I have always wondered what HW actually said, when we were told to 'read his lips.' It certainly wasn't 'no new taxes.' Does anybody know if there's a video we can peruse?
Copyrights about entertainment can be longer than patents about technology, because it's just entertainment, and people can be repeatedly entertained with copyrighted information/recordings/writings, whereas technology often is obsolete and thus technically unfeasible in a much shorter time frame.
A better analogy is that Americans keep buying lottery tickets because they believe they will win, while French people understand they will not win at a tricked game and keep their money.
All you have to do is look at how many people GTFO out of Europe the second they show any signs of success in life. Ask yourself: where do they go, and why?
Apparently, as you imply, everybody still left in Europe is unhappy and a failure at life.
And then, when you reach retirement, you can finally slow down and start to enjoy life, with your million dollars (pinky at corner of mouth.) If you live long enough, of course, and your therapist doesn't retire at the same time as you do.
Aesthetic Distance means never having to not enjoy a dramatic presentation.
You can screw up and lose all the entertainment value by looking too closely. That's always been the deal.
But this is a nerd site, so we're the people who ran the movie projector in Jr. High School; we always had to be immersed a layer too deep in the presentation.
The first copy of the White Album that I had was on mono reel to reel tape. I recorded it on tape from a vinyl album copy that my sister had, which was loaned to her by her guitar teacher. I remember that it had jelly or something on one side of one of the lp disks that I cleaned off before recording my tape.
It is still the best 'version' of the White Album that I have ever owned, though I don't have it any longer. I do presently have one of the same model of tape recorder. It's a Revere Tape Recorder with vacuum tubes.
I used to make microfiche years and years ago. It was always shot on 105mm roll film. It wasn't color, but there's no reason the color film couldn't be produced and the movie rescaled to 105mm roll film.
Prepare a room of your house to hold all the reels of film, and the projector. You'll have to build a screen in your back yard.
No, you can't have it in a digital form without compromise and lossiness.
The 35mm film was the resolution of the silver halide crystals. Which is pretty high resolution. But entirely analog, though an abstract mosaic of crystals. It doesn't fit into a world of shitty bitmaps.
It doesn't fit in well with the digital bullshit that people today insist on imposing on all visual reality. The film as shown in the theaters wasn't 'video' nor was it in any sense digital.
Does it need to be cheaper than mass graves for elephant poachers? Because I bet we could round up a decent-sized hunting crew. And a few volunteers with shovels.
Boners. When anybody starts rambling about 'Chinese medicine' remind them that Rhino Horn, various animal organs, etc. are not 'aphrodisiacs.' They are boner pills for aging Chinese losers.
When Apple starts pre-installing Chrome, it will cease to be a bug in the product Apple sells. Until then, it is a bug in Apple's product, which can not be resolved until the customer upgrades the browser to Chrome.

His books on DOS programming were substantial and well done as well.
It was doubtless a pretty rewarding sellout, and what they've done with his bitmap since was probably worth it for what they paid.
Is the usable life of this drive long enough to even fill it to capacity?
Will it be obsolete before you can get it full?
Does it have the Peter Norton bitmap on the case or packaging? That's an essential part of any 'Norton' product.
This isn't a month-long Usenet thread, which is what Godwin's Law applies to.
Slashdot discussions automatically extinguish in about three days so Godwin's Law really can't ever apply to them.

I can remember when TSMC was mostly known as an 8255 cloner.
You're generally better off dumping said 'customers' in the lap of your competing suppliers.
Guess what: if they are always right, they aren't a customer. They are a slaveowner.

"unique" is a binary term. Something is either unique or not unique. There are no "degrees" of uniqueness.
True, but in all the entropy, there are things that stand out as unique. And also lots of 'unique' entropy, if you want to go there.
I'll just wait for the 32K version. Or maybe the 128K version.
Oh! Wait a minute. The 1977 theatrical release was on actual film and not digital.
Never mind, then. Already saw it. In 1977.
Were you the nerd in the theater with the Pantone Color swatches?
When the word 'Original' is capitalized, it can be used as a proper noun. Lucas is tricky that way.
The space western that Lucas produced that was shown in 1977 did immeasurable damage to the Science Fiction genre.
Not a lot of people want to acknowledge it. But it's the truth.
All those dirty mainstream people tromping around on the carpeting. Ick.
Subcultures want to remain subcultures.
The future does not look so good for the News Business, but the people will still wonder, and someone will keep telling them stories.
