Just because you publish and given away a copy of a work does not mean you have released any claim to copyright on it. This is not trademark law where protect it or lose it applies.

I thought the 40 char width was a nice touch. Keepin it old school.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

that should read "you don't need reams of evidence"

Money is not more important to the biology of life.

So how do I get myself taken off these lists?

No matter how much you train with it it won't improve your hearing. But it might make you a more interesting person.

Actually to wrench this back on-topic, it might be a really good synthetic test input for your non-medial hearing helper android app, since it can save to .wav files.

Even better, this is far enough out there that it could help make your non-medical home hearing test app (I'd pay $0.99 for that) less of a target for selling a medical device without a license lobbying^W lawsuits.

> There are editors somewhere aren't there?

No, generally not. This is a semi-automated crowd sourced news aggregation site not a tech news magazine. Spend some time at firehose.pl to understand how it works and how stories get voted onto the front page, typically more verbatim* than not.

that is only true for fresh water.

the /. editor is not doing his job, which makes the site a worse place to visit.
