The legal system understands anything that someone explains to it. So if you explain something to a judge or a lawyer, he or she is supposed to think about what you've explained and figure out how the law applies to it.
not downing your comment but I have been working in the legal system for nearly 10 years now and can say without a doubt that most lawyers are some of the least technically minded people you will ever meet, seriously their attitude usually is "If I wanted to learn about it why am I paying you to do it?" and "Just make it work". They usually don't even understand discovery laws and lifecycles, metadata preservation, hash validations, etc. etc. - and that all concerns standard things that they should be on top of for day to day defensibility standards, so are there some lawyers that are interested in learning and hearing your explanation? yes. Will the vast majority want to hear your explanation? no.
A fake processor would most likely not have these cutting edge advantages, resulting in inferior performance compared with the authentic Intel processor.
heh, I would think that the first giveaway was the solid block of plastic with a sticker on it that was supposed to be the fan/heatsink
is it just me or have none of these business execs ever read "goose that lays the golden eggs" as a kid- the fact of the matter is that restricting information actually discourages people from wanting to read it- it doesn't in any way encourage them to pay for it, people will in all likelihood just watch the news or look for stories that are free somewhere else which means both more disinformation and bias being treated as news.
online doesn't currently work for any of the custom firmwares as the psn link currently only allows authorized firmwares, you can't even browse the store ( which is pretty dumb if you ask me)
Hollywood should stop being so focused on special effects and shoud focus more on a decent plot
that's a hard argument to make after avatar literally made Hollywood billions of dollars, executives see dollars and not reviews- they would put out a million "little man"s and "gili"s if it made $ for them.
oh yeah, well I only listen to pirated music, and only from cds that are bought used, and then I burn them and give them to my friends BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
wtf dude, for anyone that is used to using well.... any other graphic application known to man, a single window mode makes more sense. Sorry their redesigned square wheel bugs you but you will get used to a round one.
Am I the only one that is underwhelmed by android (and iphone OS)? I want a tablet that can dual boot ubuntu and win7 (or a full osx with boot camp could do as well) and is light and cheap with multitouch... you know something with the application support for what I want to do with it?
Except for those exploits that target Acrobat, or Flash, or.. or.. or.
those are both java exploits actually-
personally I can say that pretty much every virus that I have ever gotten is from a java exploit- I wish that there were ways around not having a JRE but too many things use it
If I were paying for a license, I would have the right to read the text even if my purchased copy were destroyed
here here, I always bring this up and people write it off like I am talking crazy but if you are just purchasing a license then there should be a policy in place to replace it if loss stolen or damaged, if you are purchasing the physical media then you should be able to do what you please with it- you can't have it both ways
both of the security holes in flash and acrobat aren't holes in the adobe products themselves, they are both fairly secure, the problem is that both allow you to run code through them, with flash you can socket just about anything into it and the big hole in acrobat is running javascript through it- really adobe ought to do what macromedia did when they had flash and only allow code to run that modifies local files through a standalone projector file and not through a.swf file
Firstly I give you zero credit for your opinion as you start off with "wrong" which shows exactly how closed minded you are to anything other than your own opinion. "Deterrent forces" are exactly what is causing and enforcing terrorist resolve, the power behind having a gun is not to wave it around and scare people, it is to have the confidence and resolve to perform your actions with the safety net that if things go bad you are covered. There certainly are a lot of nations that "sleep well at night" without constantly posturing their forces in order to scare people into doing what they say and to tell you the truth the deterrent based roles make me far more uncomfortable.
You have your liberty because others are willing to serve
I hate that argument, the fact is that with no military we would be taken over by someone (maybe mexico) but if you are going to tell me that my freedom is thanks to the troops in iraq, or those that went to panama or vietnam or any other number of useless political or personal posturing that those in the armed forces were used by those in power in order to either gain or maintain their financial or ideological positions I beg to differ. The only soldiers that we can truly say gave our lives for our freedom are those in the revolutionary and civil wars, anything else is 100% conjecture.
No, it's intended to be an indefinite source of income for the RIAA, MPAA, and a growing list of IP holders who effectively want to own all meaningful human endeavor.
unfortunately you are half correct as the RIAA and MPAA aren't IP holders but sue on BEHALF of IP holders so they are not only leeches making a living off the backs of both ordinary people being sued, but also off of the IP holders who are leeching off of the artist.
Use snail-mail to send SD cards to yourself. Works like a charm.
but then what happens when the unscrupulous postal worker steals my mail and finds pictures of me with a donkey, a tub of crisco and 5 midgets dressed like schoolgirls?
DRM, I've heard. Another reason for having it would likely be that Adobe needs to be ahead of the competition, for example by supporting multimedia content.
It is also useful when creating a pdf from web content, the javascript allows you to append some embedded links and such for offline usage
The whole concept reminds me of arguments about scanned pictures, where one guy who scanned a copyrighted image and put it on the Internet gets all pissed off that some other guy uses it on his site. "You're ripping off all the work I did!"
no, really- I wrote this.
Seriously, have you actaully ever used facebook? Probably half the people I've reconnected with are people I would never have found through online search
very true, I think the thing is that for a lot of the people that I reconnected with on facebook are people that would otherwise not have an online presence at all, sure any of them could find me online, but the prolly would never have looked
I suggest two reforms:
1): Company has to prove they actually used said patent in a product that they developed and was sold by their company sometime before the lawsuit, or patent is void and given to the party they are suing for infringement. This would be a stipulation on top of prior art, and should be easy enough to prove.
2): You lose, you pay - for everyone's lawyers fee's!! If company cannot pay fee's upon reasonable amount of time after judgment, then the losing company is then owned by winning company until it is either liquidated or all financial obligations are complete.
Then again, I am one of those socialist Canadians!!
that wouldn't be a very good idea since if you were a company specializing in R&D you wouldn't be able to own any patents and for that matter if you were an individual you could never own a patent since if you say, invented a perpetual motion device tomorrow but couldn't fund the building of it but GM got wind of it they could conceivably make it and you would get no credit or $- and the second is what everyone always says is a good idea, but it isn't since corporations have the millions to throw away on a lawsuit and individuals don't, hence B2B suits will go on as usual and if you are a small inventor you can never recoup your losses when the suits steal your stuff
I am using an ez reader pocket pro by astak- no drm on the machine, can handle drm books though if needed (has adobe rights management) and was $199- also it is cool because it handles chm and rtf files which is great for documentation
Slashdot Mirror
are they sure that those people aren't just crappy drivers that are usually distracted by something else?
For some, the only way you could get them to successfully store the information would be to directly write to their neurons.
you can put an engine in a box but it won't make it go anywhere....... I think it would be a waste of written neurons
