2400 dpi is standard for 1-bit halftoned images, for an image where you can have 24 bits per pixel, 300dpi is plenty to be the same as most printed work.
Start using the methods and devices commercially and you prevent them from being patented, everyone can use them freely.
Patent them and donate the patents to a non-profit, and you get a huge tax write off based on the assumed commercial value of the patents.
Disney isn't really doing anyone any favors here, they patent the common potato cannon and then donate the patents to a non-profit for the tax write off.
That sounds a whole lot like jigdo for Debian. It's pretty cool to do it that way, you wind up downloading the same amount of data anyway, and you don't have to worry about security on a fresh install, all the security errata are the very latest on your ISO!
Static ISOs are inferior in many ways to a dynamically built ISO.
The point is, are you really going to trust legislators to understand all these intricacies and not screw it up in the process and outlaw legitimate things?
No laws should be passed to compensate for terrible software design. Microsoft should just fix their shit.
How about this... don't let the user run anything as administrator that shouldn't be... make it part of the filesystem even. Something like bin vs sbin, except normal users wouldn't even have read/execute access.
All things that normal users might want to run shouldn't be in there, i.e. lsmod, lsof.. and various other status utilities that are useful to run as a normal user, but for whatever reason have wound up in sbin on many systems.
because in 20 years, they might come back to me for reprints.
Or you die, your stuff gets thrown away, and they lose their pictures in a fire.
They had no legal way to back up those images into digital media, it would violate your copyright.
The point of this whole thing is that the slim chances that the owner of IP has of making money during the later years of copyright isn't a compelling reason to keep these works out of the public domain.
Patents are already in the name of individuals. I don't think a corporation can be put down as an "inventor", but they can own the rights to the patent, obviously.
which is sufficient for small parts (like a lawnmower.)
That's why those bore welders you liked to are sold for repairing heavy equipment?
Maybe you forgot one of the forms of Ohm's law, W=I^2R. Note there is no V directly involved. This form of ohm's law can be used to figure power.
1000A at 1 volt would easily melt a 12 gauge wire. The same kW at 120 volts would be carried at 8.3 amps, which a 12 gauge wire could easily handle. This is a direct consequence of I^2R, and the small resistance of the wire.
Now given, it's hard to use low voltage capacitors to get any significant joules of energy stored up, but there's no need to use high voltage to vaproize metal... an arc welder is only a couple volts at a few hundred amps.
At low voltages, you wouldm't even feel a tingle if you touched it.
I have a print server that sets PSH on every packet it sends... There are a lot of shitty TCP/IP implementations out there, in production no less! As this is just a toy project, cut him some slack.
You can always dial something like 10-10-321 on your landline to make long distance calls... it's not very expensive. If you only make a few long distances calls a year, it's definitely better than any plan where you pay a fixed amount every month.
FCC has little juristiction over cable, and some high court (USSC IIRC) already ruled that the Internet is not considered "broadcasting", so the FCC has absolutely no juristiction over the Internet.
Complaining and suing are vastly different things. The force of the courts and law are not part of your free speech, when you are talking about companies selling legal products, to willing consumers, with no coersion involved.
Your philsophy isn't much different from those that want to ban "obscene" programs from TV. You can change the fucking channel, the same as you can stop eating fucking greasy food.
The way I understand it, it's not legal in the US to include any images of money in any advertisements period. I believe I read this on the engraving office web site. I wasn't aware of any resizing loopholes, I just thought enforcement was pretty lax, especially with local advertisers.
It's in style these days to bash unhealthy fast food.
It's just another thing for the people who don't believe in personal responsibility to latch on to... The evil corporations are forcing people to eat fat! How dare they!
I wouldn't be surprised if that new "documentary" about the guy that ate only fast food for a month wasn't funded by the various lawyers that stand to benefit from class action suits against fast food.
Fast food is the next tobacco in the real life slippery slope of litigation that hinges on the belief that no one is responsible for their actions.
Another is to get the price for a sale now without actually selling your stock now, which can result in different tax treatment.
No one out there get any bright ideas to try this with common stock to lower your taxes without knowing exactly what you are doing.
The IRS looks very closely at your trading history if you "short against the box", i.e. sell common short stock you hold as long too. There are some very specific rules you have to follow about how close to the end of your fiscal year you can do this. If it's not within the requirements, you may wind up having to take the income against your previous year's income, even if the actual final sale was in the next tax year.
Consult a tax book or a tax person, obviously, or just don't short against the box.:)
Make a button on the toolbar, the "new tab" button. Put it right next to the URL bar (where it should be by default anyway). When you want to paste, get in the habit of opening a clean tab first.
Whats more interesting is that sometimes what control+v pastes is different from what the middle-click pastes.
Yeah, there's basically two clipboards. The one when you just highlight something, and the one where you click "copy" in the menu.
The confusion comes when bugs in some programs confuse the two (or only implement one of them.. cough xchat cough). It's extremely hard to convince egotistical programmers that their clipboard behaviour is actually wrong and confusing to users.

You only need 300dpi to rival printed material.
2400 dpi is standard for 1-bit halftoned images, for an image where you can have 24 bits per pixel, 300dpi is plenty to be the same as most printed work.
Yes, because the people responsible are the people running the foreign governments and phone companies.
It's not like it's some rogue criminal, you'd have to basically invade the country and overthrow the corrupt government if you wanted to stop them.
I've built potato cannons to launch at least twice that high. It's not rocket science. :)

And how many messages does the Linux Kernel Mailing List send per day?
You think large legitimate lists will count on everyone subscribing whitelisting the list correctly?
The supreme court has ruled that commercial speech does have a much more limited first amendment protection than other types of speech.
I'd probably believe Open Source was a bad thing if someone was giving me thousands of dollars to believe that too.

That's the open circuit voltage, once an arc is struck, the voltage drops to only a handful of volts at a few hundred amps.
Volts!=Amps.

You must have never played games on DOS if you claim that early DOS/Windows was a "a game playing platform"..
DOS/Windows was one thing, a spreadsheet and word processing platform. That's what it's still mostly used for.

If highlight clobbers something you copied with ctrl-c, then it's a bug in the program.
There are two clipboards, and highlighting should never clobber something you manually copied.
