As I said, she most likely lost because she was not represented.
She may have presented herself, but for fuckssake, there was a judge there. You know, that guy who knows the laws and is supposed to apply them sensibly. Like not passing totally idiotic verdicts.
Conventional public transportation has lots of problems that all are well known and most of it comes down to the simple fact that mass transport needs masses and while some part of your route may coincide with enough other people (especially in rush hours of densely populated areas) but most probably not all of it.
The driverless cars actually could be the foundation of a new generation of public transport: you could think of these bubble-cars as the atoms of a peronalised public transport.
The difference between first to invent and first to file has absolutely nothing to do with prior art. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
It only comes into play when two patent applications are filed for the same invention in roughly the same time because it is how it will be decided which one will be accepted. (And, should I elaborate this even more, in this case there are no conflicting patent applications, it's about prior art and prior art has nothing to do with first to file.)
Yeah, what about it? I have grown up in a socialist country and I was told that the capitalism will fail anytime (though it did not stop people from trying to escape there from our socialist utopia to the hell of capitalism, even though they could be (and many of them were) shot dead on the border). And here I am, thirty years later, and the doom of capitalism is still impending while "the only way forward"-communist has failed spectacularly.
So please, lecture me on how communism is the only way forward. .
I'm amazed at how much negative feedback this is generating.
He is spending money to fuck with other people. And not in the literal sense. Frankly, if he would donate to a campaign to ban disabled parking spaces I would be a lot more understanding because there he could gain something. But supporting prop 8 is just pure jerkage.
Just because an individual may not support gay marriage does not mean they also hate gay people.
In my experience, yes, it does. There may be some pseudo-rational mumbo-jumbo but it almost boils down to outright homophobia.
Personally I would prefer it if the state would just wash it's hand of the 'marriage' issue altogether. Introduce civil unions between people and award benefits and/or tax breaks accordingly.
So you propose that in the future marriage be called civil union, because...?
So how come there is no push to get women in high risk jobs, like oil wells, private security companies, mining, etc?
The question is: how would society gain anything from that?
Because it seems rather clear that getting women with the right talents to jobs where productivity largely depends on talent and can be quite high with the right people (of which there is a shortage) is a move that helps society.
That's a very strange claim. It's not just possible to write plugins similar to VST (e.g. there is DSSI, which can also host VSTi plugins with the dssi-vst wrapper) but you can also build native Linux VSTs.
Granted, your reasoning is hard to follow, so I may have missed something and perhaps you mean something else entirely.
Everyone who has ever seen a newborn could see that this is utter bullshit: newborns' vision is not really functioning and they do not make any conscious movement, that only comes months later.
Sorry DRM is stupid all day. Give me the non-DRM-laden version every time.
FTFY
Physical media has serious problems (like being inconvinient to handle, not really backupable, dependent on other devices to use it, etc - and it may have DRM on it at the end). You don't have to go back there, you can just move ahead and use the ethereal formats without the DRM-nonsense.
And with the right Calibre plugin you can de-DRM any ebook from Amazon automatically.
And recently, the The New England Journal of Medicine reported depression meds have no effect.
That's patently untrue. The Huffingtonpost article you link to is wildly inaccurate, self-contradictory and much more about sensationalism than the actual NEJoM article.
Just take a look at this article. If you see the same in the print edition then you should come off your acid trip. And it's not that it is gorgeous in its full glory - it is also implemented correctly. On the desktop it does not overload the CPU, it is absolutely enjoyable on mobile devices, hell, it renders OK also in lynx. And note the correct use of videos: you are not expected to watch it like TV, it just enhances the text.
I fully expect these to be a re-built subset of applications, not binary compatible but code compatible.
Actually they are most probably talking about the "Windows Store apps". These contain both x86 and ARM binaries, run sandboxed, fullscreen with the Metro UI, so I see no reason you could not run them on the X1. However I also do not see much reason to be excited by this functionality - only time will tell, but I do not see huge potential in running dumbed down, simple apps on a gaming console.
They're not the government. They have no "fairness" obligation to everyone.
But they are a business and as such, they are subject to business regulations.
I don't see how they can be accused of holding a monopoly when "no other horse breeding registry allows cloned animals..." indicates that they ain't the only game in town.
To be a monopoly, you don't have to have 100% of the market - just like Windows does not have 100% of the desktop OS market and there are quite a few other desktop OSes, yet it definitely has a monopoly in that area.
That statement is just as silly as if you said 'OH, well bullets kill, and are made of metal, maybe no one should use metal there either?!'
Yes, that's silly. Just as silly that because of the A-bomb they should not use nuclear powerplants, for exactly the same reasons.
I don't believe they should have huge petro based power plants that should something go amiss incinerate exceptionally large areas and make them un-livable well beyond your life span, causing slow deaths to large populations with birth defects years to come.
You know, the problem with oil-burning power plants (and in Japan that's what they are using to substitute the currently off-line nuclear power plants) that nothing has to "go amiss" for them to cause slow deaths and birth defects (and, I should add, currently there's nothing to suggest that the Fukushima incident will result in slow death or birth defects).
Yes, I can totally see, how a misguided Apple user would download stuff from Amazon to his iPhone instead of using Apple's app store - well, except for the minor problem , that their phones do not allow them to do it.
That 51,1% certainly does not include a lot of the things you have listed - like the 25% VAT (sales tax), the egregious taxes on anything related to cars and don't even get me started about liquor taxes in Sweden. If you factor all that in, it comes a lot closer to 75%.

Only if it's by Soft Cell.
It DOES have DMA since USB3.
Yeah, what about it?

How did you come to the conclusion that the situation where noone is caring for you is equal with a situation where a whole tribe takes care of you?
Who the fuck moderated this up?
Everyone who has ever seen a newborn could see that this is utter bullshit: newborns' vision is not really functioning and they do not make any conscious movement, that only comes months later.
They are certainly experts of this topic since it is what they are doing in Tibet for 60 years.

That most probably means that those HDMI inputs are NOT HDMI 2.0 ports (especially because the HDMI 2.0 specs were released this September).
Actually they are most probably talking about the "Windows Store apps". These contain both x86 and ARM binaries, run sandboxed, fullscreen with the Metro UI, so I see no reason you could not run them on the X1. However I also do not see much reason to be excited by this functionality - only time will tell, but I do not see huge potential in running dumbed down, simple apps on a gaming console.

Incidentally, having a patent also means no patent, since algorithms are not patentable.
But they are a business and as such, they are subject to business regulations.

But there's a little problem there: she is.
OK, so who will be the first to post the phrase "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Oh, it was me.
