If Konami were the claimant, we'd have another #FUCKONAMI event. But Fox is. This means Fox is claiming to be "authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed", which would imply that Fox is either the owner or the exclusive licensee of this element of Double Dribble.
Disney owns copyright in elements it introduced, such as character costume designs, names of characters whom the Grimms or H. C. Andersen or whoever didn't name (such as Ariel, Dopey, and the like), and plot changes that completely nullify the moral of the story (as described in Willard Gaylin's On Being and Becoming Human and elsewhere). It doesn't own copyright in anything described in the original work, and others are free to make sequels not based on Disney's copyrighted additions. Hence Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, Happily Ever After, and Shrek.
Still co-owned. Except in the most egregious cases, such as the SOPA blackout of January 2012, FOX News is unlikely to cover opposition to the expansion of copyright because it shares a parent company with a movie studio that benefits from said expansion and thus benefits from voters being uninformed of the ramifications of copyright maximalism. This is where CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News are all expected to slant the same way because of Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Studios, and 20th Century Fox respectively.
Copyright in the clip likely belongs to Konami, the developer of Double Dribble. But don't break out your #FUCKONAMI just yet, as we don't know the terms of any agreement that may exist between Fox and Konami.
It could be the case that Fox obtained permission from Konami, copyright owner of Double Dribble, and then used the clip pursuant to 17 USC 103(a), which states that an unauthorized derivative work is not eligible for copyright, and/or a supposition that the uploader's contribution to the clip do not "represent an original work of authorship" (17 USC 101).
Computer yes, personal computer no. An Android tablet is a personal computer, as the person who owns it can control what computing is done on it by installing an app for making apps, such as AIDE. An iPhone or iPad is controlled by Apple unless paired to a Mac running Xcode.
The joke is that many non-technical users misuse "computer" to mean "personal computer". But many users who know just enough to be dangerous can't tell certain differences that bear on their continued freedom to compute.
Desktop keyboards have Home and End keys. This includes your three desktops, the terminals in the server lab, and the team member workstations on which you pair program. And the two laptops that lack Home and End are likely to have the Fn key combinations that I described.
You don't get to complain about time lost inputting data when you chose a fucking laptop keyboard and trackpad to input that data.
I chose a laptop because choosing otherwise would have resulted in not inputting data at all while I wait to arrive at a desk. Not all work situations in which one is expected to input data provide a desk on which to set a separate keyboard and mouse. Using a laptop while a passenger on a bus, train, or airplane is an example.
I can reach right Alt with my right thumb and Left and Right with my right pinky. It's easy on a laptop, where the arrow keys are up under the right Shift key. I admit it's a stretch on a full-size desktop keyboard, but a desktop keyboard is more likely to have dedicated "multimedia keys" for Back and Forward. Or do browsers used with European keyboards map AltGr in such a way that AltGr+Left and AltGr+Right do not go back and forward?
In Firefox 46, forms that are part of the initial HTML document get restored properly, but forms created through scripted manipulation of the DOM, such as Slashdot's current reply form, usually don't. A workaround on Slashdot is to use the old reply form, which I can access by middle-clicking "Reply to This" or by right-clicking it and choosing "Open Link in New Tab".
You must be a very slow typist if you take time to check, before each press of backspace, whether or not your palm has since contacted your laptop's trackpad to cause a click event that changes the focus.
Modifiers don't help, because Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End are also indispensable, as are Ctrl+Shit+Home and Ctrl+Shit+End.
Is your keyboard a piece of "Shit"?
Seriously, a compact keyboard might map Home and End to Fn+Left and Fn+Right. Then Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End, Ctrl+Shift+Home, Ctrl+Shift+End would become Ctrl+Fn+Home, Ctrl+Fn+End, Ctrl+Shift+Fn+Home, and Ctrl+Shift+Fn+End. And if you aim your left pinky well, you can hit all three modifiers (Ctrl+Shift+Fn).
Then it becomes a nuisance for read-only pages where fast key navigation is very useful.
Alt+Left, Alt+Right
it is the form developer's fault for not building a navigation confirmation into their page
With JavaScript, one can add a listener for the beforeunload event. But a lot of pop-up ads have abused onbeforeunload to add an "are you sure you want to close this ad?" alert. Besides, how should a form developer do this in an environment where JavaScript is blocked, such as NoScript, LibreJS, tracking blockers that mistakenly block the CDN hosting a script, or a corporate MITM proxy put in place "to block ransomware". That's why some Slashdot users have recommended using the heuristic of a text input or text area that the user has modified as a proxy for there being substantial unsaved changes.
Then a web form could use JavaScript to remap Enter to act like Tab unless either A. Ctrl+Enter was pressed, or B. one of the call-to-action buttons at the end of the form is focused. Would this be enough?
Be usable by keyboard and mouse -- increasingly gone in many programs, especially frequently updated ones desperately trying to be hip
At least with backspace no longer going Back, Alt+Left will probably still go Back. And for all it apes Chrome, Firefox still has a traditional menu bar that you can show with the Alt key.
Again, as a PC gamer you have a choice in which type of control you want to use rather than being locked to whichever designs have been licensed out by the game corporation.
But will a PC game that supports a USB gamepad and co-op multiplayer usually let you plug in two to four of them and split your (possibly 4K) screen? Or do they require a separate computer and a separate copy of the game for each player?
In addition to Apple's own retail stores, Apple partners with franchised stores called Apple Authorized Resellers. For example, Fort Wayne, Indiana, is 90 miles away from an Apple-owned retail store in Mishawaka, but the city has two franchisees: Signature Mac on the north side and Simply Mac on the west side.
Have they finally made it so these updates don't require the carrier's permission to install?
My tablet's Wi-Fi carrier is Comcast. Why would I need Comcast's permission to install a dist-upgrade? Even on phones, if someone buys a factory-unlocked phone, why would he need the carrier's permission to remove the SIM and install a dist-upgrade over Wi-Fi?
That would break the feature introduced in iOS 5 that allowed iPhone and iPad to enter mobile-only households, which have no Mac or Windows PC on which to run iTunes. One of my co-workers was mobile-only. Or would Apple direct mobile-only users to the nearest Apple Store or Apple authorized dealer?

Assuming parent comment was sarcastic:

I don't use a laptop or a trackpad, because I value my ability to get shit done.
Even while away from a desk? Please see my other comment.

How does the page save the state if the user or the user's network is blocking non-free script as a security measure to stop the spread of ransomware?
I use RoboForm so I haven't manually filled out a web form in years.
Did you also compose and submit this comment through RoboForm?

When you are editing text, backspace edits text.
When you are not editing text, backspace takes you back.
Accidentally touching your laptop's trackpad with your palm can change the input state from "editing text" to "not editing text". So add a third line:
When you are editing text, but you accidentally touch part of your computer wrong, backspace takes you back.

Nintendo did license Mario to Interplay so that it could compete in the "Fictional Character Teaches Typing" genre with with Brøderbund's Mavis Beacon games.
You should have insured your Wii console for the cost of the console plus the cost of the licenses of the games node-locked to that console.
