Are you kidding? Yoda looks like a rag doll in the originals. The cantina puppets are pretty bad and Jabba's palace is a B-quality muppet showcase. If anything, CGI is producing a seamlessness that is impossible with the old techniques.
Exactly. These people try to claim that puppets and animatronics were so realistic and yet you go back to watch those old movies and it's laughable at how fake they looked.
And here is a link to the anti-federalist papers.
To expand further this is an excellent reason why "original intent" is especially bunk:
Original intent presumes that there is a single, unified intent behind a text. In the case of the Constitution, the Philadelphia Convention was composed of over fifty men, who spent an entire summer compromising and arguing over provisions that were interpreted very differently the moment the Constitution's text became public.[5] It is far from clear, therefore, that those fifty-plus men had—i.e. agreed upon—a single original intent of the text.
Oh and that citation in the quoted wiki section is a comparison between the Federalist papers and the Anti-Federalist papers. Both written by "founding fathers" and both with disparate views.
Oh and you better stop using the interstate highways because those are funded in a manner that goes against original intent.
But I'm sure you knew that and aren't just spouting off some type of ignorant talking point (especially with the jab at original intent) picked up by some talking head with the goal of discrediting the founding fathers and the Constitution in the name of positivism, right?
No I was doing no such thing. I was just making fun of the idiotic notion that the intent of a hand-picked selection of the Founding Fathers (because there was no unanimous agreement between all of them on any one subject) is somehow the final statement on any constitutional subject. If this were true then blacks would have to be counted as 3/5ths of a person because to do otherwise goes against original intent!! zOMG!!!!!!11ELEVENTYONE
Sure you can include BSD code in an LGPL application. BSD is perfectly compatible with the GPL and LGPL.
Yes it's true that Linux's greatest failing was it didn't have enough DEs!
To further add you may be confusing this with the fact that you can include BSD code inside other code that is licensed under another license, but this doesn't change the license that the BSD code is under.
Actually, being BSD licensed, you can release a fork under a new license I believe since BSD is a permissive license.
The reverse, however, would not be true.
What you believe is wrong. The BSD doesn't let you change the license terms of the source code at your will. You must have permission from the copyright holder(s) to do so.
Gravity lensing and estimates of stellar and galactic age are both based on the idea that redshift is an inherent quality of distance. An alternate interpretation exists, that redshift is a quality of age.
That's fine and all but where is the evidence?
ttp://www.electric-cosmos.org/arp.htm This essay includes an example of a high redshift object that is physically connected to a low redshift object. This is totally impossible within the mainstream interpretation.
Why is it impossible? Specifics please.
Don't mind the GP. He just wants people off his lawn. He's one of those people who will try to claim that it wasn't blatantly obvious that most of the time that the animatronic was a puppet and not a real thing.
Dinosaurs are variable signals that are continuous in time and amplitude? Huh?
Consider how little funding the Plasma Cosmologists have gotten, in comparison to the huge amount of money that has gone to astrophysicists who tell us that the universe is almost entirely invisible and virtually undetectable.
You mean except for the fact that dark matter was observed 8 years ago? Oh yeah and here too. Yeah other than these examples and others that can be shown that it's invisible and undetectable. *yawn*
This is like the medieval Catholic church funding mathematicians to produce increasingly elegant papers on epicycles while ignoring the research of heliocentrists. I, for one, would like to see the government out of science and Natural Philosophy returned to the realm of dilettantes and other assorted rabble who actually base their theories on observed data instead of mathematical conjecture.
Except for those people you berate against have their mathematical "conjecture" backed up by observed data.
Well then we better go back to blacks being counted as 3/4ths of a person because to have done otherwise goes against original intent!
