Mickey Mouse will never enter the Public Domain while Disney's lobbyists draw breath. Whatever violence needs to be done to the copyright laws to ensure this will happen.
I had no idea it was shot on 35mm. That's some good forward planning.
It was 1965. What else were they going to shoot it on? Videotape? Nope--their SFX involved *direct manipulation of the film*. In any case, videotape at the time was not considered a media for anything you intended to keep; it was for time delays and the like. Videotape was right out. 35mm was their only choice.
One obvious lesson for this is that using email systems that have autocompletes for addresses you've already used or have had replies from is obviously important.
Another obvious lesson is that once you've sent mail to wrong address, autocomplete will helpfully fill in that wrong address next time.
A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person's detriment and without reasonable excuse, opens a postal packet which they know or suspect to have been delivered incorrectly.
But it was delivered completely correctly. The sender specified the wrong address, but it was delivered absolutely correctly to that address.
The CEO is part of the board don't forget, its not some personal fiefdom where you and only you are the guy who has to do everything.
Um, no. You appear to be confusing the CEO with the chairman of the board, who aren't (or, least generally, shouldn't be) the same person. The CEO *is* the head guy who does everything. He reports to the board, which holds him responsible for results. He does not usually sit on the board himself.
As long as there's a socially-recognized need to provide for censorship, either for victims' rights like in the case of the exploitation of minors, there will be boards whose jobs are to try to make censorship work.
You are absolutely correct. Therefore the answer to this problem is obvious. (Censorship is a terribly inefficient and ineffective way to prevent the exploitation of minors, incidentally)
Gold is a metal. One that has a few uses in industry and looks nice as jewelry. There's nothing magic about it. Your insistance that only gold is real money is an artificial distinction in your own mind with no basis in reality and your belief US dollars are "counterfeit" if they can't be redeemed for gold is, frankly, batshit insane. By this measure, there is no such thing as non-"counterfeit" money that I am aware of anywhere in the world. Not even the Swiss Franc is redeemable for gold.
some of the strange practices in book retailing, like publishers' willingness to give a credit to bookstores for unsold books without even having them returned
You only see this with mass-market paperbacks. It's not standard practice to warehouse old mass-markets, and having the bookstore destroy them makes more sense than paying to ship them back to the publisher so that the publisher can destroy them. The bookstore is required to rip off the front cover and send it back and has signed a contract that the books will be destroyed. They can be sued if the book is sold or even given away.

How I wish I had your faith in the average DBA.

In your case, wouldn't that be 'civilisation'?
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
If it has my address on it, how am I even supposed to know it's not for me before I open it?

Is it true that old, worn-out programmers get sent to the glue code factory?

It doesn't even make any sense that a scanner would be more expensive than a fax machine. A fax machine IS a scanner.
You're absolutely right. I never send bits. This whole Internet thing is just a fad.

No, it's not. It hasn't been for fifty years. You may not like the fact that it's not, but it doesn't change the fact.
Because nothing is more convenient than syntactically significant characters you can't see.
But if you're disciplined and only use the goto to build structures, you'll have code you can actually maintain.
