As you experience certain sensory input patterns, your mental pathways become accustomed to them. The input is eventually anticipated, and even missed when absent.
Use ethernet. Cables don't have these kinds of problems. I just wish somebody made lighter ethernet cables though, my iPhone cable backpack is killing me.
I guess it could depends on what exactly is copyrighted. Five years seems awfully short for something like a movie but could be appropriate for a song or for software. The original idea of 14 years was probably derived from something because it seems such an odd number to pick.
How about the following copyright lengths: Software: 5 years Music/Songs: 8 years Movies: 14 years
Things like characters should be trademarked so that nobody else can use the "Mickey Mouse" character but the movies using that character would still only be copyrighted for 8 years.
What do you mean six years? Although iWork for iOS came out only a little over a year ago, the original iWork for OS X is 8 years old. And before that there was Appleworks, released in 1984.
Apple haters don't even know their computer history and then bitch about Apple as if Microsoft is the only game in town.
It's not like it was Apple's job to release Office anyway, it's a Microsoft product. What next? Are you going to complain about Nintendo not releasing Zelda for your Xbox360?
It's pretty obvious what Microsoft are doing here: 1. release a very limited version of Office for iOS 2. dumb users will badmouth iOS/iDevices because "it can't even handle a full version of Office" 3. the Office file formats get to survive a little longer because "it's even compatible with Apple devices"
Very sneaky, but what do you expect from Microsoft?
Microsoft releases a half-baked Office for iOS while Apple is going to release a near-complete version of iWork for Web browsers? Even if iWork "Web Edition" doesn't offer everything the OS X version does, I'm pretty sure it will have things like text alignment, fonts, colors and frickin' bullet lists.
The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, he could apply for a second 14year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others.
How about "25 years without any extension, then it goes into the public domain". What these money-hungry Hollywood and publishing executives don't seem to realize is that everything DRM'ed will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
If I were him I'd sign with Fox to do McBain movies. A parody of himself played by himself. I think it could be hilarious, especially given his age. Sort of the "I-won't-ever-retire" cop that's only a shadow of his former glory.

I also had no idea that registering on Facebook gave you access to prime ministers.

Who the hell is Sadim?
And with the XBox One, this vgcats strip now also applies to Microsoft as well as EA.
It's like these two companies don't give a fuck about their own paychecks.

How about not using friggin' Facebook at all?
So we're talking about Volvo, not Volvo. It's hard to see how AC got confused.
What's wrong with LynxOS/AOLserver/MariaDB/Perl?
The construction workers don't get a check from tenants every month either.
At least it isn't called EvanDB.

I was referring to something else.

We're nobody's bitch.
I use unencrypted XML and CSV files you insensitive clod!
And their movie is about the song (censored), so the trial itself could become part of it.
Oh, man. Welcome to the Jungle.

Bring back the original copyright terms:
The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, he could apply for a second 14year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others.

Help, help, you're being repressed?
They didn't. The last one was episode VI.
He looked like a bloody skunk.
