so you're saying that they would have to bear the costs of access services themselves (whether as a consumer or on the job)
However, it seems like a chicken and egg problem if they're otherwise able to be productive. It may make sense for the government to force a solution to that if the market isn't. Nevertheless, it doesn't make sense to offload all the monetary costs onto those of sound mind and body.
I wouldn't change the terms of what's already been created (neither extend nor decrease them) I would change the terms for works created in the future, perhaps gradually lower them until a more reasonable point is reached
with these details, newer works wouldn't expire before older works
I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
With X years no matter what as opposed to death-based:
no particular incentive to have creators killed, no skewed term length if creators die for other reasons or live unexpectedly long no need to determine which death(s) to count for multi-creator works. easier for other people to plan to do stuff with copyrighted material as it becomes PD
Geldof is an Irishman, but as for Gates being a USian:
Article 1 section 9 clause 8 says officeholders can't accept foreign gifts without permission from Congress. However, Gates is not an officeholder.
Regular US immigration law (specifically 8 USC section 1448, http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1448.shtml) requires that naturalized citizens give up titles of nobility. However, Gates was born in the US
you do have a point about teaching styles. However, if it's classmates talking instead of the professor, I still can't neatly handwrite fast enough to keep up.
when I took notes, I felt I was more focused since I had to be in order to take notes. laptop friendly professors helped - my handwriting usually isn't the greatest, but it gets even worse when I'm trying to write at lecture speed.
same idea as drinking soda, just with the caffeine in a different format, a format particularly advantageous in those situations
and not every time, just in case I unexpectedly get tired. sometimes one can feel perfectly fine and then hit a metaphorical wall.
sometimes I don't get enough sleep the day before the event (garden variety bad habits), sometimes traveling to/from something out of town makes it harder to get proper rest

I'm not saying I believe it, just taking a guess as to what the religious anti-euthanasia folks may be thinking.

My son has some medical issues and needs close care, but I stay out of the way of his team, and most of them (possibly all of them) don't even know I'm in the health care field.
not a doc myself, but I purposely avoid planting ideas in the doc's head. I figure that being a doc yourself, you might be even more tempted by suggestions. last time I went, I figured I had condition X, but I didn't say it. I simply described/showed the symptoms (it was indeed X; the condition went away with the appropriate prescription and some behavioral tweaks)
high ticket and concession prices have already been covered.
however, here's an idea: I bring caffeine pills with me when I go out. (not just movies - sporting events, concerts, etc.) avoids concession prices for soda, easier than bringing in your own beverage, and you don't have to leave your spot (the latter is particularly useful at a concert with a general-admission floor) if I'm thirsty in addition to or instead of wanting caffeine, I'll hit the water fountain.
the idea is to make sure I'm alert for the event I bothered to go to.
PS there's a movie theater near my house; the dollar store nearby probably does a brisk business in munchies that people smuggle into the theater. It's a first run theater, it may be worth a few extra bucks for the ticket to avoid having to travel crosstown to a cheap theater.
I have some DVD's I haven't watched yet after months or years, I think I'd view those before bothering to go out for a movie. and I have a fairly normal computer and TV, not a fancy home theater system

I'm not sure whether your analogy refers to "US meddling in the middle east" or "Iran provoking the US".
The US Navy is probably concerned about how defenses on high-tech warships might get overwhelmed with a swarm of cheap missiles.
there's supposed to be a 'debate' after 'candidate'.
defenses on high-tech warships might get overwhelmed with a swarm of cheap missiles. that's probably what the US Navy is concerned about.
during the Republican presidential candidate I watched, Ron Paul was the only one not saber-rattling about Iran...

let's not gratuitously ignore nature, OK?
I'm no believer myself, but I still recognized the literary reference.

at least they're creative when buying up hate domains.
maybe it's the sanctity-of-life thing as a condition for entering heaven at all?

I can still mostly see the AC's "make more Catholics" argument though.
to me, "god from a machine" seems to fit. miraculous divine intervention (by writers) to get around a plot issue.
