This is why I think there should be an escalating copyright registration fee: First year is a dollar, and each subsequent year it doubles. After 10 years, it'll cost $1024 for a year's worth of copyright protection. After 20 years, a year of protection will cost over a million dollars. At some point it's going to cost more to protect than the work will earn through sales. It'll take really deep pockets to maintain a copyright for more than 25 years, and only the deepest and most committed would have the billions of dollars needed to keep a copyright for 30 years.
If I pour loads of MY time and MY effort and MY resources into creating something, then it's MY creation and I want to keep it then I can, because it's MINE.
Fine. Keep it if you want to. But if you sell a copy to me, why should I not be able to sell that copy to someone else, and make a profit doing so? If I can take a copy, and port it over to another game system, why should I not be able to sell copies of that? I've added value, I've added MY time, My effort, and My resources.
When I see the sentence:Last week a Dutch court decided that the blockade of the Pirate Bay website was ineffective and disproportionate., I expect the hyperlink to link to a report from the Dutch court, or to link to the actual study. Instead, I get a link to Slashdot. Um... Hello? I'm already reading Slashdot and you're linking to Slashdot? What kind of a bonehead play is that?
PLEASE DON'T LINK TO SLASHDOT...
... unless you're making it specific, like "Slashdot reported last week that...". Context is key, people! Either link to the relevant information, or don't bother.

You're about ten years too late. People have been building automatic sentry paintball guns for a long time. For example, here's some footage from 2006.
Timex "ironman" watches. all have a transparent solar cell in the display. There are about 600,000,000 pieces of prior art floating around the united states on people wrists and in landfills.
Strange that I've had an Ironman watches on my wrist for decades, and not known they were solar. I searched the Timex website, and they don't mention anything about solar power, even in the PDF manuals. You're not confusing solar powered and Indiglo technology are you?
The text does get wrapped - inside the text box. It works the same way in MSWord. Try it. Open up MSWord, insert a text box with some text, drag it halfway off the page, and print. The text gets chopped, this time with no option to shrink to fit and no continued on the next page.
As you say: OneNote isn't a spreadsheet. But then again, neither is it a word processor. I guess one could call it an object processor, where the objects are text boxes, tables, images and clipart, audio and video files, html tags, etc.
So in a text box that is deliberately forced off the edge of the page, you're complaining that the text goes off the page? Not to worry, the remainder of the text is picked up on the second and subsequent pages, just like when you are printing a spreadsheet that is too large for one page.
Watts are useless here. What you want to know are joules and time. You don't run the device directly off of the solar cell. You accumulate the power in a battery or capacitor or something. Then it will be there when you are ready to use it. Using your figures, a solar phone would have an energy excess of 0.39W or 0.39 Joules/second for every second of idle time. Over an eight hour time period, you will have accumulated 10,000 joules of energy (rounding down to simulate battery inefficiencies). That's enough for 5000 seconds, or 83 minutes of talk time at a draw of 2W.
Ah yes! The race for the the Clavet Cup, named after Archie Clavet, the greatest curler ever to come out of Dog River. Some people say Archie Clavet could slide a cup of coffee down the length of the ice, draw it dead to the button without spilling a drop.
Freehand and SmartSketch, and even LaTeX seem to all single purpose dedicated tools meant for producing output. OneNote is more of a swiss army knife/multitool for personal notetaking (classroom/lecture, collecting information, research). In other words, input. You can hyperlink between pages, tag pages for future lookup, insert files, video, audio, hyperlinks, emails, time/date logging, as well as a plethora of other things, including handwriting and OCR. Everything in one program, rather than half a dozen different programs.
A few quick things:
1 - You can place text (or images, or whatever) anyplace on the page without having to do any special formatting or margin setting to do so.
2 - You don't have to save your notes. That is done automatically.
3 - Tables are easy.
4 - You can mix text and graphics on the fly, Copy/paste a photo, and add your own circles and arrows with a paragraph to explain what it is.
Yes, I guess I did kind of shoot myself in the foot on that one. The sofware was included when I bought my laptop. I started using it, and got hooked. Now all my notes are in a piece of software with no export capability.
OneNote seems to me to be one of the strangest pieces of software I've seen since MS-DOS used backslashes for directory separators.
Evidence: in OneNote, if a line width won't fit on the printed page, does it wrap like every other piece of software in the known universe? No! OneNote reduces the font size, until it's unreadable even by people who don't need reading glasses. Whose idea was that?
I think it was your idea. I've never seen OneNote do that. The only software I'm aware of that does that is Microsoft Publisher, when you type into a fixed sized text box.
The only similarity between this treatment and Homeopathy is the tiny dosage, though by Homeopathic standards 1/70th of a peanut is an off the charts dosage.
For 1000 hours, the MTBF is in deed 1,000,000 years. In your case, the MTBF for 2000 hours is 2000 hours.
So then MTBF is an incorrectly named figure. MTBF should be [total time until all units fail]/[Number of units]. What the other formula gives is time before PREMATURE failure.
They tried 3D printing a lawyer from a combination of cockroach, dung beetle, and rat cells. The resultant being immediately filed a cease and desist order. The researchers were unable to determine if this was a success, or whether the creature had the good of the world in mind.

Evernote requires an account. I will *NOT* put my data in the cloud.

Prior art on commercially available solar embedded displays goes back to the 70's...
Really?? Do you have a link to some of that prior art?

No. What The Man needs is for The People to give a sharp yank on his collar and command him to heel.
Spelt is a grain. Spelled is a past tense word.

Musk isn't taking rich people out of the atmosphere. That's Branson. Musk is taking astronauts to the ISS, and then to Mars.

What about OneNote? Anything about a Libre OneNote? It's the only thing keeping me on Windows.
From my understanding, the only way to have a magnetic monopole is to have an electric field that is at right angles to reality.
That makes no sense. Suppose they continue the test and all of the units fail by 2000 hours. The real MTBF would be a lot closer to 1500 hrs.
