That's a workable solution to proprietary resources under active copyright, since copyright protects the expression of the idea, not the idea itself.
Patents are more problematic because they have become so broad in their scope can not only cover a specific method for implementation of an idea, but the idea itself. In such cases, even a clean-room reverse-engineered re-implementation of the idea may still be vulnerable.
Is there a high-security facility that would both...
prohibit ingress of cell phones
have micro SD readers accessible within the perimeter?
If not, you're still going to need to smuggle a reader in, at which point you may as well smuggle a keychain drive or a full-size SD card with a flip-out USB port.
Phones are a much better infiltration vector, especially if you can bring the USB "charging" cable with it, or if a careless/thoughtless addition of a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse inadvertently enabled Bluetooth file transfers.
Personal devices (phones, memory cards) with built in wifi are a potential leak vector as well, depending on the facility. Depending on window placement, nearby parked car with a laptop in the trunk hooked to an outboard antenna in the cars back window could receive data transfers from a phone or SD card within the perimeter. (Name the network after a nearby neighbor/business and who would question its presence?) The transmitting phone/card could then be scrubbed of contra-band data in case of inspection at egress.
I realize this is a fine line, but the viewer rules don't place any legal restrictions on the content itself, only on the features provided viewers.
Person C would allowed by CC-SA-By to take a screencap of Person A's image that Person B uploaded, print it out, use it in a CC-SA-By licensed derivative work, and so on. If Person C were to request it, Person B would be obligated to provide the image file he uploaded, in accordance with Person A's license terms. If he no longer had a local copy, Person B could export it from SL with his own viewer, and send it along to Person C, but that is Person B's business.
SL is providing a display mechanism for the content to Person B. They have no more obligation to provide a distribution mechanism for their users' source/binaries than does a cable provider when CC-SA content gets shown on CurrentTV or a Public Access channel. If Person B were to distribute framed prints of the image through the mail, neither the the frame shop nor the postal service would be responsible for Person B providing binaries of the file, nor would they be required to scan the print on behalf of the recipient. They are not parties to the license, only Persons A, B, and C are.
No so, it only means that your TPV is not allowed to be the distribution mechanism for SL content, CC-SA/GPL or otherwise. Nothing is stopping the creator from distributing, or a recipient from modifying/redistributing, appropriately licensed content by other means (email, torrents, web downloads, etc), and a user then importing to SL via a compliant viewer.
Parallel: While a radio station gives musician no mechanism to provide listeners with the score to their compositions over the air, there is nothing to stop the songwriters' distribution of sheet-music or recordings by other means of their choosing.
Both the lens and the image sensor would need an order of magnitude more resolution than the display for this to even be close to working. That's even before accounting for uncorrected edge curvature distortions in the lens, perspective skew if the sensor and display are not perfectly parallel, aliasing due to sync/frame-rate discrepancies, screen glare, lens flare, light pollution, color spaces...
There's a reason I used to charge $$-$$$ to photograph works of art for reproduction. It takes a whole lot of know-how, attention to detail, and precisely calibrated hardware to make one near-perfect copy. Making dozens per-second in your living room would require technology indistinguishable from magic. Perhaps someday, but not any time soon.
For all that, some people watch bootlegs made in theatres with hand-held phone-cams.
So Apple decided that the people who discover and publicize ways to exploit cracks in the wall around Apple's garden that they were no longer welcome in said walled garden?
I don't know that it'll accomplish anything, but I can't say as I blame them.
When I often consider whom I would choose to make a movie about thinking leaders who manage to diffuse conflicts through subtle social and economic pressures, Roland Emerich never fails to make my short list. Of course I would have thought Michael Bay or Uwe Boll to have been more ideal choices.
Multi-window is nice if you've got a ginormous wide-screen or multiple monitors. Multi-window on a smaller screen, or god forbid a laptop, is a real pain unless you live in it day-in day-out. Kudos for letting users choose the right tool for the job.
Whatever annoyances carrying traffic to/from 4chan may have been causing them, how can that possibly outweigh the stings they're going to get from poking the bees nest with a stick?
I like it. I don't know what the aggregate increase in efficiency across the net would be, but I'm betting if Google is suggesting it, it could be significant. While there are some potential abuses, they're really no different than what can already be done at the router/server level currently.

This is definitely a smaller program, but I wouldn't characterize overlapping functionality with header address space in assembley "simpler."
I'm totally going to watch the Iran Contra hearings. Inouwe chewing out North FTW.

I can see the data, man.
Real men compile their USB-charger Trojans from source.
Or rather: Duracell®
They could still provide a spec-compliant addware client to their customers if they so chose.
I can save entire machine states in Virtual Box.

I'd like you to consider that web-address "off-limits," as a favor to me.
Microsoft's patent portfolio is the largest and strongest in the software industry...
..for certain definitions of "the software industry" which exclude the International Business Machines Corporation.

Hober Mallow's wallet said "Bad Motherfucker" on it, and was powered by a tiny nuclear pellet.

This sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing for carriers to provide UPON BEING SERVED WITH A WARRANT!

Is it good or bad that my first thought was to make a multi-touch battle mat for wargaming?
It's not like it costs more to have a longer, more complex password.
Only if you have an unlimited data plan. ;)
