If they only had 5-10 years of protection I'd never buy a new game again. I have games I've purchased already that I've owned for that long without getting around to it. There are 40+ years of home video game releases, and 75-90% of them would be public domain if you had your way. Where's the incentive to buy if there is so much available for free?
Why exactly should I be allowed to force everyone else to take it down. It was essentially abandoned property.
Because they never should have done so in the first place. If abandoned property is fair game, I'd love to raid old buildings for valuable vintage equipment or people's garages.
If that were true (not totally discounting it), it would also be a way to actually get paid for all that effort rather than doing it for free or nearly free.
Podcasts are a different beast - one podcast doesn't really "link" another.
There are well-documented RSS publishing standards using <link rel="alternate".../> in the associated web site's HTML - you don't link one podcast to another. You link the podcast to its related web site, probably the domain the actual feed is on.
Perhaps if you own a website you can link to the podcast and thus get into the big directories through normal webcrawling, but if you don't publicize it, it won't get picked up.
Podcasts don't exist without a web server to serve the RSS feed over HTTP. That's likely going to be a web site right there. And if you don't link to your own podcast from your own web site (or if a podcast as a service system doesn't do the same), then you are doing something wrong.
But that can take days, weeks, months, or years depending on how high traffic the sites that link to your content are. Try it. Set up a website and see how long until Google etc., will index it. If it's not linked anywhere, they likely won't even notice.
Well that just goes back to the beginning. Still, the point is that it eventually gets found. If from nothing else than from the domain registry being public. You can manually submit to a walled garden, but automated crawling would drastically increase the amount that is easily discoverable.
Do you know how many walled gardens there are for podcasts? I've helped a couple people list their RSS feed and I didn't post to anywhere near this number of services. If this were part of an open web, they would simply be indexed by search engines and no manual submission would be needed. You don't have to explicitly submit your web site to Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, etc, so why should podcasts be any different? Sure, you can prefer manually-submitted entries. But expecting every podcast to know of every directory is insane.
Who do you think hires the arbitration company? What is their incentive to be fair or even interpret the contract in a legal way. Courts have upheld the ability to waive the rights to a real trial.
They literally blocked further investigation. You can sit there all day and say that the smoking gun has no fingerprints on it, but the gun has been shot.
Once you get rich beyond a certain amount, you can live off of the gains of even the most modest investments without actually spending any money. You get to live for free just by starting off rich.
If you want to get specific, he actually reduced server load by not bogging down the server with requests for superfluous pages. That it encouraged more action is just a side benefit.
No it is not. In a world of limited resources, you can not afford to waste money on an expensive technology as it reduces the money you can spend on more efficient solutions.
The TCO doesn't just include disposing of nuclear waste. On the other side, it's the cost of a runaway greenhouse reaction. And that latter cost is probably higher. Just longer term before you have to spend it.
* Google make the OS Android, which includes a list of root certs they trust. (They also make Chrome, but that doesn't include any root certs, it uses the OS-provided ones).
I'm not sure if that's always true. Pull up https://secure.netflix.com/ in Chrome (untrusted) and then pull it up in IE or Edge. I have no idea why, but Chrome flags that certificate as invalid. I display some inline Netflix cover art on a personal web app and the pictures won't load in Chrome. Everything about the cert appears to be valid.
Most automatic renewal options attempt renewal in advance of the expiration, so there's time to get notified and resolve any issues before the current cert expires.
Any tool that can catch a deepfake can be used to help train the deepfake generator. This cover story just tells us that DARPA is working on training their own system for generating deepfakes. Dueling neural nets is the new normal and there's no reason to think they only developed one side of this.
Charging a modern phone at 500mA is not really a reasonable option. So I might disagree with you there. Overnight charging leads to leaving the phone on the charger past the ideal 40-80% window for battery life.
There are some public wifi hotspots that I wouldn't use without a VPN just to encrypt my traffic from casual sniffing. Then again, my Android handset does that automatically. For Free. The question is whether Verizon blocks this functionality just to sell this crippled $4/mo. service.
Well if you're going to bring up the speed of light, it's important to mention that Thunderbolt was originally named Light Peak and designed to work optically. And somehow it went from that to copper and just co-opting Displayport and USB in the next few revisions.
That's just the form factor. It's a start. But if you want more than 500mA, there are multiple competing proprietary options for how to deliver higher current. USB Power Delivery is the favored choice, but there is Qualcomm Quickcharge, Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, and more all still on the market.

Protest the destruction of illegal copies by destroying legal copies? Great argument for video game preservation there.

Finally an explanation for why everyone always waits for an x.1 OS release for anyone Apple. I've done it, but I never knew why it was so bad.

Both are stronger than your neighbors'.
No, but it makes it take longer. If you're not the easiest target on the block it will at least stop casual leechers.

Somebody's been hitting the thesaurus too hard looking for other ways to cutely call a town "sleepy."
Well that argument just says that women are way smarter than men when it comes to taking reasonable risks.
In all their avoiding having touch screens on the Macbook line, they managed to come up with something worse.

That or don't install software you don't trust. I don't see why email would be different than any other software in that regard.
