How does the law handle traffic signals that change when a tractor-trailer is halfway through?

You have a point, as long as PCs' prices don't rise too much. I still have a few things to say:

Apple could phase out the MacBook Air in favor of some sort of maxiPad or iBook or something running iOS. The rumored TV with a built-in Apple TV might replace the iMac. Eventually, all iOS application developers would have to buy a Mac Pro, just as all developers for video game consoles have to buy a specific device.

The smallest laptops are already starting to disappear; Dell discontinued its 10" model.

It's pedantic because it's unlikely anybody will be working in an empty building with the lights off until 5.15pm, then read on Slashdot ir's a bank holiday and suddenly feel a bit of a fool and realise they can go home instead of waiting 15 more minutes.

As I understand it, countries that have hosted the Olympic Games have to treat the rings and other IOC symbols as hardcoded famous trademarks, with sui generis restrictions that parallel the dilution restrictions on famous trademarks.

After having read your comment, I realized that I can't know for sure what my general case is. It involves speculating at the future of an economy, which can never be 100.0 percent reliable because we never know for sure that there isn't going to be some sort of disaster that ends the developed world as we know it. But what I do know is that locked-down devices rule out certain computer-mediated hobbies. They make it hard for people to transition from the role of a "consumer" to the role of a participant in culture, someone who both "consumes" and creates. And if tablets become so prevalent that it's hard for an individual who wants a laptop to get one, this mobility will become even more difficult.

Go Daddy's entry-level paid plan, about $4.50 per month.

Which hosting company would you recommend for a small site run as a hobby, especially in this IP shortage?

I see the value in HTTPS Everywhere for sites big enough to run on a dedicated server. But TLS as it is implemented today requires a separate IPv4 address per domain, and this won't change until Windows XP and Android 2.x are no longer in use. What's the best practice to secure a smaller site on a budget shared hosting plan, one that shares its IPv4 address with upwards of 1,000 other sites?

But in practice, they aren't. Restrictions on the public tend to have a ratchet effect, becoming tighter over time. When was the standard term of copyright rolled back in the three-century history of copyright?

Nor did George Dantzig at UC Berkeley in 1939. Without him, Good Will Hunting would be a movie about buying a suit at a thrift store.

That would work only if the writer actually owns the copyright in the show's setting. If the publisher owns it, and the publisher wants it canceled, no amount of crowd funding is going to bring it back.
