  1. AWOL is a bad term to apply here, I expect. That implies a dereliction of duty. A hiatus of a volunteer is quite a different matter.

  2. There's a bunch of other things that section 1201 shouldn't be restricting, such as accessibility and format shifting. It's a nasty section. Another part in need of fixing is that vexatious DMCA takedowns have no penalty (currently, the only demand is they represent a copyright holder - not that that copyright has any relevance to the case). "Smart" TVs, in particular, should be fixed to stop forcing ads and surveillance. And as usual, quite a good point that these restrictions aren't doing what they're claimed to be for - they make it illegal to remove anti-usability sabotage from products, a service that will already be done for you at those piracy sites they're holding up as so evil. The legitimate customers bear both the costs for the sabotage (big money for e.g. DeNuvo and Adobe) and the pains of the hostility (because clearly nothing makes you less trustworthy than buying from a legitimate vendor). Most of the time the publishers are too craven to even speak plainly when asked if they do such sabotage, let alone *why*.

  4. I think I first encountered the second of them, by deriving it at a math test in school. The task was simply to prove Pythagoras' theorem.

  5. And you don't need to draw a line all the way left on the first line, the first word or a parenthesis will do. itertools provides a multitude of ways to make infinite loops in an expression, e.g. dropwhile of cycle. For extra horror, make it a set to start the whole thing with a {.
