Allow me to recommend perusing some of Moses Avalon's books, which spell out the whole deal in detail on how royalties are computed.
Notable details include: if it's on CD, royalties are 75% because CDs are "new media". If it sells for 80% of full retail ($18) or less, you lose 50% because it's mid-tier (if it sells in bargain bins, you get nothing per unit). If it sells over the Internet, there's a 25% levy for a wire cost.
If you can't think of protectionism in the auto industry, you ought to be looking at it's immunity to externalities that many other industries don't enjoy, import restrictions for non-US auto manufacturers, and the fucking about with the steel industry.
And a quick visit to snopes will debunk the idea the highways were built for defense purposes (in the US, anyway).
I used to wrangle Macs for money, and after the Great Norton debacle (where they shipped 3.0, whose disk defragmenter defragged your disk by wiping it clean), I pretty much gave up on it - it regularly did more harm than good.
It's kind of ironic that something starting out as a RISCish processor is going back to the older mainframe & VAX architectures where single intructions execute what would be lines of code in a high level language.
Not that it would hurt any to have an op that does TCP checksumming in silicon.
That's an interesting assumption. When you say your G3 has SCSI, do you mean you've added a third party controlled and modern SCSI drives? Because if you've just got Apple's default Fast SCSI interfact, the IDE drives in a modern Mac will shit all over anything in your G3.
Let's face it: primarily the record companies moved us all to CDs to allow them to let slide their back catalog of LPs and secondarily because CD sound is better.
Wrong. They do it because it lets them stiff the public, by getting them to buy a more expensive medium and thereby accept a price rise for something that's cheaper, and it lets them stiff artists on royalties, because they decrease royalties relative to LPs on the specious grounds that CDs are a new, unproven media that the recod company is taking a risk with - and yes, this is still in many standard recording contracts. Of course, artists are beginning to wise up to this scam, and strike the notion that the CD is special new technology.
The fact that companies like Sony (with its consumer electronics and music label lines) are trying to get you to buy new players and copies of your old albums is just another attempt to generate the massive reissuing sales, with massively lower reissuing royalties, that they got with CDs.
Intergraph won't block sales in the long term; that would be stupid. They'll use the block (or threat thereof) as leverage to get a few bucks a unit out of Intel for all the Itanics. Which will make them money - why would they gut Intel for no financial benefit?
DVI and a decent chipset - I'd be interested to know why they didn't go with a mobile Radeon or GeForce chipset, which would presumably be OK heat and power wise for the enclosure.
Even with only mediocre graphics, it's a tempting bumble.
I was referring to an Australasian study that appeared in a dead tree magazine. If you'd bothered to read my post, you'd see I wasn't claiming anything about the States.
If you read the fucking post, your comments would be unecessary. And that's why there's so much rubbish in threads. Get a clue. Or a reading primer.

In any case it seems that extending the terms many years after the authors death does little to promote the author to create new works.
This is not (entirely) true. One of the few, perhaps only, worthwhile Presidential autobiographies is that of Grant, and it's also a valuable American Civil War resource. It was written by Grant when he was dying of cancer, solely to provide an income for his wife, who outlived him.
There's de jure unlimited and de facto unlimited - and that's the problem. Allowing retrospective extensions every time copyrights may expire, or setting up terms which exceed the average person's lifetime by a vast amount may be, in a narrow sense, limited, but are not in any reasonable sense.
Uh, which model Toyota are you comparing. I'm pretty sure if you got a comparable Toyota - like a Supra or Soarer - you could hit 145 mph quite easily. If you've picked up a Corolla, well, it ain't designed to do that.
This is an underexamined part of the problem. Microsoft specifically disclaim that Windows is in any way suited to use in nuclear reactors and for sundry other critical uses. Why the fuck are people building operating theatre systems on it?
NT 4 and Office 97 are no longer officially supported, and Microsoft no longer recognise qualifications for such. You can no longer purchase them, and you'll have a hard time finding replacement hardware that has drivers (indeed, it's already getting hard to run Win2K on some new lines of laptops).
Once you've upgraded some systems in the office to the next most recent systems because you can't buy NT4, then put on a newer version of Office with incompatible file formats, you'll find it to hard to leave everyone else behind.
Too many people pontificate on the topic of leaving the old stuff in place without having a fucking clue what the real world implications of this are.
However, you'll also need to factor in average income as well. Don't know about the States, but in Australasian surveys, cars are more expensive in terms of the number of weeks the average person is required to work in order to afford one than they were 25 years ago.
Of course, they're vastly superior, and it's hard to compare like with like (I doubt most mid-70s model cards could even get on the road today, which brings us back to the poster's point).
And the names you can trademark - Leonardo di Caprio (the actor who has been described as "looking like a teenage lesbian", as opposed to the other Leonardo di Caprios out there) owns the name as a trademark. Too bad if anyone else with the same name want to be an actor...
It implies that RedHat cannot, for example, patch an exploit in CVS and ship it any more. It could even be said to imply RedHat can't ship CVS - in as much as they modify vanilla CVS in order to package it.
Yeah, that's right. Redhat should just keep shipping software in the face of legal opinion telling them they can't. Selfish bastards. They should include a pirated copy of Windows for dual-boot gaming, too.
Go, learn a little about noise-related fatigue. If your work environment has a high background noise level, you'll be too tired to work effectively. Doesn't matter how quick your system is if you're too tired to use it properly.
This gets worse in open office spaces; by the time you add up aircon, hard drives, printers, monitor whine, it's all nasty.
You in the UK have survived two world wars with no ill effect, despite shipping blockades, on the back of food produced in Autralia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The world has huge food surpluses.
Admittedly, the UK might not get such reasonable terms from Australia and New Zealand as you did then, thanks to 1973.

Indeed. One of Avalon's books spells out how easy it is for artists to end up in the negative - "earning" a loss on albums.

Whee - mid-tier pricing! Immediate 50% cut to the artists' royalties!
And how many theatres in your area have a setup caable of handling 70mm films any more?

Norton, ahh yes.

The IVs may be. I have some old first gen Fast SCSI 7200 RPM units. Loudest damn drives I've ever owned.
