Homework homework and more homework. It just never ends.
And it seems like the less often I update, the more hits I get. It's probably
just people refreshing to see if I've updated yet, but it's a bit weird.
If you're ever talking to someone online, and just can't seem to figure out what
a :) really looks like in real life, here is your guide to smiley's. This is
also an example of why you don't let computer science students on their own.
Then things like that happen. I'm good though, I'm computer engineering. We're
normal(ish).
A public-domain bookmobile will be traveling across the
US from California to Washington DC to bring awareness to a Supreme Court
case on copyright laws. The case is Eldred v. Ashcroft and it's a challenge to a
law that extended copyright to the life of the auther plus another 70 years. Can
anyone tell me why a dead person needs to have his work still under copyright?
How does this help innovation? The main reason these laws get placed in the
first place is because Disney doesn't want to lose Mickey to the public domain,
so every few years it'll donate several million to various polititians and get
another extension passed. And Congress says they can't be bought.....
yeah.....
Silly putty rocks.
