We will lobby Congress to keep this law in the penalty box for 90 days (one senator on a filibuster) once it is revealed so that the layperson can review it.

I quit using pencil when I had a calculus instructor that sped through examples faster than any pencil (mechanical, #6, other) could keep up with. I switched to pen as it was the only writing implement that could keep up without fail.

Errors were corrected in-line as a mark-up.

I deliberately posed this as a trick question and you took the bait.

According to the copyright law as written in Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 the Federal Government is prohibited from holding any copyright (with rare exceptions that probably don't apply here.)

Besides, the original song was written during the War of 1812 so the music copyright is out the window, that leaves the performance right.

If I were to stream and copy the American National Anthem as performed by the US Marines from the most recent Presidential Inauguration, who am I stealing from?

Who owns the copyright and who will make the claim that I have "stolen" (infringed on their copyright?)
What is the criteria of disallowing fair-use for such an official and publicly performed work?

Zero Tolerance = Zero Sensibility = Zero Critical Thinking

Nah, he was short by the length of the bus shelter (about 3-4 meters), close enough to unload his passengers but unwilling to take new passengers.

Where I am from, if the bus driver stops short of the bus stop the indication is as follows:

• End of the line
• I am on break
• Don't bother me (until I come back to move the bus, then you can board.)

One hand taketh, another hand giveth.

It appears that BART has said to the scrapers; "Here is the data you need in raw form along with some suggested tools you can integrate our schedules into your applications."
On the whole, it looks like BART has embraced these applications rather than raise a stink on them.

You are probably looking for the electromechanical tele-printers ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleprinter#Teletype for one example. )

These devices used a keyboard (if present) for input and the output was mechanically printed onto roll-fed paper. Usually they were used on-line to either a computer (or computerized piece of manufacturing equipment) or in "local mode".

When in "local mode" these machines would often include a (paper) tape reader and tape punch. Often the resultant punch tape was hand carried and fed into another piece of computerized hardware.

Perhaps this university should offer some pro-bono legal representation to gonorthwest.com

I Can just see how absurd the argument when the tile page of the lawsuits read:
 

Northwest Airlines: Plantiff
Dorsey & Whitney LLP: Attorney for Plaintiff

gonorthwest.com: Defendant
Northwestern University - School of Law: Attorney for Defendant
Black, Lowe, and Graham: Attorney for Defendant

I like your thinking, but I prefer the L21-30 to insure that the wiring from breaker box to outlet is of sufficiently large capacity. The device (or PDU) is free to establish its own current limits.
 
For the breakout PDUs, having this excess headroom is handy for when the power factor of the devices is not unity (covering startup surge of devices.)
