Well hopefully they aren't strangers the entire time.

Does it work for film the same as it does for TV shows? I thought if you distribute a copy prior to it's official release, it's now a punishable offense, and not just a civil suit.

I think that would solve all the problems listed here. Anyone have any plans drawn up?

I can't believe nobody included the obligatory joke on this. Also, my first post on slashdot :)

Teaching Math in the 1950's:

        A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

Teaching Math in the 1960's:

        A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in the 1970's:

        A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math in the 1980's:

        A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math in the 1990's:

        A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )

Teaching Math in the 2000's:

        Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
