You're stretching desperately, much like Blackberry is. RIM did not invent G3, G4, TCP/IP or the concept of delivering a message over those technologies. They don't even use the technologies they invented anymore.
They invented a now obsolete method of delivering messages to a small device that fits in your pocket, but you can't patent a CONCEPT, only a particular way of reducing it to practice. In this case, a way that is long obsolete.
I'm not a lawyer, but I wonder if it's possible for a European company to use an American cloud provider at all without breaking European data privacy laws now?
So you are saying they spend massive bux and leash themselves so someone calling himself Bob will tell them it will be goodly if they will reboot the device?
Exactly this. In a day and age where electronic copies are made for free and transmitted for next to no cost, they for some reason expect to be paid like the days where they had to actually print and mail thousands of copies.
At one time, Blackberry's tech was the only game in town, but these days, apps like Twitter are just a combination of common technologies that happen to be available on mobile phones now. Nobody needed (or wanted) to study how Blackberry did it to implement the newer services. Just because both are interfaces to make your vehicle go, the gas pedal and the buggy whip have little in common.
For the most part, Blackberry itself ditched their old tech and replaced it with common and widely available G3/G4 and Android.
They had a good run back when one-way pagers were the big thing, then they could no longer answer the question "what's next". Now they're running on momentum only and it's winding down.
On the other hand, since accoustic information is inherently lower resolution, they could use the same strategy as civil GPS where the lower significant bits are scrambled. Or MS could add a process flag so that the debugging API doesn't work on flagged games.
Of course, none of that will stop an external network sniffer attached between the PC and the network.
On the other hand, if people are stepping on patent landmines, it should actually invalidate the patent. After all, how non-obvious could it be if people keep stumbling over it?
At one time, they were a practicing patent holder. Now they are a troll.
No excuses unless you also believe that pick pockets are blameless because it's not their fault pockets are made so easy to pick. Bank robbers are also blameless. Banks shouldn't be so easy to rob. Serial killers are blameless, people shouldn't be so easy to kill...
It's only a zinger because he has no good answer to it and no valid defense against it. I know it's a long shot, but if enough legislators are paying attention, they will remember that next time legislation that might limit data collection comes up.
We already have that. People found guilty at trial typically do more time than people who plead guilty.
However, everyone, even guilty people have the right to a fair trial. Are you saying that the problem is that people exercise their rights?
The problem is that we think every damned little thing calls for putting people in a cage. And to make sure people plead guilty, we insist on putting them in a cage before they even get their trial (so much for innocent until proven guilty) even though we have technology that would let them go on with their lives and still assure they would show up for their court date (and it would even cost less than maintaining the jail).
The real issue with blockchain registration isn't the blockchain or the registration. It's the way people stop thinking and start nodding once they hear the word "blockchain".
That is, they take the part that blockchain really does prove, John Doe registered this thing at this time and read way too much in to that fact. They assume for some reason that if it's on the blockchain, it must be true. That is, that John Doe MUST be the rightful owner because the blockchain says so. In fact, it doesn't mean John Doe's blockchain entry is true and correct, just that it is something John Doe (or somebody with John Doe's key) claimed and when he claimed it.
If there is a hashed digital photo in the entry, it proves that whoever made the entry was in posession of the hash of the digital photo at the time of the registration. No more, no less.
Absolutely agreed. Preferably, whoever curates the recorded video should be outside of the police chain of command so recordings don't "juist happen" to go missing.
So you're saying the Apollo command and lunar module flight software was simple BECAUSE the CPUs weren't all that powerful and there wasn't much RAM?
If the device has enough power to host Linux, you're in relative luxury. Even there, you face challenges not seen in the server or desktop world. If the project actually calls for something like ARM (where you trade off simple hardware and robustness against crappy power and electrical noise for CPU power), you may again be at the limits of what the processor can do. Of course, step one may be deciding if you actually need ARM or if you can get away with less. That may be a very pricy choice.
You sound more like a stereotypical PHB that thinks programming is just a bunch of typing so it must be easy.
Investigations don't mean much if the result is tyupically no action taken. The most extreme violations may EVENTUALLY lead to some significant action, but generally far less that the action taken against a non-cop for the same crime.
If I choked someone to death for selling individual cigarettes on the sidewalk, I would certainly go to jail. The only question would be for how long. If I firedshots into a crowd, it wouldn't be a question of me keeping my job or not, it would be a question of life without parole vs a sentence where I might see parole before I die (assuming I lived to stand trial).
These are cases where the police were the only ones actually shooting. Only the suspects faced criminal action.

Your comment is well on target. In Jesus' day, leprosy was the "punishment from God" disease.
WWJD? Heal the lepers.
The up side of your prediction is that if you have to hurry to the next restroom, you'll have a nice supply of toilet paper ready.
The U.S. government is not the government in the EU.

You mean other than every day this winter since global climate change sent the arctic air to North America?

Time for a quiz, what language is the source in?

Perhaps you should actually follow the link the AC replied to me with. It includes the actual (substantially more than 1000 lines) source.
Now, go re-read the thread. Read it for comprehension this time rather than looking for excuses to stop thinking and start bloviating.
Or don't and remain ignorant. It's up to you.
But MongoDB is web-SCALE!
Excellent link! Thank you.

If you think the flight software was simple, you don't understand the requirements. I suspect that's the explanation for this whole thread.

That sounds an awful lot like Facebook co=owns it.
