A great many old works are orphaned, with difficulty in verifying ownership.

My idea would be that you must register your copyright claim on a special publicly accessible database of copyright works within 20 years of the works creation, giving your identity, clearly identifying the work, and giving clear reasons why you believe the work is your property.

Failure to do this results in the work becoming public domain. Knowingly making a fast claim should be an offence.

Oh, and lets have 50 year max for copyright, more than this makes it harder/impossible for descendants to use/publish thier parents work, not easier.
(Based on my own experience, my dad was a jazz musician..)

Fabrice Bellards Tiny C Compiler is a brilliant piece of work, a very fast, light, full featured C99 compiler for x86-32/64 or Arm in about 400k or so. I still use it from time to time.

The "Windows Subsystem for Linux" I use is called Wine..

Build more HVDC lines to transport surplus power to states further away, ensure the network is available at fair costs, etc. The buyers are out there, you just need to build the network.

Could these gophers be employed to help fix the political system in Washington too?

Put a block on MS ip address range for the network so updates are blicked, lift it every 2 weeks to allow updates, keep a test machine running that looks for these problems before allowing the updates?

Sadly, this sounds like greenwashing. There are 3 trillion trees on earth, so to get anywhere near equalling that CO2 absorbsion capacity needs nearly a trillion kg of this stuff. Despite being talked about for decades, carbon capture has captured near zero CO2. Just build new wind, solar, tidal, stop burning fossil fuels and stop wasting money on this sort of thing.

So I drive to a remote beauty spot, turn off the car and enjoy the view. Then i try to restart my engine, and no connection.. wtf?

KFC have started opening new concessions under power lines.

No, it are be will have has been the brightest object.. (According to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy the hardest thing about time travel is the grammar.)

The argument is already won, electric is better. Most hydrogen is made by splitting methane anyway, green hydrogen via electrolysis is low efficiency at this time, compared to just using that electricity to charge a battery..

I remember it it being launched. The tape loop drives killed it, it should have included a floppy interface/os with option for drive, and cassette loading to keep entry cost low..

Your majesty doesn't understand, these latest finewoven cases are made of the most exquisite materials that only the most refined and wise people can see, they are invisible to common men and fools..

Sir, would you like fries with that?

Is that everyone needs to do "the right thing". Buying your way out with offsets so you can continue polluting doesn't work, you need to stop polluting AND help plant trees, etc..
You need to do it all ..
