    Having their works expire might convince Hollywood to come up with better stuff that isn't so derivative.

  3. Re:Steamboat Willie Event Horizon on What Would Have Entered the Public Domain Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    Mickey Mouse is a Trademark, the Steamboat Willy Cartoon should be Public domain so i could buy it at Target in the 1 dollar bin in DVD form published by some fly by night Chinese Company.

    That doesn't mean someone can Make their own Mickey Mouse Cartoons, as the Characters would still be owned by Disney, it just means that Works the Characters appeared in would be Public Domain.

    I'll get you Doctor Venture!!!!!

    In a way having a "Guild of Calamatis Intent" with "Costumed Aggression" and a "League of Super Scientists" might actually work to accelerate scientific discoveries.

    To be honest there wasn't that much feminist lit that many years ago compared to all the other stuff from that same time period. Plus maybe all of the feminist lit DID enter public dmain.

  9. You are doing it wrong... on Court Orders Shutdown of H-1B Critics' Websites · · Score: 1

    Why did the post the file on their site, why not make an anonymous Photo bucket/flickr or other photo hosting account and link the document to that site.

    Can they shut them down for linking to a document on another site that has been uploaded by anonymous?

    It would be a harder case to prosecute.

    Apparently for a group of ITgrunt they lack common knowledge on HOW and WHY the internet works the way it does.

    Don't host controversial source documents directly on your site, it is only asking for trouble,. Instead create and dummy account somewhere and host it there. Problemo solved.

  10. Everything is made there anyways... on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 1

    And it surprises people they can build a train this quickly, all the parts were made in China so it is not like they had to wait weeks for certain parts to be shipped over to their country. Plus anyone who delays the project quickly became an involuntary organ donor.

  16. Proto cyber brain.... on Typing With Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I am thinking the first generation "cyber brain" will be a small implantable blue tooth device powered by your body heat or blood glucose that can link to your phone and behave as a "Texting Keyboard". It will be nothing more than an array of implantable electrodes under the scalp that can pickup the brain waves and replay them to the body powered CPU chip. The wires under the scalp will be made of a bio-compatible carbon fiber and as thick as a human hair which will be implanted with only one 1/4 inch incision into the scalp.

    This will allow people to use phones that may not even have a keyboard and would make the iPhone even more popular.

    It will solve the problem of having to wear a bulky brainwave helmet and dealing with the sensors moving around.

    It will be an output only device, the ones with brain inputs will take a little longer due to figuring out how to interface the brain directly.

  21. Re:Flying near c.? on PhD Candidate Talks About the Physics of Space Battles · · Score: 1

    So say I flew to Alpha Centari at .9999999 c.

    Aboard the ship only 2 months would pass, though on earth 4 years.

    So Aboard the ship it would "seem" that I was flying to Alpha Centari at 18 times the speed of light as my time would run slower relative to the outside world and clocks on the ship would run slower than one on earth by a factor of 18 times.

    Time is relative, relative to on board the ship it would "seem' tot he pilot that they were traveling at 18x the Speed of light on their way to Alpha Centari.

    On the Earth the ship would appear to be moving .999999 c ralative to earth.
