This started long before Obama. The big data collection was almost inevitable because it became possible, economical, and easy to justify in the name of "national security." As long as they could keep it secret with virtually unlimited funding, it would keep growing regardless of who controlled the White House, Congress, or the Supreme Court.
Some simple things, such as performing a search and replace using manual page breaks. A simple shortcoming, but it keeps me from being able to dump MS Office.
Also, many frequently used functions, while still there, are less "available", meaning they require more keystrokes to use. This costs time.
Also, if you can't write without the mouse, it takes too long.
Why don't they just look at the source code of the two versions? It should be obvious whether it was copied. Maybe the lawyers don't make enough money of they use common sense.
You can make a site pretty if you make if you remove most of the functionality and make it really hard to use. It's the new way! Even/. is headed that direction.
The MPAA applauded the action, and announced that, in order to curb piracy, anybody at a movie with a powered-on cell phone will henceforth be summarily shot and killed.
Software is covered by copyright. The patents in question were obvious to anybody with half a brain and should never have been awarded. We can thank the blind ignorance of the USPTO for this.
There are serious doubts as to whether software patents in general should be allowed. Technically, software is algorithms which can be expressed as mathematics, and therefore not patentable. Practically, software patents are used almost exclusively by patent trolls and large companies in a way that inhibits creativity, new applications, and product development. This is precisely the opposite the intentions of the original patent law.
New Zealand has recently prohibited software patents. Maybe the U.S. and the rest of the world will come to their senses and follow suit.
Look for modern fiction to adjust to fit the parameters of the application, degrading to a common level and uniform format. The literature cannot be observed without being altered. It will be lot like the mandatory movie formula. The content itself is irrelevant.
Now the FBI blatantly spies on everybody, including political groups, and nobody cares enough to stop them. The FBI doesn't even consider law enforcement their primary job any more. Now it's "national security".
Yahoo Tech is going the route of site dilution, in which each site eventually dumbs down to something in between Gawker, Huff Post, and Fox News. The sites post the same inane, inaccurate stories, such as "supervolcanoes imminent". Uh oh... wasn't that on/. ?
Why does everybody in the government think I'm inherently unsafe?! We should cut the budget by of every governmental empire that has the word "security" in their job description, by 73.2%. Then maybe they would stop chasing so many dragons and fighting so many windmills.
"Dr Perrillat said there are no known supervolcanoes that are in danger of erupting in the foreseeable future."
Tricked again! The hysterical headline is exaggerated, and society as we know it survives another day.

Did HP hire Ballmer?
They just want to go IP-based.

No. You can search but not replace with that extension.

Egads! Google is becoming Microsoft!!

This has been used on slow news days for years. 2012, 2011, and 2006, for example.

The big question here is: Are the people of Louisiana finally as important to us as the bees?
No, when your cup is empty, you'll be shown an intrusive Starbucks video. The purpose of this technology is to make you a better ad target.
Well said.

I'll sell you some. The underwriter ratings aren't high, but my intentions are good.

Why is this sensationalist crap here? Is Dice trying to convert /. to CNN?
News flash: It's going to be hot in the summertime, cold in the winter. Weather records are set every year.
So, I drive into Canada or Mexico, do you think Homeland Security would be kind enough to decrypt my files that Cryptolocker got to?

The U.S. Constitution would be considered terrorist literature by some in government if they'd ever read it.
