It depends on when AMBE was introduced. Patents on math expire on the twentieth anniversary of filing.

20x16.5 cm is still smaller than my Super Nintendo, which is about 20x22 cm. It's not XBOX HUEG or anything.

Is the VideoCore IV only for H.264, or can it also do VP8, H.265, and VP9?

Yeah, I think that was the joke.

Do they even make "a proper e-mail client" for, say, a PlayStation Vita system? Sure, there's the included Email app, but I didn't see anything in its manual about PGP or S/MIME.

Store the private key on the server, but encrypt it using a key derived from a passphrase. Script would then fetch the encrypted private key from the server and decrypt it using the passphrase entered by the user. The NSA would have to crack your passphrase to get your private key, just as it would if it seized your workstation.

Another Slashdot user disagrees that renewing a certificate is "not too hard".

There's the rub. How are you sure that nobody whose key you have signed in the past has since been compromised by the NSA, by Alzheimer's dementia, or by some other affliction that breaks the assumption of "correctly used"?

As are the individual members of the "strong set" in PGP's web of trust, which as I understand it is made of people who can afford to travel to key-signing parties in foreign countries.

I've had two problems with the concept of PGP's web of trust. One is that just because you can vouch for someone's identity doesn't necessarily mean you can vouch for that person's ability to vouch for others' identities. Another is that if you yourself don't travel to foreign key-signing parties, good luck finding multiple independent paths through the trust graph between you and someone with whom you are corresponding. All this trust has to flow through this "strong set".

If the partner uploader or the Content ID claimant has specified "Do not allow this video to be shown without an advertisement" on a particular video, then it is necessary.

That would violate Google's contracts with YouTube partners and Content ID claimants.

Which creates an opportunity for a third-party app store for Android devices that specializes in malware-free porn.

You could prove it by starting your own hosting entity and putting up canary pages about the state's lack of official action thus far. You wouldn't be able to prove that the state has specifically done it to Google, but you could at least prove that the state is doing something.

Is it a mere "editorial choice" when all notable publishers make the same choice and new publishers are kept from the market by entry barriers enforced by the government?

Yes. I have realized that a mod is more reasonable in scope for a community project than a complete game. Would Half-Life have been nearly as popular without Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike? Yes, I'm aware that Counter-Strike was eventually ported, but if Half-Life were a console exclusive, Counter-Strike would never have been created in the first place.

YouTube videos also tend to be a lot shorter than segments of children's broadcast television. Compare the 11-minute segments of an animated TV series for children with the 1- to 4-minute YouTube videos. This makes the requirements described in the "Commercial Time Limitations" section more practical to fulfill for broadcast television than for YouTube. For example, a 15-second commercial might be shown before a 45-second video, which would exceed the FCC's 1 to 4 ratio for weekdays, let alone the 1 to 4.7 ratio for weekends. Would you prefer to have the YouTube Kids app just block viewing of partner or claimed videos when the app has displayed too many partner or claimed videos within a 60-minute period? That'd feel like the forced waiting in Candy Crush Saga.
