I also feel like protecting Disney is a net benefit, because they can chose what goes into public domain, based on cost. Whereas that orphaned work you have never heard of could find a new audience. I've considered artists lifetime or

Snow White entering the public domain is not a particular benefit to society. A book which is long out of print, with ambiguous copyright status is.

Copyright shouldn't be abolished, it should be reformed however. It should be 20 years, with right to renew, your first 10 year renewal is free, then the cost skyrockets, with proof required that you are still using the work in commerc

I call this process ‘threading the needle’ - some novels thread with ease, some do not thread with ease but the payoff is worth it in the end, some thread and then unthread, some never thread at all.

As someone who has to respond for this kind of stuff at work, I am regularly in a situation where I am pushing back on a CVE, or telling them that our product neither uses nor installs that package (or its for a different OS entirely). Our

I dont think he's wrong. Dell is making moves to introduce server grade hardware without ECC memory. There is plenty of DDR5, its not even very expensive, its DDR5-ECC where the prices go stratospheric.

There is another thing that has kept me from moving on - when I moved I often found the grass wasn't greener, it was just a different texture.

Just gotta stay ahead of the heat curve! Also well seasoned cast iron is dishwasher safe, there is very little you can do to kill a cast iron pan.

I've always called this radio or dispatcher ear. You see it in industry that uses radio too.

We would all have been better off if Boeing had replaced the 737 with the 757 as intended. Its quieter, more comfortable, and a better aircraft all around.

Another thing I'd point out is how often planes regularly fell out of the sky as recently as 40 years ago - my first flight 32 years ago or so, they still had kiosks in the airport to sell you life insurance. Even with the MAX and the

Yes, and you can buy a new e-reader and read all those same books. A kindle is more like a bookshelf from IKEA, it has a finite lifetime.

I dont think they read any of the parallel posts. For (others) reference the oldest bits of code in our software are from the mid-late 90’s and the oldest systems still paying for support rely on parts to build that is not available at any

It is, but I cant build them spares (not even thru broker bought parts) anymore. At some point you have to force the customer to say goodbye.

You try building software with a version of Delphi that wont run on something newer than windows 7 and tell me how well that works out for you. Some of those customers cannot be upgraded without hardware replacement, we can sell them a bran

They changed how they make chewing tobacco (aka moist snuff) about 20 years ago and it has less of the cancer causing stuff (Nitrosamines) in it, its now closer chemically to snus - I’ll point out that Scandinavian countries have some of th

Really inhaling something burning is bad. Pretty much every other form of tobacco that is not cigarettes is less bad.

How long should a hardware and software product be expected to last? Try estimating doing win11 updates on a 20 year old piece of delphi spftware with hardware full go custom ASICs be expected to lsat?

I'm supporting a 30 year old product, the oldest one in the field are 20+ years old, we still support them. I'm just in the process of developing a lifecycle policy, being able to cut off support for a 12 year systems would make m

The actual site of the tank is 33.78356416377991, -117.99993897629278 [1] - its in an industrial park, and its not a large scale chemical manufacturing facility. Its 'light manufacturing' for a company that makes custom formed acr

I could also just go buy VueScan, which is cross platform and great.

They could also just not care too much about compiler optimizations etc.
