I think it's kinda morphed into a pinwheel, which still sorta makes sense as pinwheels have been a staple of photo and camera advertising for their bright colours and rapid movement.
GNU isn't punchy though; as soon as any punchy word get's associated with them, people will use that word instead, and we'll just get GNU/Thermite or GNU/Abson or something.
Well if we want to get pedantic, every unique thing passed around and spread is a meme. Jokes, art styles, idioms, words, greetings, most social behavior really. And you can go a step further and say diseases, species, even all of life is a meme.
And if there ever was a place to use this definition of meme it would be... LinguisticMemes, but this is a good second place.
See that's more realistic. Sneaking off to walmart is still a bit of a stretch in sprawl-hell, but I can see how a cheap locally available phone might make it's way into anyone's hands, especially as a hand-me-down.
Piracy has always been a distribution issue. There are definitely greedy lazy people who will always want more for less, but the organized effort required for piracy only happens when fair access is impossible.
Human FoV is about 210° with both eyes. Thus Θ is 105°.
The radius of the sun is 695,508 km.
Thus, d is 695,508/sin(105) → 720,043 km
720,043 - 695,508 = 24535 km away from the surface of the sun.
However, because the FoV is greater than 180°, this is actually below the surface of the sun, and any distance below the surface is enough to fill your vision.
To completely fill your field of view with the Sun, you'll need to take a Parker Bath and dip into the sun.
There's actually a trip to Antarctica to see the midnight sun funded by globe earthers planned soon. Many flat earthers were invited, but most have chickened out and the rest are hedging their positions with "24 hour sun doesn't mean anything, even if we see it, it doesn't matter".
I'd say the specifications of the design should be made public domain after some time (say 5 years for high-tech and 10 otherwise) or if the OEM shuts down the factory.
It's a bit unreasonable to keep parts in stock 50 years after the product was last sold, but if the designs are available any company can start a new run, or even just a guy with a nice shop. The big exception to this is silicon chips, there are only a few companies that can even make integrated circuits, let alone processors. Public access to designs might encourage competition though...
And buying that requires knowledge of amazon, knowledge of what phone is useful, knowledge to avoid a scam or faulty product, an email address, a credit card, and a device to order from.
Children are surprisingly clever and have all the time in the world, but they aren't professional pen-testers and don't have the experience needed to use online services before having access to them.
It's far more likely they get a hand-me-down device from a friend and keep it at school, especially if they know such a thing would be confiscated immediately upon discovery. Preventing this interaction would require control over the child's life nearing Amish levels, or prison levels.
What separates species? Oh boy, do I not have an answer for you! We usually don't have enough fossils to ask that question, and now that we're cataloging so many fossils it's starting to bring up questions like this.
We clearly have two gropus of T.rex skeletons, gracile and robust. Are they different sexes or different species? How about proposed Spinosaurus species, are those just interspecies variation? What about homonin fossils? We can't even agree on the genus, let alone the species.
Well forget fossils, what about living species? Plants have shown an amazing ability to hybridize between very distinct groups, and animals can form ring species where two populations can't interbreed, but can share genes through a string of other populations! How do you classify that‽
Great yt video on the concept of species if you have 15 minutes.
That means we see snakes similarly to the way their predators do.
From a different perspective, the bee mimic orchid only vaguely looks like a bee to us, but it still successfuly tricks bees, so image accuracy isn't the only factor. Both mimics can give us interesting insughts into how other animals see the world.

What software is good for document layout anyway? Something with PDFs?
