They're not connecting it to the Internet, so far as I know. The speculation in the article is that the Russian contractor building the facility brought in infected PCs for the control system. Coincidentally(?), the contractor (AtomStroyExport) had its own website hacked recently.
>He's representing himself. I guess we can't blame a lawyer for this one...
I wonder if he'll bring in his laptop and play lineage at the court house.
This is a potentially brilliant strategy. The worse he does in the courtroom, the better his case is that his "game addiction" is interfering with his life. Win through losing.
Note you are misreading Feist - the "originality" being discussed is in the selection and organization of facts, essentially a work of scholarship. This would not apply to merely typesetting an existing (public domain) text.
Again, "typographical arrangement" is an explicit concept in UK and Commonwealth law, typically with a relatively short term (e.g., 25 years). So far as I know, there is no such thing in U.S. law.
This is mostly false, at least in the U.S. While the U.K. and other Commonwealth countries have the concept of copyright for "typographical arrangement," the U.S. does not. It also does not have copyright in the printed appearance of a font (as opposed to, say, the TrueType encoding of a font, which is copyrightable). So, out of your list, only the graphics (assuming they are original) would be clearly subject to copyright in the U.S.
Yeah, it's called the Constitution of Athens. In Athens, many of the offices were chosen by lot, all the way up to the epitastes, who headed both the council and assembly - but could only serve one day in his entire life. So a good fraction of the Athenian electorate (maybe as much as one third) would at some point in their lives effectively be Speaker of the House.
We prefer the term flatulist. But alas, with the passing of Joseph Pujol's gas-passing, the golden age of flatulence is gone. YouTube fart lighters are at best a distant bronze. The more distant the better.

Hey, Steve Ballmer will give you a chair for nothing. No lawsuit required. In fact, he'll even hand-deliver it.

I'd be more worried about the cheap knockoff version from Chery - bursts into flames if you happen to bump into someone.
It didn't help that the URL for their website ends in /b/.
The guy is from New South Wales, and was trawling the Internet, looking for NSW-related information. Somehow, an 'F' slipped into his search string.
Yes, Dave.
Well, the Illuminati might be. Sadder but wiser.
Well, yeah, considering you're stuck in that traffic jam.

Looks like Cookie Monster ate the end of your sig off.
2 hours away? Don't feel bad. That's still a lot closer to Fucking than most people on Slashdot will ever get.
Yeah, we know. You were "busy."

That beard is cool. Do not question the beard.
Wait, we're talking about RMS, aren't we?
No, it's one that you can use to calculate your income/profits, and it won't report them to the IRS. Really a good idea.
Actually, the government did try to respond, but unfortunately Green Dam blocked it. Some sort of obscenity issue, apparently.

That was actually two words ... Oh no, now we owe you overtime. Sneaky.

We're aware of that, Senator.
Hey, wait a second ....
Sandra Bullock should have learned from that one to stay away from guys who do vehicle mods.
