Those 20 years is a 28% increase in the after death portion of copyright. As for the movies, think about it for a moment, it would mean every movie prior to 1965 was in the public domain. Currently Steamboat Willie is still under copyright protection, it was shown in 1928, that 37 year difference is a 74% increase in the copyright, though in reality it is even more. The idea that these are not significant is just plain nonsense.
Getting back to Berne Convention would be a massive step in the right direction, and does not require changing any international treaties which makes it wildly easier to accomplish.
The analysis has been done, and for the continent of Europe it is pretty devastating if you want to rely entirely on wind power. Basically you can't even over a large continent. All you need is a large high pressure to sit over a significant proportion of your generating grid area and you are stuffed.
Besides which this is the UK, where we should stop making perfect the enemy of better and build the tidal barrages and pumped storage to give us 70-80% of our electrical power.
When did snapshot support on XFS get removed? The problem with ZFS is that it gives you very little extra over mdadm/LVM/XFS. Basically it is just the combination of the three into an integrated stack.
The biggest difference is the checksumming but frankly if you are about this stuff then the checksumming that ZFS is inadequate anyway, and you would be better of using a DIF/DIX which covers everything all the way up and down the storage stack and is a better solution that ZFS checksums.
Finally if you have really large amounts of storage that ZFS is supposedly designed for then frankly it sucks, there is no Information Life Cycle Management features for starters, and if you have a few hundred TB of storage you are way way better of with a clustered storage system like GPFS than ZFS. Smaller than that the combination of LVM/XFS is perfectly adequate.
In addition anything less than Berne Convention for copyright is a none starter; that boat has sailed. However Berne Convention is a lot less than what we have currently in both north America and Europe. Rolling Copyright terms back to Berne Convention should be the initial goal.
Really they seemed to manage running a telegraph cable through the middle of Australia in two years ending in August 1872 at at time where there was not even a map of the interior of Australia. I conclude that running some fibre 150 years later is not unreasonable.
What business model would that be? It is Australia's NBN which is a government funded scheme to provide a new national broadband network. Most of the 400,000 premises that the NBN satellite connect will be in remote small towns. Places like Coober Pedy not stations in the middle of nowhere.
The NBN satellite program is around 1.5 billion USD, that is an awful lot of fibre optic cable, and in 15-20 years time when the satellite packs in will need to be spent again, while the steel armoured fibre will be doing just fine, carrying way more data at much higher speeds.
In the long run the only game in town is fibre, *EVERYTHING* else is a stop gap. This is a very very expensive stop gap.
So the solution to that is to launch at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars a couple of satellites, which might last 15 years tops. I would have serious doubts that this is cheaper than running some fibre even in the short term let alone the long term.
There are further trials in the pipeline. Much of what happened in the U.K. at least prior to 2008 which was not strictly illegal at the time is now illegal, so if they do it again they will be going to jail.
Your premiss that nothing changes is wrong. Unfortunately what is done is done and changing laws retrospectively is generally held to be wrong.
Or just get a Z3 Compact, or if you want it a bit cheaper there are some good deals on the Z1 Compact, and mine just got 5.1 at the weekend so still getting updates.
The problem with that is there are blue police boxes all over the United Kingdom. Her for example is one in Glasgow which is several hundred miles/km from London and nothing to do with the Met.
You are assuming that the "test" mode is for emissions testing, and not for testing the engine is working properly while in the garage for maintenance.
Well in my house the chances of any radio waves getting out are practically zero. If you crush a bit of brick the house is made out of with a hammer and then put a strong magnet in the vicinity half the material ends up stuck to the magnet. All mobile phone reception in the house is via femtocell. So they wanted to drill holes in the wall and stick an external aerial up. I told them to get lost, but they could use the RJ45 socket next to the meter if they wanted, which had a nice high speed 40/20Mbps internet connection. They didn't so that was the end of it.
What beats me is why the bloody hell don't they use powerline networking to communicate with the smartmeters. It's not so long ago that they where promising to deliver broadband down the mains wires. A smartmeter could work just fine on dialup speeds, so powerline networking would do just fine.
Add to this the cost of the equipment to make the dam thing. You will need light boxes, developer, and etching tanks, and that does not include the cost of the chemicals. Also add in the cost of the drill and bits. You result will also not be tin plated either unless you spend even more. The end result is while it might be more expensive to get one made, you don't have the cost of capital deployed required to make one. So you are going to have to do lots of PCB's to make it viable anyway.
I have made PCB's in the past, but today even though I have all the kit I would just order one up. Maybe it is because I have more disposable income than in the past, but the difference between a DIY board and a properly made one makes getting a professionally made one a no brainer in my view. The other thing is that once you go down that route you open up your options. Want a three layer board with a ground plane for example, no problem, try that DIY.
All that said I have a notion that a laser cutting/engraving machine could be used to make single sided PCB's to a high standard in a one stop process. Basically etch the copper away and "drill" the holes with the laser. You could probably do something similar with one of those cheap milling machine things as well.
Yes and no. I could still take out the optics on the network switch as I hook a 1kW infra red laser onto the end of my connection. One suspects that it might have a bad effect on the rest of the switch as well as my connection.
Nope the thinking was you needed a nuclear powered aircraft carrier for the steam catapult so we needed the V/STOL aircraft for the carriers because we where building aircraft carriers what are powered by gas turbines and diesel engines.
There were two problems with this. The first is that a nuclear aircraft carrier with steam catapult would have been cheaper because you could use cheaper aircraft.
Problem number two was that even as the Queen Elizabeth class was being designed it was clear that the future was "rail gun" Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch Systems and these would work just fine with gas turbine/diesel powered aircraft carriers. The contract for the HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales even had an option to covert to EMALS, however due to the stupidity of the contracts signed with BAE, it was going to be cheaper to build new aircraft carriers than convert to EMALS. So we are back stuck buying the F35-B.
Unfortunately the Queen Elizabeth class carriers have been a monumental fuck up, and will go into service with no planes.
Now I don't believe for one minute that all Muslim men are engaged or even condone such activities, but pussyfooting around the issue is what allowed it to go on for so long.
Do Muslim men of an Asian background target white women to rape? The answer is unfortunately yes.
Transmissions systems for electricity are way way more efficient than you suggest. In Great Britain transmission and distribution losses run at around 7%, and that is from the power station into the home/business. Expect these losses to fall as we move to HVDC transmission.
The next glaringly obvious mistake is that charging a battery is not 50% efficient either. It is typically around the 85% efficient mark. If you Goggle it you see a Tesla Model S turns 82% of the power at the wall into power in the battery.
With two such glaring mistakes I can only presume that your post is meant to spread deliberate misinformation.
Would that be the America that just ripped over everyone else's content? So a search and find out what Charles Dickens thought for example of all the pirate editions of his works being distributed in the USA. Don't get me started on patents.
Rubbish paper voting systems have an ultimate error rate of zero. That is what a recount is all about. The vote is very close and you double check everything. After two or three rounds of recounts those error bars get smaller and smaller till everyone is happy. The mistake in the USA is to have stupid machines punching things rather than people marking a piece of paper with a pencil.
What makes you think that you have some right of privacy in a crash? It is basically a crime scene. All a black box in a car does is stop some lying bad driver get away with quite possibly murder.
If you want to drive around on public roads like a crazed lunatic then I have a right to be able to prove in the event of an accident that it's your fucking fault.
After nearly being killed last month by some stupid fucker who decided to overtake when there was not space that lead to me screeching to an emergency stop and being missed by the moron by less space than I care to remember I have ordered up a camera system to fit, so at least the fucker would be facing charges for dangerous driving now.
The difference is between skilled and unskilled. and between highly skilled and skilled. There are not tens of thousands of highly skilled workers wanting to come to Europe to work.
Where republicans were a highly repressed Roman Catholic minority who where treated as second class citizens by a loyalist Protestant majority who gerrymandered the elections and allocated all the housing and jobs to Protestant's. Had Roman Catholics been treated equally there would have been no civil rights campaign in the 1960's which ultimately lead to "The Troubles".

The Xperia Z series of phones have the best camera modules on the market bar none. They are also at least to some extent water resistant as well.
