The stock was down only very briefly, presumably as other automatic programs (or maybe even the same ones) triggered a BUYBUYBUY! when the stock dove like that. The price was $11.71 at 10:56am, then the stock price bottomed out at $3.72 at 11:00am, then bounced back to $7.28 at 11:04am. Someone paying close attention could have made quite a nice pile.
Aside from the small fact they are build with completely different purposes in mind. It would be like pitching to the army to replace their tanks with machine-gun-equipped motorcycles.
Not so much a wonder if you notice their disproportionately high (relative to the size of the industry) lobbying efforts and "campaign contributions" to various representatives and candidates of both major US political parties.
And it's not as if the companies are the only source of legal music.
No, but they do a pretty good job of ensuring they appear to be the only legal source and make alternatives more difficult, for purposes beyond private listening at least. Take Soundexchange and their compulsory licensing, for example.
This IS NOT anything most average Joe hardware has anything to do with, so I do not know why you are bounding off about Tivos.
Leap seconds are about combining the extreme accuracy of atomic clocks while correcting them to keep them reasonably in-sync (within 0.9 seconds) with the solar time of day due to minor failings in our system of timekeeping, namely that our definition of a day is not exact due to (at our current understanding) practically random variations in the Earth's rotation speed.
AFAICT, you would not need a license for that even. You would only need a license if you wished to present that information in court as an expert witness.
You would not need a PI license to do either of those. You would only need a PI license if you wanted to take that info to court and provide your opinion as an expert, which these people are doing.
AFAICT, "valid" in the sense specified by the law only means "take down notice is filed in the correct manner" not "noticee has the legal right to file this notice as the copyright holder".
Keep in mind that criminal prosecutions have a substantially higher burden of proof ("beyond reasonable doubt" vs. "preponderance of evidence") and various other protections (right to legal representation, 5th amendment, etc.) that you don't get with civil suits.
Where "old enough" is sometime in the 30s. Pretty much anything from even WW2 is still under copyright unless it has been specifically released to the public domain. A good example of why current copyright term lengths are outright insane.
Cheap crap? This is a problem with atomic clocks being too precise for our time system, which assumes every day is 86,400 seconds long, when it's actually a few milliseconds longer or shorter due to irregularities in the earth's rotation, hence why we need to add in leap seconds when we observe that it is getting too far out of sync with solar time.
The problem being, the need for a leap second is not predefinable, unlike a leap day. Leap seconds are needed to compensate for slight (millisecond range) variations in the length of each day, due to the earth's rotation speed not being constant. We currently cannot predict those variations, and as such, the leap seconds are determined based on astronomical observation and applied as needed.
I dunno what laptop you have, but the manufacturer did not include a large enough power brick. Every laptop I have seen or owned will charge even when being run at full tilt.
Better idea is to just use the nightly tester tools. That allows you to override compatibility on a per-extension basis, which is a good idea, as sometimes they really are incompatible and sometimes they're really incompatible. Just ask anyone who tried forcing Google toolbar on 3.0 before Google updated it.
Hmm. I was sure that the earlier wiis didn't support WPA out of the box, but got it in a later update (which you needed a connection to get. C-22), and it was later put on the shipping models. I could be wrong though.

It works fine for the grammar nazis, but the style and formatting nazis might be less than pleased with you.

And do you have a single incident of those penalties ever being applied?
1. Google couldn't file a suit as they aren't the copyright holder of the video.
2. The copyright holder couldn't file a suit either, as perjury is a criminal matter. For that, they'd need to get a prosecutor/DA to go after them.
There is no perjury threat for submitting the original claim.
Yes, there is, though AFAIK, no one has ever been prosecuted for it.
Keep in mind that criminal prosecutions have a substantially higher burden of proof ("beyond reasonable doubt" vs. "preponderance of evidence") and various other protections (right to legal representation, 5th amendment, etc.) that you don't get with civil suits.
1 word : copyrights. Pretty much anything since the 30s is still under copyright in the US (and much of the rest of the world).

So you pay between $4 and $8 for your cable monthly?
I was sure that was Comcast with that "you can't sue us" term, though i wouldn't be surprised if AT&T had a similar bit in their contracts,
5 figures for a gig is not obscene?! And it wasn't a cell phone. It was an airport wireless broadband card.

Where do you get that? Unless you're referring to OTA HDTV, standard broadcast is the same 720x480 NTSC resolution as a DVD.
