This is a copyright case. Blocking software patents is like blocking patents on items that involve a hammer. The problems with software patents are with obviousness, not with the ability to make patentable, novel things. If you can patent x, you can't patent x but on a computer. The fact that y uses a computer should not make it ineligible.
why it should be called GNU/Linux, e.g., often iterated by Richard Stallman
Well of COURSE he would say that. He's behind GNU and would love his name associated with Linux. Don't assume his main push for technical accuracy is technical accuracy.
I didn't read anything, and don't plan to. But maybe if an invention has a patent in another sovereign nation (Chinese patent something in China but want a US patent too), then they get fast-tracked because the thing is already partially vetted.
It's a poor excuse, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's what this is like.
Didn't we conquer them enough? Let them have their sovereignty unless they want to give it up (though having them pay federal income taxes under that arrangement is a bit of a double standard).
A functioning web browser can provide most applications people need for their jobs these days. Which is good.
Except it's not good. It's inner-platform effect, making the browser a complete implementation of an OS. The web as cross-platform is good, but the browser as the web's OS UI is not. Until web apps can use browser libraries without being a tab/window of the browser itself, task switching is severely crippled. I just have one Chrome icon at the bottom of my screen and that's every program.
I never said it wasn't survivable, just that we are an ice age species. I'm rather fond of most of the plant and animal life we use for food, too. And that selection might get too expensive to maintain.
Yes, but the heating still seems to release CO2. And if the material has no more capacity than to recapture that same CO2, this is a net zero proposition.

Did they call it a checksum or did they say it "amounts to a checksum"? The latter is actually true.
Streaming a song with the phase reversed is still streaming a song, and the maker would have to pay royalties.
Yeah, that would also be copyright infringement. There's lots of legal reasons why you want to distance yourself more than that.
You don't need to store the actual tones/frequencies - just the relative intensity across a few data points.
Checksum is shorthand terminology - music fingerprinting is probably more accurate, but everyone knew what they meant.

If they meant Nokia's Windows Phone devices, they have a fair point.
Which means that "Apple....lets you" is false. Maybe read what I replied to.
Even that's not true. Have you ever tried to downgrade to an older iOS release?

Of course that could just mean you can get by with a cheaper, less-powerful phone. Spend the money on your upgradeable computer.
What, exactly, are the rules of this nothing?

This is exactly the problem. Unless this has user opt-in required for each site, this is a gaping potential security hole.
On the upside: No native tribe ever put Hillary or Trump up as candidates for election to any office.
Maybe not, but they're also US citizens with voting rights. So they're not exactly uninvolved either.

On step #4, they may be using the same suppliers. How many suppliers are there for experimental cell lines?

RSS? I still like it for HTML, even if it's fallen out of favor.

Or, you know, maybe that wasn't a cicada but tinnitus.

In the past the earth had much higher CO2 values, and more plant life.
And no humans
The middle ground between those two extremes is as wide as the ocean.
Nyquist theorem? I know neither YouTube not my speakers have what it takes.
Wouldn't a dictionary count as a primary source (it's technically linguistic trend research)? Wikipedia barely allows citation from a primary source.
