Repeatedly punching someone in the face is not normal police procedure. Pepper spray, compliance holds, and baton strikes to the arms and legs are normal police procedure.
That's the worst bit of logic that I've read in a long time.
Copyright, at least in the USA, is a limited right created by the federal constitution, and put into practice by the Congress, to promote the arts and sciences, for the public good. A "public performance right" did not exist prior to 1897. Copyright for musical works was limited to sheet music.
Many composers wrote music and prospered long before there were laws that created "public performance rights". We have no shortage of mathematicians and physicists, even though their discoveries are not considered "intellectual property".
It does matter if you are attacking hardened targets like bunkers and silos. The Minuteman III has a CEP of 220-275 meters, depending on configuration.
A large brain is expensive, it requires lots of calories. It also delays the development of babies, while the brain catches up with the rest of the body after birth.
That makes sense, today. The problem is that many systems were designed in the days before cheap and ubiquitous computers. Here's 1162941042 (seconds since epoch) and a handful of transistors. Design a circuit that will display the time in a human-readable format. That's why BCD time formats used to be so popular. They could be decoded with relatively simple circuitry.
Actually, no. Normally, the ranges are closed during the end of December for maintenance, and to let people take time off for the holidays. Think of it like a factory that has scheduled down-time.
The problem is that NASA, and other space agencies, standardized on a date/time format composed of day-of-year (1..366) and time-of-day (UTC). This goes back to the 1960s. In ASCII, the clock looks like "310 04:35.27.642". This date/time format is embedded in a huge amount of hardware, software and standards documents. It's also used for things like countdown clocks and MET (mission elapsed time) clocks.
The end-of-year rollover depends on the leap year and leap second (if any), and has traditionally been a source of problems.
Common carriers do not have the "right to refuse business". If the Gay Nazis for Nuking Whales and Buggering Baby Seals wants telephone service, Verizon is obligated to provide it. They can only terminate service for non-discriminatory reasons like not paying the bill. It's inherent in the definition of a common carrier that the service be offered to the public in a non-discriminatory manner.
Does South Korea have a civil court system where someone can sue for libel and/or slander? It isn't a new problem. All you need is one psychopath with a grudge and a lot of free time to make your life miserable.
Just fabricating the core of a plutonium implosion bomb is a complex problem, even if you have the material and the dimensions of the finished product. If you read the available literature on the metallurgy and chemistry of plutonium, you will see that it presents difficulties that aren't an issue with more conventional materials.
How would you like it if your bank froze all of your accounts and then refused to talk to you for several months? I haven't had any problems with paypal but there are many people who have, and their customer service is often terrible.
Believe or not, AM radio can provide excellent audio quality. I've heard commercial and amateur AM stations that broadcast very clean signals, with very little noise or distortion. If you read the FCC rules, they do not limit the bandwidth of AM signals as severely as many people believe. The poor state of AM broadcasting audio quality is mostly due to cheap receivers and station managers that equate loud with good.
Then you have to keep them phased together. That can be complicated and error-prone. When you're operating on diesel power and lose a generator, the load gets dumped on the remaining generators, which can cause large frequency errors and brownouts. To put a spare generator online, you have to match frequency and phase with a system that is under severe stress. It can get ugly.

It was on mine, Microport System V for the 80286. Then again, I'm weird and it was probably too expensive for the average MS-DOS user.
If he had a hand free to punch the suspect, he could have used that same hand to grab his pepper spray and spray the suspect in the face.

As soon as my time machine becomes operational, I'm going to travel back to 1973 and shoot George Lucas.
What do you do with the waste heat? This is already a problem in many major cities.

They're working on it, and that document is nine years old.

The FCC has the power to preempt private contracts, and state/local law, with their regulations.
When the zombies rise from the dead, and start looking for delicious brains, I'll be sure to let them know where you're hiding.
True, but Sony isn't going to spec a power supply that is substantially larger than what is needed by the console.
Are the retailers going to try to stick everyone with expensive bundles, like many previous releases of new gaming systems?
