Slap a big "You can't distribute our code or your modifications" on it.
Seriously, though, you don't need much of license to cover "hack it, don't share it". It is the copyright/patent crazies that add the "can't decompile, modify, etc". The default state of copyright is you buy it, you can bang on it, you can set fire to it, but you just can't make copies or derivative works.
All you really need to make clear is that you consider patches, mods, etc to be derivative works and remind them that they can't share them.
That will last until somebody makes the first User Group list, but at least you tried. Make sure you get enough money up front, because your consulting money will dry up after enough users feel overcharged that one gets into the fixit business.
Basically, yes. Sensing muscle activity is way easier/less noisy than picking up nerve impulses and the muscle action provides feedback to the nerves, which encourages them not to atrophy.
Seeing as they haven't done a damn thing about any other text reader, I think they can safely go fuck themselves. Amazon is not making audio recordings of books, the user is invoking a program to convert text to speech and pointing it at a text they bought from Amazon.
Now if Amazon was selling the audio recording of the Kindle reading the book, then they would have a case.
The peacock tail could be a "sexually" selected characteristic that is negative.
Much like the obsession of some with ridiculously large breasts or bodybuilding, the preference for a minor characteristic to detrimental levels can still spread.
Take the preference of hip to waist ratio. While having hips larger than your waist is a useful feature, indicating ability to pass a child and level of nutrition, people took it to such extremes so as to invent corsets and narrow the waist instead of expanding the hips. That caused all sorts of diseases and injuries.
So, too, with animals. A preferance for a feature indicating fitness can lead to the exageration of that feature instead of the underlying fitness and, if the size of the breeding pool or time between generations is sufficiently small, quickly spread to the detriment of the species.
Antlers too large to fight with, feathers too long to permit flight, tusks that grow so large as to pierce the brain, etc. All originally useful and indicating fitness, but selected for instead of the fitness they originally indicated.
If the pagefile is located on the encrypted volume, not much harm, might make cryptanalysis easier if someone can get two images of your drive at different times.
If the pagefile is not on the encrypted volume, then it is leaving chunks of no-longer-secure data for anyone to see.
I have some sci-fi paperbacks(1940's/50's/60's) from my dad & uncles that are so yellow I'm almost afraid to open them.
On the other hand, I've got some of their files that were originally on punchcard or paper tape that they moved formats through the years. Some of them I think they still have on the original punch card, somewhere.
It'd be trivial to put a touch sensor over the paper, same as the aftermarket touch sensors for EEEpc, but it'd add like $50 to the already annoying cost.
Where do the sex differences come in? It turns out that, if you bin the data based on sex and then perform a similar subtraction, male brains seem to be more active than their female peers, which the authors interpret in light of the female gender's reputation for being more empathetic.
.
If females were more empathic, you'd think their brain might be more focused on what the other person was thinking.
Sounds to me more like the female subjects didn't care and just weren't trying.
Much like Page Rank, you don't need a "known good". Start with everyone on even footing, passing their value on to those they sign, receiving value from those who sign them, and then iterate until it reaches a reasonably steady state.
I don't recall if there is a general "scientist" number, like there is Erdos for mathematicians, but in the off chance a crackpot network was to form and become larger than any of the networks of actual scientists, then you might want a "known good", but it wouldn't matter who in the network was it, as long as there was connectivity.
If it is the case that biologist or material engineers, etc, don't co-publish as often as mathematicians or have smaller network densities, then you are screwed without an oracle that could distinguish good scientists from bad, as the need for "known goods" would increase rapidly as connectivity decreased.
Violas are banned in secure facilities because of that, as they can network across the supposedly secure "air gap"./What, like you never played along with your modem's sync tones.
They get an order or two of magnitude more exposure. They can spam you without knowing your email! Or a computer, for that matter, as long as you have access at school, work, library, or cafe.
And if your area isn't particularly OCD about removing signage, the $.05 or $.10 it cost them can last for weeks, hitting thousands of people in high traffic areas, bringing the effective cost/person back down into the email range.
And they get all kinds of information from you that you wouldn't get from email, like your physical location when you saw the sign, approximately how long the sign has been up, a rough estimate of traffic of a certain kind in that area, etc.
If I didn't think they were littering scumsuckers of the same moral standings as spammers, I'd almost admire it.

It's called bluetooth. My cheap car stereo has it, what kind of system did you overpay for that doesn't?

How much does nintendo rob you for their logo?
I did several things recently that improved my company's capability to produce and reduced my budget expenses. Do you know what I got?
I got to keep my budget, so now I can spend it on more things that will increase output.
Unlike some places, where I'd just lose the extra money and thus have to be stupid to try. I never understood that logic.
That's nice if you only charge $.99, since many CC processors charge $.30 minimum.
On the other hand, any decent CC processor only charges 1-2% after that, while Apple keeps taking 30%.
I'd hate to sell anything expensive through Apple unless the margin was enormous(like, say, music).
$100? Jeez, a blackbery license is only $20 and you can hit up business users for a lot more for your software.
That's actually been on slashdot before.

Nah, they just figure if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying.
The problem with direct nerve stimulation, whether by electrode or induction, is that it tends to kill the nerves.
Perhaps if they could invent a chemical nerve stimulator, it might work out better.
And would "go" be on the top, bottom, middle, right or left?
I've been in towns with the horizontal kind that weren't even consistent in the same damn intersection.
Two finger(er toe) pecking, yes.
Touchtype, no.
Damn stubby toes.

Struth, most proponents of "Intelligent Sucking" lump all the theories of gravitation under Newtonism, despite it having centuries of new material.
Every time light lenses around a massive object, they all shout "Look, God sucked a little harder! Newton never predicted that, so it is all wrong."
Depressing, really.

Wrong fiction genre of annoying youth. Weasely is current fantasy.
The Wesley you want is science fantasy.
The envelope trick doesn't work anymore.
Anyone can steam the other flap open and reseal it.
Most windmills are only effective in a certain range of wind speeds, either unable to generate or suffering damage outside that range.
If you know what the wind forecast was, you could either adjust gearing ratios more rapidly, or stand down those unable to cope and reduce wear.
