Use cash in stores and leave the card at home. The only place you need to take it is the ATM.

Oddly enough the requirements of that website match the equipment available in my local library exactly. I'm not in the UK however.

Why would the museum use an orphan work if plenty of CC0 or public domain alternatives existed?

Seems like it's images only, accoring to the Register? Also a work becoming public domain in the UK doesn't automatically become public domain anywhere else in the world. It would still be eligible for copyright protection in the USA, for example.

For 2 people, I'd guess we have about 15kg of groceries for a week. It's easy to carry 7.5kg in a backpack, or whatever.

20 mins? On the contrary, my partner and I have lived as much as 40 mins walk from the supermarket and still done weekly shopping trips on foot. Since we are nothing special athletically, I'm sure there are others that walk further.

This is years out of date, and applied to certain countries only. It doesn't work anymore.

Technically, it's not legally possible to put things in the public domain at all, as far as I know. You just have to wait for the copyright to expire. The nearest you can get is something like CC0 (which does disclaim warranties).

Utilities in general, public transport including airlines, government at all levels.

Cinedigm is a separate company, listed on Nasdaq. They sold their cinema distribution business to Technicolor and now do some production work for them. However, not being in the movie business, I don't have a great understanding of what this company does exactly.

I'd just live closer to the business. If there aren't any houses there to buy, I'd build one.

I'm curious about what they mean by "power to change the balance of power between individuals and large bureaucracies in much the same way the Internet did in the past".

The Internet improves the ability of the people to speak back and organise themselves. Perhaps personal drones will allow the people to shoot back, with missiles?

Microsoft have been making money from open source for years - by shaking it down for patent royalties. Making money from open source and supporting it are not exactly the same thing in this case.

Just to state the obvious, but not mentioned in the summary, but MPC also required that thou shall run Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions. It's hardly appropriate to have an "industry standard" where a single vendor is given a monopoly over a major part of the system. However a cross-platform games standard would obviously be too hard for the industry as it exists today.

Now we have to put up with "2013 will be the year of Windows on the phone", forever.
