you'd be off to one side and a car would sooner or later pull up next to you and trigger the loop.
How many minutes did you mean by "sooner or later"? There have been times at more than one intersection in my home town where I have waited ten minutes or more without a car. And when there is a car, it is making a lawful right turn on red or a left turn from the separately-actuated left turn only lane instead of going in my direction.
If you very inconsiderately prevent traffic from activating the loop
Even if you batched them and did them at some later time, you'd wind up with your online photos unprotected by copyright until your batch job went through.
Then give a 14-year grace period for initial registration, which matches the copyright term under the Copyright Act of 1790.
big companies [...] can afford to: [...] pay people to submit copyright applications for any works they do produce
But can a company afford to keep a record of copyright ownership up to date when it goes bankrupt? A lot of, for example, video game studios go bankrupt and sell their assets at auction to other companies that also end up going bankrupt.
It says you need to obey the law at all times, not just when it's convenient.
This goes for drivers as well. What use is spending $30,000 on a car if your city government is just going to take it from you by turning the light red and not turning it green?
What pushed me towards a PS3, after decades of PC gaming, was the large "lending library" of PS3 games offered by a co-worker.
Steam on PC now allows your co-worker to lend you her entire library.
Pay $60 for PS3 game
Run into a game design flaw that ruins your enjoyment, can't lawfully mod PS3 games. Use value $0, though it has resale value.
Pay $60 for a PC game that isn't online-only, run into a game design flaw that ruins your enjoyment, mod it out. After completing the game, add mods that increase replay value. Use value more than $0.
And yes, Steam has a contingency for how you can play your games if they go out of business. It's called, "offline mode".
How will offline mode survive a backup of user data and game binaries, reinstallation of the operating system, and restoration of user data and game binaries? And over the years, the Steam client has had plenty of bugs causing it to lose the "receipt" that allows a user to play a purchased a game in offline mode.
Get Windows 10, it has APPS that let you app other apps!
I'll believe you if you link to a page on Windows Store for Visual Studio. Until then, the only OS I know of that lets you app other apps with apps is Android, which has AIDE.
So long as they offer an experience comparable to Steam
I don't see how a console can "offer an experience comparable to Steam" while continuing to be a console. An "experience comparable to Steam" includes the ability to install mods, the ability to make mods, and the ability to Alt+F4 and open an IDE to theoretically make your own game from scratch.
If physical inability of a cyclist to give two required signals at once makes a bike defective, then all bikes are defective. Just to make sure, is that what you meant to imply? If not, what did I miss?
So just because I'm in a car Im responsible for an idiot on a bike running a [red light] and hitting me maybe killing himself?
Not directly. The only responsibility I can think of is that by making trips in a car that could be done on a bike, you might be contributing to the mentality that vehicle sensors at intersections need to detect only cars. So I admit your responsibility is tiny, but it's still greater than zero.
They go through red lights. [...] My mom gave me a state drivers manual for me to study.
What did your state driver's manual say about how to request a green light from a demand-actuated intersection? A lot of induction loops buried under the road in such intersections aren't sensitive enough to detect a bicycle stopped with its front and rear wheels over the crack in the road. Some won't even detect motorcycles.
That depends on a philosophical choice of how you define more or less useful. If a device's operating system is discovered to have a security vulnerability that is subsequently exploited, does the operating system become less useful? Or has it always been less useful because the vulnerability has always existed even when it was undiscovered and unexploited?
Having an outdated OS does not magically reduce the screen's quality or anything over time.
True, a high-quality screen displaying a ransom message is still just as high quality as it always was, but it's not as useful as it always was.
Android has another problem: even if you have the screen space for four phone-sized apps, apps have to explicitly opt in to running unmaximized, and few do.
Bicyclists should wait at red lights just like everyone else, for example. It doesn't mean "stop, look, then proceed if you don't see a car crossing". It means you wait until it turns green.
If a traffic signal's induction loop detector is not detecting a bicycle because of insufficient metal surface, how many minutes is a cyclist expected to wait at a red light before making a U-turn and finding another route?
Actually, Americans (assholes or not) do own the roads they drive on.
Not if they're living in the State of Indiana, which has leased its toll road to a foreign company. "Australia’s IFM Investors has agreed to a $5.725 billion deal to operate the 157-mile toll road that runs across Indiana between the Ohio Turnpike and Chicago Skyway for the next 66 years."

If so, then which 10" or 11.6" laptop does stooo recommend for use with X11/Linux?
So how does one go about seeking "just compensation" for a vehicle that the government impounded by placing a red light?
The exclusive right to prepare derivative works and the exclusive right to distribute are listed as distinct exclusive rights under 17 USC 106.
That depends on whether you can add discs to your homeowner's or renter's insurance.

Sucks to be them
What would you recommend instead for those for whom it sucks to be?
If physical inability of a cyclist to give two required signals at once makes a bike defective, then all bikes are defective. Just to make sure, is that what you meant to imply? If not, what did I miss?
You can still format a 64GB and 128GB cards to FAT32 and they will work in devices that don't support exFAT.
These would be SDHC devices, correct? Because if a device says SDXC next to the slot, the exFAT royalty ought to have been paid.
To that end, a number of municipalities have instituted "dead on red" statues
And a number have not. Or should cyclists make a point of moving to one of the states that have?
Or until you take the laptop out [...] Just use Linux.
If you can find a laptop you like that comes with a guarantee of Linux compatibility.
