Well, that was purchased through DirecTV and not Tivo, of course. But since DirecTV is the one providing TV service, they ought to be providing lifetime listing and lineup updates anyway, since that's what they do for all of their receivers.
They'll probably just make it unwantable. Much like you see with the unlimited cellular plans. There aren't very many around, because people want new things that aren't available under the strict wording of the unlimited agreements.
For that matter, you can't sell a 10-year subscription and expire it after 5. Clearly they're not getting lifetime subscriptions, but they're only getting 6 years and it's not even a competitive deal. Of course, Tivo's "Lifetime" subscriptions last the lifetime of the device itself, while TomTom's "lifetime" map updates are only for as long as they decide that the device is serviceable, which is written widely enough to mean whenever they decide that product is EOL.
How is that? It's only really a suit against an actual loss incurred. It's not like a class action where the lawyers get millions, the affected class members get coupons for a free rubber bouncy ball (that expire in a week), and maybe some charity gets some money.
That's how it is here (Illinois), but I can bet that if I turn right while a left-turner across from me picks my lane out of two, I'll still get the ticket. They don't care what the law says, they don't like spurning the average person to satisfy the pedant.
Wouldn't put public domain things back into copyright, per se, but says that recordings of broadcasts of public domain material would be under copyright. Still silly, and should be shot down.
I've had properly licensed royalty-free music be blocked from a Youtube video. I didn't have the time to bother contesting it because the video was 5 years old and I'm not sure where the documentation is for it.
Hope it's part of their next one. Ever since I heard that haunting melody in the video game Resident Evil, I have loved it. And then I've hated it when it was remixed for a Tampax Sport commercial.
They aren't the ones that deprecated parallel ports. They used a serial interface for printers before they went to USB. They did just start deprecating CD/DVD drives with the new Macbook Pro.
$199? I thought you were comparing to that post's parent. $199 is the SUBSIDIZED price. Did you read that part? Not full retail - it's the "discount with 2 year contract" price.
Just a guess this being a US site and all that the above is in USD. The prices in Canada probably come from that silly thing companies do where they charge the same number of dollars in both USD and CAD.
I've been wanting it for years too. Don't know why nobody thought that we wouldn't want that. Maybe "the world" isn't ready, but there are a lot of us who would pay for more pixels.
Scannable with what? It would have to be big enough to be human-readable with optical magnification. At least for the schematics and code of your scanner.

XP was only a security and stability mess compared to Windows 2000. Certainly not when compared to Windows ME.
I didn't see the gp mention Bieber at all.

I think the first words you get will be:
"Aarrrraaaargh!!!!!! The pain! Why does my whole body hurt? Where am I?"
Wouldn't that be considered inhumane?
Insurance company make money by having thousands of costumers,
A well-dressed driver is less likely to get into an accident.
And someone out there still has the keys for it, too. And the car finder alarm button on the keyring.

This is all I could find on the WIPO Treaty:

All it takes is one person to transcode it and put it up on torrent. These were released as public domain and I'm sure someone has the time.

The iphone is not pressure-sensitive. You really can't play it and have it sound very good. Do any iPhone piano apps even have pedals?
The license for the recordings is public domain. Use it wherever you want.

Which does make you wonder why they didn't just go for a magsafe-style plug on the new iPhone/iPod.
I'm just going by 75,000 pages / 500.

Beyond that, you have to print THIS small: http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/08/12/2145205/color-printing-reaches-its-ultimate-resolution
Patch? What about all the bugs/features you get from random mutation?
And at 13 punch cards per kilobyte, how many trees would have to be cut down to save Rebecca Black's "Friday?"
