The '1920 law' aka 'Jones Act' is not limited to natural gas. It deals with transport of goods where both the source and destination are American ports.

Someone not familiar with him might see one of stranger posts and wonder why that kind of post is allowed to be on HN.
Can we leave it to the community to upvote his better posts?

How do you avoid the chilling effects of patents existing then without getting into patent pools or cross-licensing arrangements? People will be hesitant to put any time into R&D if they don't have assurances their work won't be quashed by lawyers.

Exercise for the reader, make a quine that still works even if any one character is mutated (by 1 bit or 8?), rather than deleted.

hyborg787 | 12 years ago | on: Facebook wins right to police “face-” trademark prefix
The end of the report says something along the lines that Facebook can expect to win an opposition if the Face* thing can be argued to be related to something Facebook actually does and if there's a significant portion of a survey that associates it with Facebook (30% is not low). So Faceplanting is fine, but Facetalk, Facemail, Facefriends, Facephotos are probably things Facebook can oppose and win if they haven't been trademarked yet.
