The EU banned three neonicotinoids that are judged especially high risk for bees 17 months ago. If this is causing/contributing to colony collapse disorder, evidence should start settling this question over the next year or two I would think.
... now all it needs is a light side and a dark side.
Exactly.
It's like they think people smart enough to work at google are dumb enough to believe that line.
Sometimes common sense is just wrong, particularly when it comes to predicting the behavior of other people who might not agree with what you consider "common sense". If you check his publications in Google Scholar, this guy's been publishing surgical neuroscience papers in real journals since around 1990. I think he really intends to try this.
I don't think you appreciate the magnitudes involved. Picture the biggest forest fire you've ever heard of. Here's a dime store squirt gun and a canteen. Go put it out. Good luck, we're all pulling for you.
Now realize that it's nowhere near that easy.
A better approach is to make the copyright holder a legal steward of the work until it enters the public domain. That is, they have a legal duty to maintain it in the best possible form and make sure it gets handed off to interested parties when it enters the public domain. Failure to do so is a breech of the contract resulting in handing all profits from the work during copyright to the public (that is, a massive fine).
If the cost of maintaining the work exceeds the value, they may choose to terminate the copyright early, but must give sufficient public notice.
Actually better than normal. a slackware install is at least two orders of magnitude faster than Ubuntu.
I've moved back to slackware for ham radio use, I got tired of fighting with the 6 different audio systems, 40 different places to put config files, etc...
OSS and
Or an even more novel concept, use a Distro that doesnt shovel all that crap into it. If you really like Ubuntu, go to Debian. All the goodness and none of the ads or phone home junk.
Will systemd increase or reduce performance? I cant get any straight answers out of the gigantic whinefest that is the systemd controversy.
science!
you can't explain it
It's all static electricity. nothing more.
how it builds as pockets, that is the part they are trying to figure out.
Any time period less than infinity is limited.
And that is exactly the reasoning that the Supreme Court has used to uphold the legality of the copyright extensions. Since there is some limit, even though it isn't fixed, and keeps getting extended for the very same work, now long past the life of the creator, it is still "limited". If Congress passed an extension to a thousand years, it would still be limited.
Is there any work that is over 50 years old that still brings in big money? The proper solution is to charge an annual fee per work for continued protection of, say $1000/year after 50 years. I'll bet they won't want to pay that.
It is amazing how you have totally bought into the corporations most ardent desire: continual "ownership" of other people's work as if it was some inalienable right.
Copyright was invented as a limited term privilege to encourage artistic creation as a social good.
The proper solution is to revert to the original 28 year maximum duration and place all artistic works in the public domain after that time.
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
