One of my business professors bought each of his classes delivery pizza with what he got from the publisher(combination of cash and selling off free copies). At maybe $3 or $6 per student, not a whole hell of a lot.
Or he could have just been giving us free pizza for no reason./anecdote, not data.
To expand on that, "well regulated" means "a proper, functional" militia, i.e. an effective one. And if you look at the rest of the sentence, then the meaning becomes clear.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
In (bad) modern english: Because an effective militia is needed to keep a free State secure, the People need to be able to have in their personal possession the weaponry to do so.
If they are keeping it safe from a foreign state or a coup d'etat, they would need grenades, rockets, etc. It used to be acceptable to privately own a warship or a crew served artillery piece.
Long ago, an author published a long screed against the evils of pens, that they made writing too easy. You didn't have to lug around heavy clay tablets, papyrus was wasted when words couldn't be edited like tablets could before they were baked. Heck, you didn't even need an oven.
After publication, his editor received several spiteful singing telegrams from greyhairs complaining that his drivel was published, as evidence was clear that writing itself was making people stupid and forgetful.
Exactly. Now if they were putting the tracker into shoes/clothing/wallet/purse, that would be a violation because they are tracking the person, not the car.
As somebody who has worked at several companies making products that include it, Velcro is a particular brand of hook and loop fastener. And their lawyers will let you know it.
I wish they'd spend half that effort letting everyone know what the generic name is.
Because if I'm not using any of their work, why should I pay for it?
If whatever patents MS is claiming are being infringed were valid, everyone would know exactly which ones because MS would be shouting from the rooftops the cool things they came up with that nobody had ever thought of before and all the developers would be saying "This was clearly the right thing to do once Microsoft made it obvious. We never would have thought of it ourselves, but how can we make our product without it now."
The patents in question probably are like the ones MS is suing Barnes & Noble for, most of them are stupid: displaying a webpage before downloading the background, showing download status over the content, adjusting text selection, annotating a document without changing it, using one screen to control another screen.
Just do it the same way we define "burglary tools". If you have it on you and you are committing burglary, it's a burglary tool. Otherwise, no big deal.
I can carry a flashlight most of the time and not get hassled. But if I'm walking out of a business late at night with a sack of computer bits that don't belong to me and get caught, I'll be charged with theft and possession of burglary tools(the flashlight).
Software that is the equivalent of lockpicks(dunno, wardriving kit?) should still be legal, but some governments have made it so you can have lockpicks for fun, but you can't just be walking around with them without a locksmith's license.

Hrm.. There's a question: if we had stuck with gopher-based internet, would monkey punching flash ads still have happened?
Open the taps and light a match?
A similar device to do 3d vision for robots used to(still does) cost at least in the mid thousands if not low tens of thousands of dollars.
The same 4 digits that Universities regularly post on the walls of lecture halls because they don't want to post your grade next to your name?
Nothing stops an idiot home user from giving out the root password to any program that asks for it.
A video game got nominated for an Emmy. Say it isn't an art form now.
Er, vocode it....
Crap.

Sterilize it with heat(but without burning it it) and then use it for fertilizer.
However, that is kind of energy intensive. Giant fresnel furance?
The heat transfers through the air bearing, which is very thin and in the paper is dry nitrogen gas, IIRC.

Not likely, the word has been used in computing for at least 30 years. And was used to describe dishwashers back in the 1940's
