Yeah. But the title should read Nokia Developer Takes a Stand Against Apple, since the VLC-dev is Rémi Denis-Courmont, who works for Nokia.

Rémi Denis-Courmont works for Nokia?
Rémi Denis-Courmont works for Nokia!

Now, where is my tin foil hat?

Rémi Denis-Courmonts LinkedIn profile

here's a freebie, although I need to eat: I say offer 3 levels of service; full, consult for pro se, with\without 'forms' - normal full service OR consult for pro se with your assistants completing forms, OR consult only and client gets\fills out forms by self (unbundled services) - after consult counsel fills out check list of topics counseled and client files that with paperwork - more clients due to other types of services offered, more exposure for full services offered, satisfies the court - counsel and client sign waiver for 'counsel only' - no continuing representation without new agreement - this has been on my mind since the 80's see my linkedIn posts: http://www.linkedin.com/in/counseltechnologyinc

This is April Fools' gold:

>Instead of trying to manufacture ethanol from switchgrass, would it be more effective to burn oil and bury the switchgrass? We sometimes pay farmers not to grow crops to sustain prices; should we pay them to grow otherwise useless crops and stockpile them? (...)

LOL In the end I get it. The writer of this Washington Post article is the guy in charge of printing the paper-version of the Washington Post (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/hugh-price/7/2a8/68a). And he is trying to build an argument that producing paper and stockpiling it may be the solution to the environmental problems of our times!

From Steven Rhue's Plaxo profile, he graduated from Wahoo High school in Bumf**K..er Wahoo, NE in 2002, so he is only about 26. His Plaxo profile also has links to both Chet Uber's and Susan Van der Gaast's Plaxo profiles.
His Linkedin profile shows him living in Lincoln, NE, which fits with other things I read. It also shows him owning/related to T.G.B.S Construction, which I haven't found anything on.

Robert Uomini of Kensington CA already won a $22 million dollar lottery in 1995. And yes, it's the same person, because the patent application's name and city matches and this article says he's a mathematician and his linkedin says he has a Ph.D in Mathematics. Here's his real software website, notice anything familiar? Yep, the design is exactly the same, no doubt about it this is our guy.

Here's his facebook if you want to leave him a message

Claiming that Facebook users are not customers obfuscates the report's intent. It distort's the site's business model. It is the kind of cheap rhetorical trick often used by the far right, people like Rush Limbaugh, in a desperate attempt to discredit someone.

I have seen and use far worse sites. MapMyRide for example, although they are about to roll out a new site design. One of my favorite sites is Flickr, but even they have problems. Creating a new set feels like a mystery adventure game.

Users are customers. Facebook cannot afford the staff to provide much hand-holding, just like PayPal in its first few years. That does not mean they are unaware or uncaring. Their revenue stream depends on ad income, and that depends on users.

There used to be (still is?) a camera store in Chicago that had rock bottom prices. Their sales staff would not take the time to explain anything. They were enormously successful. Across the street was another camera store. Their prices were higher. They did very well, because their customers were the ones who could not get the time of day from the other store. Perhaps some of you who frown at Facebook would be better served at anther site, such as http://www.linkedin.com/

Imagine these four people's shock and horror as they poofed out of existence because of gandhi_2's logic.

Perhaps there's a market for a real-name-only, must post your address discussions site, but it'll be largely unused in this world.

Like, maybe, this one? Or this one?

Don't forget Nintendo's IOS microkernel operating system (from the Wii), of unknown expansion (possibly "I/O System", but it also does security), which is presumed to have been developed by RouteFree^WBroadOn^WiGware. TLA collisions suck.

As the system is based in Israel, American security service have had access.

While ICQ was founded in Israel, it's been owned by AOL for over a decade. The ICQ network has been integrated with AOL's AIM network many years ago and the servers are located in AOL's network supercenter in Virginia.

ICQ's networks haven't been integrated with AOL servers, they are still in Tel Aviv, Israel. They are a subsidiary of AOL, but not merged or located in the US. They are 2 different IM programs that were kept separated to appear as if there is competition, this is why you can download both an AIM chat program and a ICQ chat program and the user names are not cross-compatible.

8===D O: That is Muhammad sucking a massive cock, for those unaware.

according to a google search for the email address tied to the above comment (sirlewk on gmail), which linked to an account made public on linkedin, that was Luke Greco, a student at drexel university, living in the greater philadelphia area, for those unaware.

check him out in front of a screen tent, HI LUKE! screen tents are just like normal tents but they are made out of screen, for those unaware.

i wonder, do any muslim businessmen work with drexel's world renown co-op program? do any of the businessmen that do also work with any muslims? what would they think of you? what would they think of drexel?

you are NOTHING.

I'm positive Jennifer Meyers predates them by a couple of years. She's been using it since (at least) the early 1990's. From the article, their earliest use date is 1995.

I doubt it will work with Google. If you want to look for prior art on some patent, where are you going to look? Yahoo? Bing? Google has so well served searching for information that their company name is now the verb for that activity. Anybody who thinks theres a current patent that can't be defeated by prior art is kidding himself. If you're Google, there's always prior art. Even Marconi's radio patents were invalidated eventually in favor of Tesla - who was dead by then.

Google paid $133,000,000 for On2 and they didn't just buy their VP8 Codec, they bought the entire company including customers, patents and cross-patent licensing agreements that date back as far as the early 1990's, engineers, executives and lawyers. Google got an awesomely good deal here - the price of On2 was severely depressed below its true value by the market conditions, which is why wise companies save up their cash in good times by the way. If there were a better company to buy for video encoding, who would know that better than Google? Google is Google. They know stuff. On2 by itself has a long history of mergers and acquisitions - it was once valued at $1B. On2's VP6 was selected as the Macromedia Flash 8 video codec. VP3 was the basis of Theora. In 2005 Skype licensed the On2 codecs, all current and future versions. It was licensed by AOL. Even Microsoft has licensed On2 technologies since 1997. Oh, and China. China's big, right? China's DVD format is based on On2 codecs.

If the H.264 patent licensing consortium MPEG LA (Founded, 1996) wants a fight, I think Google's got a fight for them and Google's loaded for bear.

So we've got On2 codecs and technologies used in Flash, YouTube, China, Microsoft's video, and vastly many others over a nearly 20 year span. It's endorsed and supported by ARM, AMD(ATI) and Nvidia. Um, this one is completely over. The guy that thinks the On2 codecs are derivative of H.264 may be reversing his entropy arrow, but really it doesn't matter any more than the squeaking of a mouse blocking a tank tread.

We've also got a proponent with deep pockets. Google turns a profit of $2B a quarter. That's $22M a day, 7 days a week. They can afford some good lawyers, and lots of 'em. Maybe all of 'em. And that's not considering they have enough cash on hand to buy Kansas. They can afford to keep up the good fight forever without so much as an entry on their SEC forms. They can be stubborn, too... who walks away from the China market? Stubborn and well funded does not a good troll target make.

Somebody might try to get an edge here, but to steal a Star Wars quote: "These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short."

Or not... this is the sort of epic "Clash of the titans" legal brawl I'd like to see play out on groklaw, now that the SCO thing is pretty much over.

Anybody notice that Abbot was formerly the general manager for .NET online services @ Microsoft before webOS?
http://www.neowin.net/news/palm039s-head-of-software-resigns?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+neowin-forum+(Neowin.net+Forums)

So not sure if his leaving is a huge loss for Palm. May be just cutting the fat.

As long as having a good working relationship with a vendor that you and your company knows is incompetent and unethical is more important than your security and the principle of doing things right, then you get what you deserve.

You know what the exploit is. But what makes you think you are the only one? What makes you think no unethical hackers know about and won't find out about it for the life of this exploit (which seems from the vendor attitude that it could be very long)?

You (your company) needs to take steps to protect yourself, now, immediately. Do whatever it takes to make the exploit unusable from within your network and from outside. Send the bill to the vendor ... on your law firm's letterhead. Mention the names of several sleazebag debt collectors for extra points. If you are afraid of ruining your relationship for that, then, again, you deserve what you get.

I also suggest updating your resume and your LinkedIn profile, and keep an idea on the Indeed listings.

over a year ago, this post "Security by compliance is obviously not working. We need to stop thinking about information security and start thinking about information risk management. Compliance should be approached from a risk management, and not a purely technical, perspective. You need to do information security not to meet compliance but to protect the business. There is a huge difference between those two methodologies. We need to identify, govern and manage IT risk for security, and therein realize compliance." see it at http://www.linkedin.com/myprofile?trk=hb_tab_pro

Hmmm, again, info@fabulis.com does not appear to be good enough for you. How about this then or this. Any google search for Jason Goldberg + Fabulis turns up a ton of news articles, information about the site, it's investors and his past endeavors, like xing. It all looks pretty lame to me, but I think that about Facebook and Twitter too. Other then looking like another useless social media site I don't see anything wrong with it and it doesn't feel scammy to me unless you also think twitter and facebook (and Buzz!) are scammy.

Yes, I do feel twitter and facebook are scammy, but I don't see any problems with Fabulis.

Ah. I see now. No offense intended. I didn't know that it was personal.

I will certainly give your team (or peers, whatever) the benefit of the doubt on this, but I don't buy for a second that they're the only ones who can know what their talking about. They may be the only ones who do know what they're talking about, though. (important difference)

So you're telling me that 5 different Linux users can be logged into a single workstation with a single screen at the same time, and seamlessly switch between accounts without ever logging off?

Yes.

Note: you have to know WHAT THE FEATURE IS before you can address the point. Please keep that in mind before replying.

Yes, you should.

Linux has a well-designed GUI? When did this happen?

You should be more concerned with the question of whether Microsoft is ever going to have a well designed GUI.

What the fuck homepage are you looking at? I worked at a hospital in 2002.

Also: Microsoft took a completely hands-off approach to running our division

Yeah, but do you have any qualifications or any experience in anything other than Microsoft Windows? Obviously not.

That's what we learned when we asked a similar question with another FOSS project called KATO. Those who responded said that they couldn't figure out what KATO could do for them. You need to be very specific and concrete. Say it in five words or less and surface it very prominently.

"Random person thinks he knows everything"

He's not really that random, he's the "partner group manager with Microsoft", LinkedIn says he's the SMB & Distribution Director at Microsoft Ltd. He's kinda high up there, and in my opinion that's a huge slip, to say on record your company took inspiration from your main competitor. Can you imagine how bad it would sound if Chevy said "We wanted the look and feel of the Ford Mustang when we created the new Camaro". I'd be surprised if he wasn't looking for a new job by now, or at least given a position where he'll never be asked another question again ;)

On one hand, I want to say, "The State of NY are insensitive clods to let a few dollars' worth of ads be the justification for taking away her unemployment benefits."

But, on the other hand, maybe it shouldn't be the state's responsibility to subsidize those who can't make enough through their chosen occupation/hobby. I would totally quit my current job to sit around and post Slashdot comments all day whilst receiving a weekly $405 check from the state.

Also, I found this bit in TFA amusing:

Earlier this year Karin--a 2008 graduate from the University of Virginia School of Law who asked that her last name not be published

Oh really? I wonder how many Karin's graduated from the UoV law school in 2008 and now live in St. Louis? A quick Google search or two reveals that this is her Linked-In page. She uses her initials "KMCA" on the blog mentioned TFA (STL Meal Deals) and her full name is Karin McAnaney.

As far as I can tell, he's a 26 year old programmer/blogger who doesn't much like to program in his free time.

I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care, but whatever.

I agree. Headhunters NEVER get references until the employer, at the end of the interview, asks me to provide them to the headhunter (never happened ... those that wanted references asked to have them for themselves). If it was clear to them that I'm not the person they want for the job, they aren't going to ask for them.

BTW, I've also been a reference for a few people. They have asked me if it was OK. I gave them these same instructions.

OTOH, if I'm applying directly (no headhunter) to an employer for a job, I don't have a problem giving them references in advance if they ask. I also give them a link to my LinkedIn page (in the resume).

And I love your signature. I haven't had a good LOL from a /. signature in months, until now.

Always take a copy of your CV or resume to an interview: I've yet to be interviewed somewhere where the agency hasn't "tweaked" my CV in some way or another (and I've been on the receiving end as well - we were looking for a PHP programmer and the agency sent someone with a good looking CV - apart from the fact they had changed all mentions of Java to PHP: totally misrepresenting the candidate). Plus it's useful to have your own CV to refer to "just in case".
Alternatively, don't forget to promote yourself on sites such as http://linkedin.com/ and http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ - build up your own client base and get to keep the 10-25% the agency "skims" for just download bunches of CVs from job sites, adding their logo and sending them on.

Actually, it's from one of their programmers. MSR has nothing to do with it.

The really interesting table on that site is this one:
http://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/pt_database.php?PT_id=35
Which is labeled "Wikipedia table" and dated 2006 ... Did Mohd rip off Wikipedia?

Fortunately for him, wikipedia's history traces back to this revision which was apparently made by Mohd Abubuakr himself, back in August 2006. He was in school at the time, at Jawaharlal Nehru Tech. According to his LinkedIn profile, he's not so much a green field researcher as he is a techie ... Performance and Security consulting. The article is a little misleading ... makes it sound like MS research has a skunk works in Hyderabad trying to invent a new periodic table.

His blog is cute too. A little emo, a little egotistical, but seems like a nice guy. I wonder what his /. handle is.

EVERYTHING is better with a cyber- prefix.

Boy, that Matt Barton sure did a lot to cover up his marketing tracks, like writing a book about vintage games or being an assistant professor in Minnesota.

He's also listed right above the marketroid you mentioned - freak coincidence or the usual /. conspiracy?

You decide... (that is - if you've read that far...)

Lucas Arts announces an upcomming space sim followup to X Wing and Tie Fighter, lo and behold, someone Named Matt Barton ( http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/Matthew/Barton ) who is an online marketing consultant posts a story to the front page of Slashdot, plugging X-Wing (a true nerd would have plugged the fan favorite, TIE-Fighter), thus increasing marketing buzz for the new X-Wing title. Now, two questions for you slashdotters,
 
1. Am I reverse-psychology marketing you slashdotters for the new Lucas Arts game, and
 
2. Who will be the first one to find a monetary link between Matt Barton and Lucas Arts?

Although it says "IEEE" in the summary, TFA name names:

That leads us to his company homepage, Telebind Inc. Not surprisingly, their sole product is "technology and tools to create ownable Digital Property".

This is nothing but a pitiful attempt to pass astroturfing as a peer (or standardization group) reviewed article. And it is more probable that not even he believe on his product, but want to suck a few into his scam, just like the ones who sold the rootkit to Sony.

From http://www.linkedin.com/pub/chris-vein/7/110/71b you can see that Chris Vein was a senior advisor at the White House after only three years in the workforce! I do not think such a rise is possible by merit or desirable in an honest government.
I hope this case looks deeply at the motivations behind getting the police involved. I'm also extremely curious as to what the $1million that has to be spent to repair the "damage" is required for and hope the defence and judge push hard for an explanation of this unusual claim

"It's worth a chuckle if you enjoy watching a Microsoft fanboy kook in his natural habitat." - by _Sprocket_ (42527) on Tuesday July 07, @04:15AM (#28605039)

Name tossing now... yes, the very THIN veneer of "Sprocket's cool" is fading... torn apart, by facts he cannot overcome (such as the definition of the word PERFECT and the fact that Ken Richmond of NASDAQ stated that is EXACTLY how MDDS, which is composed of SQLServer 2005 + Windows Server 2003 are performing @ NASDAQ, verbatim, and that it yielded a solution that gave NASDAQ "Enterprise Availability")...

LOL, "TOO EASY"...

As far as network admins vs. programmers?

No it is the truth - plain & simple: Network Admins use tools that coders create, but very few of them actually do any coding (and batch files, or even shell scripts (albeit here to a lesser extent), are NOT full blown programming @ all, anymore than webpage design is in HTML - simply because they are NOT as difficult as full-blown coding (care to show me batch files that do pointers, for example?)

It is, just how it is, & I know: I hold or have held BOTH titles over 16++ yrs. now professionally, in addition to myself being multiply internationally published for my works 10x or so in the science of computing (how about you troll)?

There is a big difference between the two titles in terms of skills & know-how - & the logic to determine THAT much is simple: One (network admins/techs) only USE the tools the other (coders) create for them to USE... & therein, lies the difference, period.

LOL, well, "yea, ok" (Sarcasm)

Why don't we see what wikipedia says, then:

WIKIPEDIA "HIGH AVAILABILITY" DEFINITION PAGE (which lists 99.999% no less) -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability [wikipedia.org] [wikipedia.org]

Need more?

"ENTERPRISE AVAILABILITY"/"HIGH AVAILABILITY" definitions (from various sources):

"for the high availability enterprise servers (99.999% availability)" -> http://www.linkedin.com/pub/omar-gadir/8/162/219

"Device techniques for high availability For years, enterprise network equipment providers strived to deliver 99.999% availability which is the standard major telecommunications companies deliver. This type of reliability is desirable and it s expected when it comes to phone service. If enterprise networks are to support IP phones, they too must deliver similar availability" -> http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:kMTHFHnbIpwJ:www.alcatel-lucentbusinessportal.com/support/includes/doclink.cfm%3Fid%3D7369+%22Enterprise+Availability%22+and+%2299.999%25%22&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

As far as the word "PERFECT"?

"It doesn't mean

See subject-line above, which simply proves _Sprocket_'s trolling got his behind "PERFECTLY kicked" (& now, as you see? He has nothing better to say, than this evasive b.s. (as is per his usual - avoiding answering questions his big mouth wrote a check for which his know-how cannot ca$h)):

Please do, all reading: See how "_SpRoCkEt_" the big mouthed troll REFUSES to define the word PERFECTLY or PERFECT, and how he has had to RUN from there (but, for all his hassling me on the SEMANTICS of WORDS, which was all this troll sprocket had, he ran, lmao).

"Awesome. Everyone should follow that above link to see how the apk troll (see below) operates." - by _Sprocket_ (42527) on Monday July 06, @01:44PM (#28596879)

That's all I have been asking of folks really... & you are a fool, because they're going to see what I posted to you here, and see that you put words in my mouth also (stating I was saying NASDAQ ran it ALL (quote trading data) on MDDS, & I never said such things... you IMPLIED, & INSINUATED I did, and had to "eat your words" troll, lol... as well as about uptime 99.999% also, & I am going to post THAT MUCH HERE, once more as well):

SPROCKET define PERFECTLY & AVAILABILITY, won't you? Why do you avoid that simple set of questions??

(LOL, I know why... _Sprocket? shot his big mouth off saying NASDAQ's MDDS was not doing 99.999% uptime, & when HE was asked to prove that? He admitted he COULD NOT!)

Also?
