Thanks for the hint regarding Falcon media. I hadn't run into them before. From what I've read they look like the first legit alternative to Singapore manufactured Verbatim DL.
The first copy of the Lord of The Rings I owned was the Ballantine Paperback published in 1965. It had a plea from Tolkien on the back asking that people purchase this edition as a courtesy to living authors.
In any case it is quite clear that under US law that this work was covered by copyright in 1970, and in addition the author was still alive.
"Studies" like this are useless if they don't include information from the codes off the CD's (not the label on the box!) as to who the manufacturer is.
Get the Taiyo Yuden and MAM-A Gold blanks and you won't have issues like this.
Also please read the Wikipedia article on CD-ROMs, and expecially the references. You WILL end up with better burns if you do.
The professor in question had significant problems with retirement policies at about the same time he started this work and eventually moved to another school.
The professor who was my master's thesis adviser is still doing research at age 90. He won a Nobel Prize for work he started in his early 70's.
It really does depend on the individual. I know people who stopped learning the day they graduated from High School, and others who kept growing their entire lives. Hitting age 39 and going into management with the idea that you can stop learning is a serious mistake. At 39 you probably have more than half of your life ahead of you.
In the US the system works pretty much the same as you describe for France. The difference perhaps is that high school works the same as primary/secondary school.
Even the " prohibited from sharing sensitive data with foreign nationals" condition is a fluff, since a foreign nation can simply pay a US citizen to get the data.
That US citizen would then be subject to the same legal sanctions the Professor got under the US laws prohibiting export of this information.
The contract is was an agreement by the professor to conduct certain work with the Air Force in return for funding. Part of this gave the professor access to sensitive military information. That information is protected by other laws, in particular the US Arms Export Control Act.
The professor is going to jail not for problems with observing the contract, but for breaking a pretty serious national security law.
He's worked at the EPA as an economicist for 38 years. All of his publications are in law and economics journals. His terminal degree is in economics.
Yes, he got a degree in physics over 40 years ago. It looks like he has done nothing in that field for over 40 years. No publications. No research. No employment.
Exactly how does this background qualify him to carry weight at the national policy level in the field of environmental science?
If you are going to tell me he wrote a paper on the economic impact of policy or predicted climate change that would be one thing. But clearly his background on climate change is doesn't rise to the level of what we would want at a national level.
Under 400 feet, 3+miles from any airport, not over any built-up area, and not annoying anyone (such as your local sheriff deputy who doesn't know or care about the limits of FAA regulations), those regs you cited do not apply.
That leaves out pretty much anything inhabited. I guess that means if you want to take pictures of rattlesnakes and moose you are good to go!
Crikey yes. Last time I did a 2.4gHz WiFi scan there were 18 other nets in range. I became so disgusted that I moved my wireless net to 5GHz N. My phone is in the 800MHz band.
The only thing I operate now in the 2.4GHz band anymore is my microwave. And that is broadcast only.
That's ridiculous. TLDs have nothing to do with whether or no spam is being sent. That is all up to the ISP and how they handle it.
Before WWW left CERN I was already connecting to the internet as a home user for ftp, email, and so on. It was already making some pretty serious inroads towards a ubiquitous service in the US.
And as far as WWW, TBL did a really good job with that, but how far would that have gotten how far without the internet? There were already several text oriented apps available like WAIS and gopher at the time. It is hard to imagine that evolution would not have brought along something else that fulfilled the same role.

The author was still alive in 1970. Why do you think the copyright should have expired by then?
The big worry is not hacking, after all I am sure that there will be plenty of security software you can download, but rather the effects of spam.
So if government is paying for your education why do you have a student loan?
For myself personally I'd rather get taxed at 25% rather than 50% and be able to choose my health care.
I agree with the comment about wireless mice. I seriously dislike the hassle of batteries - just not worth it.
I have a Lenovo W500 with a 15.4" 1920x1200 so they are still in production.

They won't have anything to complain about without us.

Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these.

He has been working for the EPA as an economist. Not a climatologist.
His prior publications are in law and economics journals. Not science journals.
He is no doubt very qualified to asses the economic impact of EPA actions.
Not so much the veracity of various competing scientific theories of climate change.
So now we know what the hardware requirements for Windows 10 are going to be.

Silly rabbit, airports don't have decent food.
They do. It's called the Open-RD Client.
About $250 though.
Unfortunately as far as I have been able to find SqeezeCenter is not just an install. It is a port.
If I could run SqueezeCenter on one of these I'd be all over it.
