The work I know of, I'm not in USA only have an interest in copyright laws in general, is Feist v Rural Telephone (1991) -- which appears to mirror codes for health procedures quite closely; but not exactly. There's old but more r

A code is not an artistic expression and so can't be copyrightable. The layout of a book of codes, for sure, but the information in it... might be protectable with other IPR but not copyright. Does not stop people threatening you thoug

Depends, do you count wave-raking as picking? I bought a cheap lock-picking set, takes me about 5 minutes to get their basic perspex lock open. "Masterlock", wave rake opens it in a few seconds -- even my then 10yo could open it i

You can do 100s of mbps with a flag and a pair of binoculars... Sorry, pet peeve: do you mean MB/s, Mb/s, or something else? Probably not the milli-bits per second (mbps) that you wrote.

Allowing inbound messages is pressure on people to buy service so they can respond. I'd guess it was for evil marketing reasons.

No point, a question. I'd suspect kids would take guns to 'be cool', show friends, make threats without intention to actually use them. Also, intention to harm that wasn't followed through; intention to defend themselves

My first thought on reading the title of the OP was 'I wonder if we've already ruined Mars with unhelpful yeast?'. Surely there's nothing for it to eat there yet though.

Well they are, if they're suggesting that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is anything beyond a catchy saying.

In the UK a non-structural wall is called a partition wall -- they're usually plasterboard (I think that is called sheetrock in USA) over wooden studs whilst ordinarily walls are plaster on brick/stone. I wonder which partitions m

If you have to use `role=status` to make it work with screenreaders, I'm not sure I see the point. Maybe I'm jaded, I was all in on semantic xhtml and microformats before we got HTML5, but this seems like being overly-pedantic for

Saying, and indeed wishing, "who will rid me of this troublesome pr..esident", for example, is not anything like "instigating murder". In most democracies people are allowed to think, and express their thoughts. Making p

Historically, before they banned a lot of subreddits. Arguably, to become more attractive to advertisers. I think that was when Voat was set up, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voat (c.2015). There was a lot of unsavoury

I wonder if it would work a free speech site to allow mods to not include a story in a category/ subreddit, but then just place that story into, say, /r/changemyview/banned. You'd still need sitewide moderation, but

What country are you from? To " wish a politically motivated death" on someone is illegal there? Reddit set itself up as a speakeasy, people speak their minds openly because it appears in some areas to be free of thought policing

That's pretty good. I'd _consider_ flipping it around so the familiar part comes first? Perhaps, something like: «Toybox provides a set of utilities like cp, mv, cat, ..., which are each just links to a single binary (a "mult

I wouldn't ban them from management, just garnish their wages so they can only earn minimum wage (or minimum living wage). Also, no property ownership beyond a single home.

You cut an A4 to get A5, wasting 1mm ...; two sheets of A4 in an A3 ... there's only one pair of dimensions to remember. Write the sizes in binary and bit-shift them?
