Why is 60fps available only for 720p and up, and not for the 240p of classic game consoles or the 480p of the original Xbox and Wii?

I was referring to things that an end user can do. Most lack the billions of dollars needed to dictate terms to the incumbent movie studios. Most lack even the millions of dollars to start an indie movie studio that can produce a desirable feature-length motion picture to sell on GOG.

Fictionalized docudrama. Change all the names. It works for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the poster child for plots ripped from the headlines.

Unless you speak Arabic, in which case you even have to type in cursive.

If not Comic Sans, then which font to simulate neat manuscript writing would you recommend? Is Comic Neue fine?

There is a standard port. It's called MHL.

If you build a PC, you have the maintenance headache of keeping the PC's operating system and applications up to date. And in case you figure that out, which parts do you use for a $100 SFF PC so that I can recommend them to others?

Because my TV is also my computer monitor, and if my TV supports PDF, I can read comics and stuff while waiting for the computer to apply kernel updates and restart.

I guess the question was intended to read "for whom is a 4K TV worth the price premium over a 1080p TV?"

PVR works so long as what you want to watch is shown on TV. But there are a lot of movies and TV series that aren't shown on TV, DVD, or streaming. How is one supposed to lawfully watch the film Song of the South, the film Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, or the TV series Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea?

"Writeboard" is an interesting eggcorn. I'll have to use it in a story I'm writing where one part of the country speaks a derhotic "Elmer Fudd"-type dialect with labial /r/.

One Cambridge researcher says the optimal copyright term is 14 years, closer to the patent term. Patents last 20 years; why can't copyrights?

You're both right. Most motion pictures are works made for hire. Berne defines "life of the author" as zero years when determining the copyright term for a work made for hire. US law defines it as 25 years after publication or 50 years after creation, whichever is sooner.

Unless the mark is "famous". Then a separate cause of action called "trademark dilution" comes into play.

This is what U.S. trademark case law calls "nominative fair use". But the applicability of this defense varies from country to country. In Germany, for example, I've read that comparative advertising is prohibited. The BBC operates in Great Britain; does it recognize nominative fair use?

The confusion would be between a computer game and an authorized film adaptation of said game.

You don't decide what "is not a working traffic signal". A judge does, based on whatever traffic statutes are in effect for a particular jurisdiction. For example, I've read that in Great Britain, a cyclist or motorist at a stuck signal is expected to make a U-turn and find another route, or call the police and wait for whatever they call police officers there to flag the road user through the intersection. I don't claim to be an expert on traffic signal laws in all fifty U.S. states, but I am not aware of anything prohibiting a U.S. state from adopting a hard-line approach like that of Great Britain. This article lists sixteen states that allow cyclists to proceed with caution against an overly long red light; I presume the others do not. So unless and until there comes to be more agreement among states on the conditions under which a signal is legally "in a state of malfunction", such as inclusion of guidance in a revision to the Uniform Vehicle Code, this will cause cyclists who cross state lines to inadvertently commit crimes.

It appears you're reaching the end of your patience. So I'll try to sum up the rest of my questions in one final question: How would I go about finding costs for a particular good that can provably not be connected to labor?

You might see fighter pilots getting this done in order to avoid blacking out at high g-forces when the blood drains out into the legs. Examples include Sir Douglas Bader, who rejoined the RAF after losing his legs in an accident, and Super NES-era Fox McCloud, who is depicted in an illustration on the cover of Nintendo Power as having metal legs.
