Yes, we accomplished that through two important changes. Cockpit doors that lock and passengers that will beat a hijacker to death rather than follow the old advice to sit quietly.
At the same time, they didn't seem all that interested in the false identification until he reported the weakness. The last instance of the false ID was 2014.
I am not stealing anything. Are you claiming that since Google used the headers Oracle has lost the ability to use them?
The ability to use the same headers has long been understood, expected, and taken advantage of by the producers of both proprietary and free software. This has been the universal understanding since before the PC existed. It is you who would steal from the entire industry.
Actually, that had very little to do with it. They were sloppy and kept losing bitcoins. The same problem would exist if they were holding dollars, rubles, or gold bars. Rule number 1 when holding something valuable: don't lose it!
The headers is all that Google uses. Personally, I am in full agreement with Page. Oracle wants the courts to make it a problem for everyone so they can grab some of Google's money.
We have a good use, but it is blocked by people hoping to create enough problems to kill nuclear power (A bit like chopping your feet off to make sure you don't get an ingrown toenail).
We could reprocess it and end up with new fuel and a much smaller pile of waste that will be safe in 200-500 years.
Yet, I can write a novel telling essentially the same story that some other author worked long and hard on and as long as I use my own words, I'm fine legally speaking.
So you have no problem with a world that has an IIS browser that can only talk to IIS servers and an Apache browser that only talks to Apache, etc etc? Because at heart, http is a form of RPC API.
It's far worse. What of stdio? That crosses several different OSes and many implementations. Most lamguages specify a number of standard functions that must be implemented and can only be defined one way.
If the courts let APIs be copyrighted we might as well turn our calendars back to the 1950's since there will be no way forward.
The only completely safe machine is disconnected from power and network, has no data of value on it, is fully embedded in a concrete block, and sunk in the deepest part of the ocean.
In the real world, safety is relative.
In this particular case, the vulnerability is in the proprietary web server installed in the base linux system.
I never claimed there was a penalty WRT the DMCA notice. That's one of the big flaws in the DMCA. I simply claimed that they made a legal assertion of ownership which is a much greater ethical violation than mere infringement of a copyright.
Consider, If I download an episode of Family Guy for my own entertainment, I have done Fox a lot less harm (arguably none since I wouldn't pay for a copy anyway) than if I actually block them from distributing the episode themselves for fun or profit by claiming to own it.
You made no legal assertion, you just said stuff. If you attempt to sue someone for infringing on "your" source code (or, for example, attempt to DMCA Ubuntu) or a picture of "your" tower, you will have made a legal assertion.
Just imagine the world of hurt you would be in if you tried to take the tower down and rent the space to a mini-mart.

How many hijackers has the TSA caught? I don't seem to remember any.
Presumably that includes the adrenaline junkies GP spoke of?
At a minimum, adults who have kids. Then there's adults looking for something light who are tired of car crashes and unfunny 'comedies'.
At the same time, they didn't seem all that interested in the false identification until he reported the weakness. The last instance of the false ID was 2014.
And all he knows is a few vague details of his contact and that he will die shortly for squeeling.
LOL, who made this rule? It must be the guys who enter the market after a software product is successful and start cloning the software.
Yes, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, and Sun were participants in that accepted norm.
I noticed you couldn't find a reference for your funky definition of stealing. Gee, I wonder why?

I take it then you prefer dystopian futures?
What does that have to do with anything?

You missed the important subtlety. "The Java programming language" isn't the same as Java (TM). The former is merely descriptive.

No. Sun vs. MS was a trademark dispute. Sun maintained that by adding windows-only "extensions", MS gave up the right to call the result "Java".
Google never called the result "Java".

On the other hand, it would grind the entire industry to a halt and render the point moot. Enjoy your new desktop adding machine.
It also means all those Linux APIs marked "GPL" (e.g., EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) are no long GPL only and can be used in proprietary kernel modules, too.
Not actually. The kernel won't link those symbols in your module unless you declare the module to be GPL. It simply will not load.
Linux was written with the assumption that APIs can't be copyrighted.

I am considering voting for sanders as a write-in.
