Computer Science students are constantly getting into trouble for lifting entire blocks of code from the Internet. Good grades plz
After all, they'll just copy code when they get a job, right?

What they do had to teach is how to learn by themselves... that's sadly going lost in nirvana.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that a company's patent claims end after the first sale and customers can refurbish and sell old products without the threat of being sued under patent laws by the product's original manufacturer. You bought it. You own it. What a concept.

Good decision!
I'm suspecting that this will spell the end of the era of £50 printers and £100 cartridge refills, taking us back to saner days when we paid the bulk of the cost of a printer upfront. Presumably then, a good time to go out and buy a "cheap-as-chips" printer before the manufacturers restructure their pricing models ...

More likely is stop making the cheap printers and cartridges to force all users to buy new, higher priced printers and THEN make cheap cartridges.

Yes, fair point!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a slightly different prediction. It will likely stop the cheap printers and force all users to buy new, higher priced printers.
The cartridges on the other hand will likely remain expensive and the manufacturers will make threats about how using generic or refilled ones will void your warranty. Or like HP they will add some sort of verification tech to make it annoying to use anything but their "official" ones.

My prediction is that they'll just ramp up the level of DRM in the cartridge and carry on as before. RSA/etc signing and a mandatory internet connection to verify the cartridge is official and that its ink level hasn't gone up/the total amount printed with the cart isn't wildly beyond what is possible without a refill should largely cover things I'd think.
Enterprise customers will probably be able to get offline printers; but then they're not the target market for freeish hardware and consumable gouging today.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

People with desk jobs can develop debilitating hand and wrist problems that make it difficult to work, and poorly designed software could be to blame. It hurts when I do this

Seriously? It used to be the mouse, keyboard and chair. Now they're coming after us? Figures.

Totally necessary. It's not like multiple wrist exercises exist to help stretch and relieve tension on hand and wrist muscles to help prevent injury

On Sunday, Robert Bigelow — real estate mogul and founder of the space habitat company Bigelow Aerospace — did an interview with 60 Minutes, in which he touted the strengths of the commercial space industry and how private companies would pave the way for people to live in space. He also said aliens have definitely visited Earth. I guess he'd know then, wouldn't he?

Looney CEO states: I spent millions and millions and millions -- I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.
Geez, with that kind of logic who can argue?
