AMD had traditionally excelled on compute. I don't expect RT acceleration on Vega 7nm, but INT8 performance is 58.9 FlOPs on the M160 could be competitive with tensor. Especially with a PCI-e 4.0 option available combined with the HBM2. (At least on the data-center side of things). Gaming performance (Radeon cards) probably isn't going to be outstanding, but it should still be pretty good. I don't thing-k the lack of accelerated RT is going to hurt them as NVidia can't make it perform adequately even with the acceleration to support from game developers/engines is going to be hit and miss at best, just like PhysX. Some people will swear by it, but many won't care until it's actually good and widely supported.
No Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III. entered into contract with Accolade, a game company to develop Start control, wherin the creative content of the game would be copyrighted by Ford and Reiche, and accolade would get exclusive rights as long as a minimum royalty was paid. Accolade also recieved rights to the trademark and and marketing materials created for the game. Atari later bought accolade, but did not pay the minimum royalty from 2001-2011, so the publishing rights also reverted to Ford and Reiche. Later F+R, Atarti, and GOG entered a three way agreement to publish SC1/2, which did pass to Startdock for a while.
Ford and Reiche didn't sell the mark (and never owned it), but trademarks do have fair use exceptions, one of which is the nominative use. For example saying software is compatible with Windows does not violate Microsoft trademark. I don't think the simple truthful description that a game contains material from or is in the same universe as a different game is unfair use of trademarks.
Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, repeatedly stardock that it owned the SC1/2 copyrights, and would not license them because they wanted to make another game in that universe.
I'm writing from Gentoo, and you can certainly use an x86 profile, but compiling modern packages on old hardware isn't really a viable option. If you don't have 4 GB or RAM compiling firefox or libreoffice is straight out of the question. And yes updates can often be tricky, things rarely get outright broken, but finding your way around a block often involves telling portage to update a whole slew of related programs at once. (Qt, Tex, GHC, and mesa are regularly issues for me)
Running a minimal system with a lightweight desktop might be viable on old hardware, but I don't reccomend it. There's are distros focused on legacy and they may be better options, but honestly you can pick up a refurbished core duo system with 4GB or RAM for a hundred bucks or less, and most distros will run just fine on that.
You can install any Linux that uses the shim, or you can install your own KEK key. I not sure if you can take control of the PEK though and entirely block microsoft software from the device though. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-.... But the suface is largely business class, having a TPM that you can use to verify the boot chain.
All in all replacing consumer firmware with mu, may actually provide more control on average, giving more options than such M$ key on or secure boot off.
>>20% tax on proceeds produced by the work, increasing at some log(n) rate which eventually approaches but never reaches 100%. But it's still a raw deal for society at large because derivative works are curtailed even if the reduced value of IPs over time forces content creators to innovate.
You could keep dead works locked behind copyright forever simply be filing and paying zero tax and after a while it encourages rights-holders to do just that. It solves the abandonment issue but doesn't create public domain of the sorts of works that could greatly enrich it.
No, first off copyrights don't have to be registered, second doing something annually for something you might own dozens-thousands of is just a huge hassle and burden, and it's probably unconstitutional as it's a tax not apportioned or on income or imports. . A better system is to just ramp up renewal/registration fees each period or renewal. Say 10 for the first decade, 100 or the next, 1000 for the next, and 10,000 for every decade thereafter, and let unregistered works expire in 20 years.
"Thier" is simply wrong, "he/she", and "his/her" is awkward and ugly on the page. Really the best way for a writer to make his writing explicitly gender neutral is to mix or alternate the gendered pronouns she uses.
You're looking at half the equation. Thousands of other people selling the merchandise are making money, you get lots on new stories and content, some of which disney would never dare publish. (Micky as a dark hero, Mickey as bisexual, Mickey in prison, a cameo in a sci-fi world...). Other people make money, taxes come in from them, and cultural landscape is all the richer for it.
And this is not to mention many of the best selling disney stories are remixes of public domain stories. (Lion King - Hamlet w/ lions, Tangled - Rapunzel, and many more)
Actually given that nobody knows the actual holders of the copyrights of a significant portion of the works, and that this problem increases over time, making some works somewhere from impractical to impossible to license for reproduction. Having a pay to extend option for Mickey Mouse's wouldn't be the end of the world, but a blanket extension would be devastating.
Actually average cost of passing regulatory approval for a drug is 2.4 billion. Consequently pharmaceuticals is the only industry where patents are provably necessary for R+D to occur. Everything medical in the U.S. is absurd or broken anyways though.
Most books don't make any money, and of those that do, very few have a long tail. If you are worried about revenue twenty years out, you had written a very successful book indeed. Over 90% of published works make over 90% of the revenue within 10 years, given that 20 is fairly generous.
And the purpose of copyright isn't to make a few authors and publishers very rich, but to provide a limited term monopoly enough to encourage publication. But on the flip side you don't want every bit of culture locked behind a copyright. Without an extensive copyright, you as an author would have a lot more sources to draw inspiration from without worrying about being sued.
Just just exponentially increasing rates for registration renewals. And it would be pretty easy to assign a number to registered copyrights, and require notice given within 90 days when the underlying rights are sold or transferred. As is there are a lot of valuable works out there, though of technical/historic rather than popular interest , that nobody is really quite sure of who if anyone still owns the copyright.
Yes, just having a system where you had to renew every 14-20 years (with the registration few increasing 4-10x for each renewal). That way you get effectively abandoned IP to the public domain faster, get extra funding to the copyright office, and let the rare and successful IP enjoy their long tail. Even if we stuck with the minimum term of the berne convention for foreign copyrights, you could make the U.S registration expire and thus small infringement not punishable by statutory damages.
Not true, quite a few computers, especially server and business grade allow a physically present user enter platform setup mode and upload the public portion of the PEK and then you can sign any KEK that you like.
Legacy is hard on closed or open, but at least with open there's a place to start. And thankfully CPU's uses to be slower, so emulation of the whole system isn't a terrible option.

Because Ford and Reiche want creative control over the franchise and plan to release thier own game based on the original copyrights.

Because taxation is theft, and those that call themselves government do the same thing factually as criminals do.
The police have no general obligation to protect anyone.

ARM's always been an exception unfortunately, and the whole embedded space is a mess generally.
Also having one codebase to pressure to enable PEK setup is still a better situation than trying to tie OEM's down on a thousand different codebases.

And "zhe" and such alternatives at this point are just made up, not well known and not likely to be well received by a lot of audiences.

You bought your computer from Microsoft, what did you except?
Though if other OEM's followed suit, it might be interesting.
IF you add your own KEK, you can sign any bootloader, driver, or kernel that you'd like to use.
Not true, quite a few computers, especially server and business grade allow a physically present user enter platform setup mode and upload the public portion of the PEK and then you can sign any KEK that you like.
You already can't write your own firmware for these devices due to signing requirements. At least being able to audit a common codebase is a step up.
