The Japan earthquake + tsunami caused a great impact in the world due its big effect on humans, produced a great number of victims, melted three nuclear reactors and damagesd a fourth, spread radiation over the world and caused great economical damage, but it is overvalued in its physical effects.

Some few years ago a very powerful earthquake hit Chile and produced a strong tsunami that washed the shores, but it produced a small number of victims, the economical damage was small and the only thing most important was some political damage to the goverment and its propaganda (things were not so marvelous as the population believed).

But as Chile is a third workd country so far away in a remote region and no big tragedy happened there nobody cared if the Earth tilted its axis or time changed some microseconds.

Very strong earthquakes are something common, but as most of them happens so deep inside the Earth or in a place that is nothing there, nobody knows and nobody cares if the planet is spinning more or was lost in space out of control

It can look complicated, but is very simple. Te newton's principle (first or second ???) tell us:

F = dP/dt

Where P is the momentum and F is the force. To change the momentum of a body you must apply a force to it. If no force is appled the momentum remain unchanged and it doesn't matter what happens inside the body.

If the Earth momentum has changed some external force must have been applied and if you take into account the third Newton't principle (action and reaction), the Earth will react with a reaction force to whom applied the force. To whom will react the Earth with a reaction force? to the earthquake ????!

Quote - Sounds logical, but have you ever watched figure skaters or have wondered what the little clumps of lead on a wheel rim are for?

If you look only at the skater you will see that he changes his momentum, the same with acrobats and cats. But the skater is not isolated in the Universe, there is the reaction of the ground, so if you consider the whole system, skater + ground, the total momentum has not changed.

In an earthquake, if you look alone at the piece of soil that moved you will see that the momentum has changed, but the soil is not isolated, you have the other part of the soil that have also moved and changed its momentum, the tsunami wave also had acquired momentum. If you summ the momentum of all parts, one piece of soil, the other piece, water and all other parts invvolved, the total momentum has not changed and so the whole momentum of the planet Earth remained unchanged.

The only way to change the momentum of Earth is to apply an external force such as collision with other planet, asteroid, comet or gravitational pull by bodies external to the Earth (Sun, Moon, planets, asteroids, comets)

The axis changed nothing. Changing the Earth  axis of rotation would imply a change of the momentum of the Earth. To change the momentum of a body you need to apply an external force to the body. The earthquake is an internal force and so, it cannot change the momentum of the whole body.

Quote - The tsunami or earthquake or whatever it was in Japan knocked to earth of kilter several degrees and....

This negates Newton's Inertia Principle, maybe Newton was wrong and AlGore was right

Quote - The melting ice caps are shifting the flow of the gulf stream...

The gulf stream is so small and so far away to have any effect on the South hemisphere.

What I have observed in the last years are colder Summers or shifted seasons (heat begins at the end of Summer or Autumn itself). Winter is variable, we can have Summer and Winter in the same day.

The North henisphere can be warming, but in the last ten years you can be sure, the South hemisphere is freezing.

It is Global Warming. Few years ago Buenos Aires had snow for a whole day after 85 years without it. I have never seen snow in mine whole life and this one I missed too!

Quote - I Mean some do a fine work in here others just make static work , If I get a Prop I expect some features For example I get a DM's Product they look great , but also is related with allot of work if you whant to have the parts to be movable as they are static. so to do so you go to the material room and ripp appart the whole thing save each material as idividual Prop then you reassemble the whole thing make a figure out of it or a new prop Parts can be moved the static is changed to a Functional Prop for animations.

You have never done this. Try to do it and then tell me.

Quote - and it is not the govenment or a Berne convention who makes the Law , we are the ones who restrict our selves we make the laws a eula just repeats what we decide

The Law is much more complicated than this and must fulfill some atributes to become a valid law.

1- A law must be promulgated by a legal autority following all the formal procedures.

Most of the laws fits in this, but there are "laws" that people think that is a law but are not laws because never were signed and published by any legal autority. Now it comes the second and important part that people almost don't know:

2- A Law must be accepted by the population. Most of the laws fail in this point and so are not a valid law. Population don't obbey these laws and if they do it is only due to police force. If a poliseman is looking at you, you follow the law, when the policeman turns his head looking at other direction, you ignore the law. It's like when athief puts a gun into your head you obbey him, but this doesn't make the bandit the Law.

3- The Law must be enforced. A law can exist, but nobody cares if is followed or not is not a valid law. There is agreat numbers of laws that fits into these cathegory. Nobody cares because it are impossible to be enforced, it are so ridiculous to be enforced, enforcing them will turn all into a chaos or are obsolette and nobody has removed them as for example, shops must have a post to tie the horse.

To end this here comes a phrase from Gandhi that I like very much:

"To disobey a law is a crime against the government. To obbey an unjust law is a crime against humanity."

Quote - I Take a sample . I buy a Static Building , But Ooohh The door does not open, but that door should open as it is needed for my clip , ain't it soo tha the Product is sold to be used in clips ? But it does not work , so why not being able to sell that Imprvement to the Building ?

Is not so simple. You build a room for a scenario and you can put many doors and windows. The doors and windows are not doors of windows, it are only a plane with a door or window texture and there are plenty of beautil textures of doors and windows, so the rendering of the scene will be something excellent. The second point is that the walls are only planes, so if the set the backcull option in the rendering settings, the walls will not obstruct the camera. In the end you have a room that a low polygon number, render fast and produce excellent scenes.

But the doors are fake doors that never open. If you want a door to open the situation gets rather complicated. The door cannot be a simple pece of plane with a proyected texture, it must have 3d, The door itself is not a big problem, you can use a cube instead of a plane and continue to use the same texture. The problem is that the door needs a frame that cannot be a plane and so the walls that once were a plane, now have 3d. The problem doesn't end here. If you open the door there is nothing on the other side. The floor abruply ends at the door and with a void after the door. You need to extend the floor of your room to the other side of the door with a same texture or other compatible with the first. You solved the floor problem, but what you see on the other side is a void, you must put something there. What do you put at the other side of the door? another room with walls? a garden ? a street ?

In the end, you will have to build a complex building divided into props or figure actors that can be hidden/unhidden, a big polygon count and very much expensive product. There is no possible update for the first simple product to make the door open. If you want a moving door, buy a more complicated product or divide the animation into parts where each part uses simple products and then join the parts editing the trasition between the scenarios

Quote - The one who makes the fix would automaticly get Copyright on he's fix ... Right?

Ha, ha, ha. Many years ago I found the most ridiculous thing that I've seen. I was working analyzing patents to see if some have any use for the company and I found one. This patent was nothing more that a patent fixing the crap of other patent!! So if you want to use this patent for your product you must pay for two patents. You pay for the first patent to make your product, but this product will not work, so you must pay another patent to make your product work. I put in my report "Ridiculous"

Another approach hat is very common in real life:

You must obey and follow the law, the US law tells that you cannot take the work of other person, if you do you will be punished.

Fine, I shall follow the law and take the work of many people and obtain a huge profit with its use. Following the law the offended parts will sue me at a Justice court. With whom does not I shall get an extra profit and who does it then will be lawyers, discussions, more lawyers, appealtions and can take many years to reach the final veredict. I can win or lose the cause. If I win the cause I get an extra profit. If I lose, then I have to stop using the works, no problem, the product is already obsolette. Also I have to pay, also no problem, what I have to pay in lost causes already is a part of the product's cost. I am only following the law and obeying the decisions of Justice.

Microsoft won and lost hundreds or thousands of causes. Do you think that was Billy Gates that payed the lost causes? Nooo!, it was you that payed it every time you purchased Windows. The bailouts that the banks have received, a significative part of the money was used to pay the lost cause. Again, it were  taxpayers and not the banks that payed the lost causes.

Don't blame the lawyers, they don't twist, change or invent the Laws, they only brownse among the tons and more tons of existent laws to find the most appropiate for the case. But judges have some power to interpret the law, but they can be bribed and can be good friends or political allies.

Well, I suppose that nobody will make a fortune with a Vicky5 skin tatoo, so forget all above.

Quote - ACTA was rejected by the EU until now. The aceptance of ACTA would mean that the copyright laws in the EU would be exactly the US laws and this was rejected by the European population.

Nope. Rejected by the EU government not the people :)

Wrong!!!, Were just the people with their mass protests and mobilizations  in many countries that forced their goverments to shelf ACTA, corrupted greedy politicians wanted it, but population does not.

Quote - If a product is being sold to China Or Russia then the vendor should be avare that hes product can be taken appart and resold.

Yes, and then they sell back to you at a cheaper price, he, he.

Why do you think why Chinese products are so cheap?, because they pay nothing to the workers or use children to work ? NO !, it are cheap because they pay nothing of royalties, patents, trademarks, copyrights, don't waste money in propaganda and don't pay fortunes to their CEOs.

Quote - As he by selling to the one in that specific caountry agrees to there terms of use. In this case the eula would only be considered Local by exporting the vendor has to agree to the other cautry's terms.

This is another problem, the EULA must be written in the language of the country, documents written in foreign language have no legal value and few countries have English as its language.

Well, in internet this is imposible, you have no idea who is selling or buying and in which country he is. So only remains to hope that people will act in good faith, if not, c'est la vie.
