And that is the point of the article, devices that are created to be small enough to fit inside a pocket or purse are already more powerful than devices that in the past were called 'super', which occupied a lot of space before.
That's what my wife says (well, I just inferred the "super" part).
The best example of this was in Red Dwarf: Return to Earth. They zoomed in on a business card, then zoomed back out. Found a reflection behind the people in the picture, enhanced the reflection, then found a water droplet on a telephone pole, enhanced the reflection from that, and THEN they used a window seen in the reflection on the water droplet to see the back of the card. Then, they flipped the image...all so they could read the address on the back of the card.
I bet the little guys can't each much more than their own body weight in oil per day. Have you seen how big the oil slick is? who the heck has that much oil-eating bacteria ready to go?
The money quote is: That may all change soon, as Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded scientists at the University of Florida have developed a cheap way to turn any infrared light into visible light with a thin film.
Does the "derivative work" function as a substitute for the original work? If it serves a different function, it should be considered fair use.
"Well, the original was a song, meant to entertain and sell records. My rip-off is meant to get people to purchase my t-shirts and coffee mugs, so it's a different function. Fair use!"
If you can demonstrate that playing your "rip-off" functions more effectively to get people to purchase your t-shirts and coffee mugs than the original, whereas one would choose to play the original to entertain and sell records, then, by all means it is fair use.
Great! So now my movie entitled Star Wars: The Musical can proceed as planned; it serves a different function, so it obviously should be considered fair use!
Absolutely! Imagine two theaters side-by-side, one showing Star Wars, the movie, and the other showing "Star Wars:The Musical". Do you really think both would attract the same demographic?
I was wondering if you had some interesting experiences to share, or were expressing an ideological conviction based on thought experiments. So far it sounds more like the latter.
Sorry to disappoint. In any case, I'm sure YouTube has some Oprah reruns that might interest you. In any case, economics as a science is rather more a prioristic than empirical. "Thought experiment" is an oxymoron, unless you mean doing drugs, not that there's anything wrong with that.
If nothing else, jobless benefits have a limited duration, so I would like to hear more about how you are establishing cause & effect here.
Just basic economics. The lower the price, the higher the demand ceteris paribus. Subsidizing anything, unemployment, unhealthiness, getting rid of clunkers, marriage, single parenthood, carbon credits, home ownership (subprime mortgages), war, etc. will increase whatever it is.

Almost no one watches real athletes like mountain climbers, weight lifters, soldiers qualifications courses, or deep sea divers.
Well, no true Scotsman does.

As far as I'm concerned, coffee falls under the same rule as beer and buttermilk: anything that smells that foul is NOT going in my mouth.
More durian for me. On a side note, I've overheard women's conversations and they say "Lock that tongue down!" quite often. I wonder what that means.
In this count, they didn't count bacteria, and the removes most of the 'fuzzy' area.
Yeah, but I bet they counted spherical cows.
Yes, "forensic" means "belonging to, used in, or suitable to courts of judicature or to public discussion and debate".
I'd be interested to see how the modeling matches up with the actual outcome.
Anyone? Bueller... Bueller?
The time it takes for the mother to chew it off.

I know, it sounds like a pretty colleague who just won't let you work but there really is such a doctrine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractive_nuisance_doctrine
Guess which one they didn't pick.

It was fsking epic.

I hear they're developing a pornography filming program - it's only a minor, though. No majors.

Call the legal department STAT! Either that, or Polanski.
Right. Vegan diets are extremely unhealthy for pregnant women and young children, even leading to miscarriage, disfigurement or death.
Oh yeah? So how do you explain Vega becoming an important business centre, exporting Vegan tobacco, to boot?

Talk about misnomer. This thing goes away from the Sun, not nearer it. Or maybe they meant post-wax-melt Icarus.
