It strikes me that putting a product name inside source code under GPL license -- which explicitly encourages modification and distribution of source code -- should constitute abandonment of U.S. trademark. However, a California District Court ruled against that logic in Neo4j v. PureThink. It seems GPL needs to explicitly address trademarks, such as right to say "fork of X" -- akin to how it had to address the patent issue.

Yeah, exposing a film to DLP is a little different than to a rounded, bezel-masked CRT

The media format is 16mm film. Here's the irony. Unlike U.S. television shows, BBC was an early adopter of video tape. (Recall that video tape was invented really late, available in 1956; everything before then had to be either live or telecined from film live.) But when shipping shows to far-flung international destinations, BBC "transferred" the video tape to film by filming a TV! That's what was found in the collector's cardboard box. That BBC used video tape is what allowed them to erase said video tapes.

Prosecution must have argued she deceived customers into thinking they were getting something they could legitimately used.

18 U.S. Code 2320 defines "counterfeit mark" rather broadly. Included in the definition in (f)(1) is a "spurious ... label ... likely to ... deceive".

Why would a website containing "tech" in its domain name feel a need to put "requirements" inside scare quotes and refer to it as "parlance"?

Based on 5-10 minute videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zZP1uzp_YQ, I look forward to feature-length fan replacements for Episodes VII, VIII, IX. Perhaps within a year?

Grocery stores and Wal-Mart trimmed their hours for COVID and never restored them. We are definitely no longer on the 24-hour society trajectory we were on in decades past.

Guess I am using a different Reddit.

Reddit is not social media; it's a message board. Nothing so similar to 1980s UseNet can be considered social media, which debuted in the mid-2000s with MySpace (though the term "social media" wasn't even coined until the launch of the second such example, which was Facebook).

The difference between Reddit and social media? The latter puts profile and pictures at the core, whereas they are incidental in the former -- both used only to support the primary purpose which is text-based discussion.

GPT5-Pro ($200/mo) answers with the correct time, even though it takes five minutes to come up with the answer.

I thought that was what WordPad was for. They cannot eliminate the plain text functionality of Notepad without making Shift-Ctrl-V standard across all applications.

Fewer than 100% of customers have a sufficiently charged cell phone

You're right if one values iPads. Others value family formation.

The WSJ (and I) seek middle class prosperity, however that comes.
