The amount of footage isn't really relevant here. It's patently ridiculous to argue that a video recording of someone playing a game is anything remotely close to the experience of playing that game (i.e. the LP videos are not the game itself). A video recording of a movie is that movie, but a video recording of a game is not the game. Therefore it's not at all clear that a LP video would not be fair use, since the presentation is highly transformative (since the experience of playing the game and watching someone else play it are completely 100% different). To quote Judge Pierre N. Leval (as used by the SCOTUS in their explanation of fair use):

I would say that LP videos fit that understanding exactly. Standard disclaimer: IANAL.

Oh, and this is incredibly and unarguably a stupid decision on Nintendo's part. That much is certain.

The radio alone probably generates insignificant heat. Easy enough to test, of course (all you need is a thermometer).

The problem with that logic is that with sufficient effort you could show that any problem can be reduced to math. The question is not can something be reduced to math, but is it math itself. For example: geometry is a mathematical field, but not everything created using geometry is math. Another example: every video on Youtube. Every one of them is reduced to mathematics before being displayed (and quite often when it is made), but arguing that the video itself is math or a mathematical algorithm is patently ridiculous.

Oh, and also the burden of proof isn't on him to prove the statement isn't math, it's on people who claim it is math to prove it is.

So did car phones.

Hands free operation, inline with your regular vision.

It's a wearable always-on computing device with augmented reality capabilities. No, it isn't quite that yet, but the first cell phone was a heavy brick that ran out of battery in few hours. Early technology is (almost) always of questionable and limited usefulness.

No, 2,4,5-T is no longer widely used as a herbicide. 2,4-D is, but that isn't "Agent Orange", which specifically is the 50:50 mix of those two compounds. In fact, 2,4,5-T has been banned for use in the US for several decades now, and the toxic dioxin compounds in it are a side-effect of the manufacturing process. Even a highly rigorous manufacturing system will still produce them, albeit in a low concentration.

Besides, the fact that the large concentrations of dioxin in Agent Orange were a "mistake" does absolutely nothing to increase my confidence in Monsanto's ability to safely produce herbicides.

Quite right, Monsanto doesn't make drugs. They make chemicals like DDT, PCBs, and Agent Orange. Much much better than those nasty drug companies.

OK, to be fair, they don't make Agent Orange any more, and they swear (absolutely swear) that they've changed. Their current products are all 100% totally safe. I mean, they wouldn't sell them if they weren't, right? Right.

The beans he bought from the grain elevator were intended to be used as feedstock, not seedstock. The grain elevator (presumably) had no idea he was going to plant them, and in any case selling patented "technology" isn't illegal (especially given that selling them is the whole point of the elevator in the first place) unless Monsanto had a license deal with them that made them liable should anyone they sell the seeds to use them as seeds.

Really? I've never seen a helicopter that was capable of traveling on a road before. Could just be me, though.

Oh, you mean you automatically expect "flying car" to mean "VTOL capable"? Why? Sci-fi movies? Absolutely nothing in the concept of "flying car" in any way implies that it doesn't need a runway. All it means is that it is a car (i.e. capable of traveling on a public road or highway) that is also capable of some form of flight. This can do both, therefore it is a flying car.

From TFA:

So, assuming they did their research right, nope. The results have little or nothing to do with the socioeconomic status of the parents.

Yes, but they made that *before* being bought out by EA. After being bought out, they made Star Wars The Old Republic (aka WoW, with lightsabers, but somehow still lame).

The same thing that happens when any other small plane collides with buildings or other infrastructure... which is why actually flying something like this will require a pilot's license.

HIPAA only covers a narrow range of institutions and the contractors who work for them (healthcare providers, insurance companies, stuff like that). It doesn't cover just anyone making readings of a heartbeat.

You must be a ton of fun at parties. In this case, the poster is actually making fun of *himself* for not being as smart as the OP (or, possibly, simply for not being educated in the field the OP is talking about), not of the OP for being smarter than him. At worst, it is a comment on how specific and arcane the language of a specific field can become to the outside observer.

They have a lot of directionality. The physics is not completely understood, but gamma ray bursts are focused along a fairly narrow line in two opposite directions.
