Gee, that means the hardwood flooring in my 184 year old house must be a fantasy.
Stain as desired, coat with the best polyurethane available. When the poly wears through, recoat before the wood is damaged. In high traffic areas, use runners.
Software cannot be successfully analogized to hardware. FOSS can benefit from each person's contribution, its price is not affected by improved features or bug removal or robustness, the ability of each person to improve it does not make it more expensive. Hardware, particularly in high volume applications, is very much cost driven; changes that allow an assembly to be snapped together (preventing disassembly for all time) instead of screwed together reduce purchase price or increase profit margins.
There's just no sense in making a watch that can be repaired with a $4 part and 2 hours of labor, when a new watch costs $5.
Unemployment is caused by government interference with the market. If you're willing to work for 5 cents an hour, finding a job is easy, but the government has made it illegal.
College Bowl (G.E. College Bowl) ran for 12 years with moderate success on network TV. No amount of publicity, no format, will make a serious quiz show anywhere near as popular as a good sporting event.
A helmet big enough to cushion the brain in a full speed running collision - probably about 2 foot (60 cm) diameter - would have tremendous leverage on the neck, thus risking death or quadraplegia from spinal damage. To fix that, the helmet would have to be affixed to the body, resulting in a uniform reminiscent of a deep-sea diving suit.
There is no practical way to make the helmet alone do the whole job for complete brain safety.
Offhand, I can think of three mechanisms whereby cannabis promotes poverty. One is that money spent on cannabis is not invested. Another is that cannabis reduces the critical faculty, making it more difficult to distinguish good ideas from poor ideas. The third is that the time spent smoking pot is time not spent in productive activities.
At the high school level, there are a number of options. One is to eliminate football contests between schools. Since the most damage is caused by high speed collisions, at least some damage can be prevented by not playing tackle football; flag football is an option. Standards for unnecessary roughness can be lowered; a violation might result in expulsion from the game, severe violations a one-year or lifetime prohibition. I suppose there is room for improvement in helmets and padding. Flooding the field to a depth of 30 cm would lower running speeds, although I suppose there would be a significant risk of drowning.
Unless he's changed from 50 years ago, Superman has fine values: "Truth, justice, and the American way." If you're looking for television cartoon heroes, you're better off not looking for muscles in tights: try Danger Mouse, Jimmy Neutron, Inspector Gadget. Scooby-Doo has occasional good episodes. Disney's Darkwing Duck has some appeal.
Netburst, deep pipelines, rambus. Not misstep after misstep, but an explosion of missteps all at once. They were bad strategic errors. The floating point error was of a different nature; it was a design error and a verification error.
There is plenty of demand for ICs built on non-leading-edge technology. For instance, On Semiconductor has custom foundry services at 0.18u, 0.25u, 0.35u, 0.6u, and 0.7u. 0.35 micron is about 14 years old now, IIRC.
Anybody with enough money can buy the Cadence software and call themselves a fabless semiconductor company. If you aren't at least part-owner of a fab, you have almost no influence on the direction fab technology takes, which is what this thread is all about.
In jury trials, judges should be like moderators, or enforcers of Roberts Rules of Order. In addition, they should bring relevant portions of the law to the jury's attention. They might even point out to the jury how the law has been interpreted and how (he thinks) it should be understood. But he should not be attempting to arrogate the decision of what is legal.
I have no idea if the following is correct, as it's based partly on hearsay.
The US Constitution states that copyrights are for a "limited time". In common law, 99 years is limited time, but 100 years and over is considered forever. Thus copyrights cannot be extended beyond 99 years without amending the Constitution.

Wouldn't a better solution be to allow nobody but lawyers to own, coach, and play football games?

All clothing is padding. I do not want to watch naked football games. Cheerleaders, however...
Is cliff diving a sport? Jerome (Curly) Howard probably received enough head slaps to contribute to his stroke.

In about 1959 I saw organized grade school teams - 10 year olds - playing tackle football. It's not new.

Consider the name a Darwinian test. Those smart enough to use GIMP despite its name have a competitive advantage over those who refuse to do so.

The chemical reaction was going too fast, so I added some cognitive impairer,
The term gimp is NOT derogatory. There is no classier man than David Niven, and he used it to refer to himself in one of his films.
It takes two to have an obstinance.

"one generation" is vague.

Hey libeler, your name says it all.
Judges are attempting to usurp the decision on whether something is legal, but juries should not allow them to do so.
