    So then why is 99% of the #GamerGate hashtag feed complaining and harassing women? Why is this Ubisoft story not even mentioned once by the GamerGater crowd despite the story being more than 6 hours old?

    Correction: an indie developer having sex with people potentially involved with the review of her games

    But the person never reviewed her games. So why is this even still being brought up?

    Yes, a journalist who never reviewed any of her games and only mentioned here a couple of times in some articles that weren't game reviews.

    If that's true, where is the outrage amongst the GamerGate crowd? The BBC article was last updated nearly 6 hours ago so there would be plenty of time for it to be the talk of the Gamer Gate crowd and yet none of them seem to even care. As the person above me points out if you watch Twitter for #GamerGate it's not even mentioned once.

    No, it doesn't sound like that if you actually read their post.

    With Gmail, I can instruct users to flag my emails as "not spam" because the emails actually go through, but simply end up in the spam folder.

    Yahoo and Hotmail on the other hand, just flat out reject the traffic at lower level. They send rejection notices back to my server that contain "tips" on how to make sure I'm not an open relay, causing spam, etc.

    Reading comprehension FTW.

  6. Re:Trademark breadth on GNOME Project Seeks Donations For Trademark Battle With Groupon · · Score: 2, Informative

    Trademarks are usually valid within a specific field of use.

    Yes, and the mark's specified goods and services don't overlap with this PoS system.

    But the more famous the mark becomes, the broader the judge will construe exclusivity.

    GNOME isn't that famous.

    For example, something like "COCA-COLA" is so famous that Coke's lawyers will have no trouble making a prima facie case for dilution if the mark is used for any other product.

    Wrong. are numerous registered marks that are "COCA-COLA" that are not from the Coca-Cola company.

    Mozilla had to rename Firebird to Firefox even though database software and web browser software aren't exactly the same field.

    But the actual registered goods and services for the mark could have overlapped.

    But whether the "GNOME" mark applies to useful computer software in general or to GUI frameworks in particular is for a judge to decide after the GNOME project's counsel presents its case.

    This isn't a GUI framework. It's a tablet PoS system. It does not fall under any of GNOME's registered goods and services.

    Unless they are developing on the target tablet then it is...

    No one is going to be doing that and even if they were that would be a humongous stretch as their mark is clearly for desktop computers not tablets.

    It seems that there is a clear-cut case for GNOME, that should guarantee victory.

    In what way is it "clear-cut"? Their trademark registration does not involve goods and services that involve either tablets or PoS systems.

  9. How is their infringment? on GNOME Project Seeks Donations For Trademark Battle With Groupon · · Score: 5, Informative

    How would this be infringement? GNOME's trademark lists only the following goods and services:

    Downloadable computer software tools and libraries used for the development of other software applications; downloadable computer software development tools; downloadable computer software for creating and managing a computer desktop; downloadable computer software for use as a graphical user interface; downloadable computer software for word processing, database management, and use as a spreadsheet

    None of which this tablet system falls under other since this isn't "downloadable computer software". And:

    Computer software development; computer software design; computer programming for others; technical consulting services in the field of computer software; licensing of intellectual property

    Nor this.

    I know this will not be popular of me to say, but this looks like IP trolling.

    WoW is not the last game that was not released on a console if that's what you are referring to "PC only". And since every game since 2000 was also released on OS X it also does not qualify for the meaning of "PC only" as meaning "Windows only".

    A Mac is a PC and Overwatch will be released for OS X just like basically every other Blizzard game.

    [citation needed] Companies like Cisco have directly attributed lost business to the revelations of the NSA spying. There is no reason to believe such business loss would have happened otherwise.

    If it lets you spy on the iranians... or you know, cause their centrifuges to spin themselves apart. I don't want my intelligence agencies to release that vulnerability until they've spun those fuckers down.

    You do realize that your statement here completely misses their point, right? How naive are you that you think only the NSA knows about these vulnerabilities? You really think criminals and other countries like China don't also know them and aren't using them against corporations and individuals in the US?

    It's really not in the NSA's job description to be exposing vulnerabilities in public systems so much as exploiting them. We don't have an agency whose job description touches cyber security.

    Hahahaha. That's so wrong it's hilarious. A central tent of the NSA's mission is to protect the security of the networks in this country.
