Therefore, according to your own criteria, anything that people get paid to do "all day long", which doesn't require a "mathematical formula" is creative.
The emphasis is where you failed at comprehension. He didn't say that it "doesn't require" a mathematical formula. He said that there is no mathematical formula.
Being that there is (1) no automated process and (2) no mathematical formula, creativity must be involved somewhere.
Secondly, I assume you live in the USA, as you have no concept of the vast differences between US and Australian copyright law. Here in Australia, a programming schedule is a copyrightable work.
The only problem is that there is no program that can currently do that well enough that you can rely on it to do a good job because it's actually really complicated since you have to not only take into account what is being shown on your channel, but what is being shown on other channels (as well as what's going on elsewhere to some extent) and the demographics of your shows, and whatever is competing for those demographics time and attention.
Confusing England with the UK is like confusing California with the USA.
Are you saying that California has become a sovereign nation, or that England has become a state of the UK, and the UK has become a country.
A closer analogy is confusing England with the UK is like confusing Mexico with Northern America (the continent). The issue with that is that is that Northern America isn't a united kingdom.
The correct analogy is: confusing England with the UK is like confusing 'chassis' with 'car'.
DNF Took so long to develop that the studio actually managed to create time travel first. Then they went 128,299,838,271 years into the future, and picked up a copy as it was released. Then they sent it back to 2002. Now they are just waiting for hardware that can run it...
Funny as that is, when we are talking about extraordinary rendition, there is no "not guilty". The only two categories for tortured people is "confessed" and "not yet confessed".
To an extent, I'd have to agree. It's not like piracy didn't exist before the RIAA came into being. If they actually fixed the issues (such as claiming that fair use is piracy, charging $30 for an album and giving the artist $0.50, adding DRM, rootkits and copy protection), they'd be far more likely to curb piracy as it exists now.
Let's use Australian numbers (because I know them):
Available voltage from a standard wall outlet: 240v
Available amps: 10
Using Ohms law (and assuming resistance will remain roughly the same), I should be able to get nearly 100A @ 24v using a step-down transformer. Most laptops have an input of around 19v. As long as the leads can handle the amperage, it shouldn't be an issue.
It's the leads that will be an issue. IIRC, cars need 50-80A @ 12v to start. The leads that come off the battery for the starter motor are pretty big, and they only need to handle that current draw for up to 10 seconds...

Yes - (1) It has longer legs.
This is called a slashvertisment, and is not uncommon in these parts.
To paraphrase: You must be new here...

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!
If you'd ever watched Channel 9, you'd know that the schedule is far from fact.
The Channel 9 schedule has about the same mix of fact and creativity that weather forecasting does...
Are you kidding? I'd rather write in Brainfsck. Seriously, my boss makes me write in VBScript because it's the only language he's had experience with.
I'm currently trying to find someone in Gitmo who is willing to trade places with me, but so far, they'd all rather stay in there than use VBScript...
It's supposed to be a kind of scream. Like when someone buys one, you go "You bought a WHAT?!?!" and then scream...
Or they could use the name to reflect the inevitable quality of the release and call it Windows Beta Seven...

AHA! Now we know what happened!

Analogy? That's not an analogy! Where's the car?

What makes you think the final result will be any better than what you have now?
This suggestion is insanity!
This. Is. SLASHDOT!
So not too far from the truth then?

Any idea how much a 50A step-down transformer weighs?
We are talking, at 2 AWG, just over 1/4" (6.5mm)* conductor diameter. Per wire. Not the lightest, most flexible, or most convenient size around...
* American Wire Gauge Tables
And you won't need one.

That version of the acronym has been floating around since Windows 95.
Now, get off my lawn!
I think its actually been floating around for years. It's not the first time I've used it, either.
Do we not want him back? Or are we relying on auto garbage collection?
*cough*
Strangely, typing "trees" instead of "tree's" is both easier, and correct, and you haven't done it. I'd say our Canadian friends are on to something.
If apostrophes meant "ZOMGHereComesAnS", we would type "treeZOMGHereComesAnSs", but they don't, so we don't.
