Because trademark is limited. A trademark covers only its use in advertising for a "trade" of the entity using it. If Mickey Mouse was only a trademark, other people who are in a line of business that Disney doesn't do could use it. People who aren't using it for advertising could use it. Disney doesn't feel they can tolerate that. They have the trademark, sure, but it's not enough. They feel they need a copyright.
Not really. Copyright keeps getting extended, because Disney will do whatever it takes to prevent Mickey Mouse from going into the public domain. If we take the copyright on The Hobbit (published in 1937) as the benchmark, it doesn't expire until 2032, assuming it doesn't get extended again (which it likely will).
Guy is running a newpaper that loses money. A change is put through that will make him lose considerably more money. So he decides it's not worth it. I am shocked.
Exactly. Some people are good at writing code. Some people are good at finding errors.
That's really a small part of it. Mostly, it's that a fresh set of eyes will see things you didn't, even if they aren't as good at finding errors as you are.
Okay, to be fair, let's count the Obama administration officials who had to resign in disgrace Van Jones is one, pretty minor (as opposed to, say, Tom Price, who was a cabinet secretary), and it's arguable if it's in "disgrace" although he was forced out because of controversy, true enough. Any others?
[sic] because "age" is singular, hence the verb "are" is grammatically incorrect. The transcriber got the statement totally wrong, but did recognize the error in what he thought the presenter said.

Better build more probes.

Actually, no, it's not. Sharia is not defined in the Koran. It is perfectly possible to be a muslim while not regarding sharia as mandatory at all.
But don't eat the cafeteria daily special.
You can read about John Blunt in a history book. And if you don't know who John Blunt is, you should get a history book and read about him.
Okay, instead of reinventing file permissions, they've reinvented mandatory access controls. So innovative.
Truly, they are an industry pioneer.
