository to my local file-system. (All branches are copied across. This is normally over ssh or https.)

git checkout: give me the specified branch. (Doesn't require use of the network.)

git fetch: update the local store of the repository to reflect the current state of the repository on the server.
