I really like the solution provided by Remo , that replicates a life event with a floor plan and "tables", so you end you chatting with video with the people on that table only. Then, you can move to another "table" and talk to other people, like in a "normal" conference.

The problem is more: what about American companies programming cars to kill "terrorists" ? Would Iran buy cars programmed in the US ? And Russia ? And China?

Thanks. After spending a few hours navigating the site, I can see that you are right, the Superman cartoons are easily found. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of movies that can be found that way. Here is the list: https://archive.org/search.php...

That's the whole point of public domain. Public domain means that I am the owner of the material (same as you and everybody else), so I can make money of it, you can make money of it, everybody can make money of it.
You don't realize that by blocking me from making money, they block you and all of us.
And by the way, I publish the link to the original material, to make the point that anybody can do it. I do not hide it and I do not pretend that I am the sole owner of the material.
Submission + - How to "prove" a Public Domain license ?
eporue writes: YouTube claims that I haven't been able to prove that I have commercial rights to this video of Superman. They are asking me to submit documentation saying "We need to verify that you are authorized to commercially use all of the visual and audio elements in your video. Please confirm your material is in the public domain." I submitted a link to the wikipedia page of the Superman cartoons from the 40s where it explains that the copyright expired, and to the Archive pagefrom where I got it. And still is not enough to "prove" that I have the commercial rights.
So, how do you "prove" public domain status ?

Yes, they are also making bad phones. The good ones are crazy expensive, and the reasonably priced are simply bad.

Submission + - Microsoft's Surface RT Was Doomed From Day One (slashdot.org)
Nerval's Lobster writes: Last fall, Microsoft launched its Surface RT tablet with high hopes. The sleek touch-screen ran Windows RT, a version of Windows 8 designed for hardware powered by the ARM architecture, which dominates the mobile-device market; it also included a flexible keyboard that doubled as a screen cover. Microsoft executives told any journalist who would listen that Surface RT would position their company as a major player in the tablet arena, ready to battle toe-to-toe with Apple and various Android device manufacturers. Fast-forward to this week, and Microsoft announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30. Amidst metrics such as operating income and diluted earnings per share, one number stood out: a $900 million charge (the equivalent of $0.07 per share) related to what Microsoft called “Surface RT inventory adjustments.” Microsoft had already slashed Surface RT prices by $150, so that nearly-billion-dollar charge wasn't a total surprise — but it did underscore that Surface RT is a bomb. From the outset, Surface RT had an issue with the potential to mightily trip up Microsoft: While Windows RT looks exactly like Windows 8, it can’t run legacy Windows programs built for x86 processors, limiting users to what they can download from the built-in Windows Store app hub. While the Windows Store launched with 10,000 apps, that seemed paltry in comparison to the well-developed Android and iOS ecosystems. There’s likely nothing that Microsoft could have done about this—every platform has to start somewhere, after all—but the relative lack of apps put Surface RT between the proverbial rock and the hard place: it couldn’t rely on Windows’ extensive legacy, and it didn’t have enough content to make it a true contender from the outset against the iPad and Android tablets. Then there was the matter of price. Microsoft could have taken the Amazon route and sold Surface RT at a relative pittance in order to drive adoption—something that made the Kindle Fire a sizable hit. However, that sort of pricing scheme isn’t in Microsoft’s corporate DNA: it only cut Surface RT’s price several months after release, as a defensive maneuver, when it’s likely to do much less good.
Submission + - Megaupload users have to pay for their data (techworld.com.au)
angry tapir writes: "U.S. federal prosecutors are fine with Megaupload users recovering their data — as long as they pay for it. The government's position was explained in a court filing on Friday concerning one of the many interesting side issues that has emerged from the shutdown of Megaupload, formerly one of the most highly trafficked file-sharing sites. Prosecutors were responding to a motion filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in late March on behalf of Kyle Goodwin, an Ohio-based sports reporter who used Megaupload legitimately for storing videos. the government argues that it only copied part of the Megaupload data and the physical servers were never seized. Megaupload's 1,103 servers — which hold upwards of 28 petabytes of data — are still held by Carpathia Hosting. Goodwin's options, prosecutors said, are either pay — or sue — Carpathia, or sue Megaupload."
