I think UCLA has a very strong case for fair use. School libraries have pretty much always had a fair use exemption.
This is just an extortion attempt by yet another "Rights protection" racket... They will be the only beneficiary of any precedent setting settlement. Ultimately, if UCLA caves to this craven attempt to grab more money, this will set precedent for schools and universities across the nation to raise tuition and add yet another "media" fee to a death spiral of the cost of higher education.
Hydrogen cannot be tranported through regular plumbing. As others mentioned, water leaks in current plumbing systems are tolerable, but in a hydrogen system are incredibly dangerous. Unlike most gases, hydrogen is explosive in through a very wide range of mixtures with air. So even a tiny leak presents an enormous explosive risk. Compared to natural gas, which is explosive at high concentrations, and becomes less explosive (almost negligble) at lower concentrations, while hydrogen remains explosive at very low concentrations (remember lighting the test tubes in high school chemistry - that was a very low concentration).
Additionally, steel and other alloys of steel become brittle and are more likely to fracture upon exposure to hydrogen. To prevent this, vessels to contain hydrogen must be sealed/coated to prevent exposure. While not expensive to do, it is expensive when replacement of existing infrastructure is considered.
Why spend your time here listening to us dullards then? Why not spend your precious time inventing things, and protecting the rest of the world from the "dullards" here on Techdirt...
I'm so angry I've lost my ability to speak. This is my fourth attempt at trying to rebut your nonesense.
The sheeple will accept and embrace the principles of ACTA precisely because they won't know what is being negotiated on their behalf. They don't care because they don't know. If they knew - THEN WE WOULD CARE. This is an amazingly one-sided, intentionally vague, gross distortion of the trade process. Consistent "There's nothing to see here, move along" comments from corporate interests only indicates the magnitude of the shady back-room deals taking place here. I DO NOT embrace ACTA, I will never embrace the steady destruction of my individual rights upon the corporate altar of profits. EVERYTHING about this trade agreement is in contravention of the democratic principles of all the potential signatories. The ONLY purpose of this agreement is to further shove ever more draconian IP protection laws down our throats - that benefit only those with the money, not the rest of us. Two months ago - I didn't know a damn thing about ACTA, USTR or US Trade Policy in general, but know that I'm educating myself, I'm becoming increasingly infuriated at the naked power grab taking place before my very eyes. I have joined the vocal "minority" because I am becoming educated. People with "widely held, common principle " would immediately realize this isn't right, nor is it fair.

How long before the DMCA/ACTA is subverted to protect this vanishing business model as well???
Contact your friendly lobbyist for instructions!
Kidding aside - I haven't had a landline for almost 5 years and couldn't be happier.
