So then why even make your post where you implicitly suggest such a thing. By the very fact that you say: "they can do what they want with it. What's the big deal?" you are trying to make it seem as if they are above any criticism. Otherwise why would you have even made the post?
There's a big difference between storing usage logs and then storing personally identifiable information as well. The first isn't a problem, but the second certainly is.
Except for the difference in the fact that you didn't go missing after filing a restraining order against your dad. Your dad didn't also "lose" the seat that you bled on and then washed out the entire car. He also probably didn't shortly after buy books about homicide investigations. But hey, you're situation is totally analogous to the case at hand.
No. Unless you're going to try to claim it was the guy who said he had murdered people that are still alive. That's always a classic defense by the Hans defenders.
No, there is underlying truth to it but the summary writer was a complete fucktard. The reason the legislature was getting involved was possible privacy issues over a patients genetic test information. Safeguarding the privacy of medical data seems to be a pretty good use of legislative power, but that's just me.
Latin is a great resource if you want to learn other romance languages
Actually they could just spend their time more wisely and directly learn the language they want in the first place.
and it is the language of western science.
Funny, since most of the scientists I've ever met or worked with don't know speak Latin. Apparently it's not as big of a deal as your conflation attempts to make it.
Except for the fact that 10 million dollars is a mere.05% of their entire yearly operating revenue. They probably spend more on office supplies in a year than on such a payoff.
All Bill Gates did was bring a GUI about when every other operating system was still command line based. That's an amazing claim since Apple came out with an OS with a GUI before Windows. I guess it really didn't exist though.
What do you want to bet that the clueless idiots at the PTO actually give this serious consideration? Since this is a USPTO it will be granted in no time.

Since their board has no text on it, what copyright could they be violating?
Your post is a non sequitur. There is no requirement that a copyrighted object need to have text.
That was a pretty pathetic attempt to defend yourself, Twitter. Next time be less obvious.

Wow, you're so hardcore and edgy. I'm sure James Dean would be proud.
Vimeo owns the site; they can do what they want with it.
And they can also be criticized if they make decisions that their users don't like.

That's not the kind of information the person was talking about. So basically you're attacking a ridiculous strawman.
My half blind dad can tell the difference between upscaled DVD and Blu-Ray. If you can't tell the difference you are clearly legally blind.
The advantages of BluRay over upconverted DVD is minimal at best.
You must have a shitty tv or are blind to make such a stupid statement.

I think some amount larger than .001% of them take the SAT, for example.
And yet interestingly enough most people taking the SAT aren't fluent in Latin and seem to do just fine on it.
especially when the proprietary part is very large and complex (eg Java)
You're about 3 years out of date on calling Java proprietary, kiddo. In case you forgot, it's been GPLed for over a year now.
Oh come on, mod. This was clearly a joke.

Kids don't learn Latin anymore
Because it has no practical application for 99.999% of them. There's a reason it's a dead language and it has nothing to do with computers.
Yeah, they clearly thought it would be an easy change considering that they said that it would be a huge risk to do such a thing.
Exactly. It's not like anyone at RedHat gets paid or anything.

Apple actually licensed the GUI patents from Xerox. They didn't steal anything.
No, Ted Stevens. He enlightened the other members of Congress that the Internet was not a big truck, but a series of tubes.
Hey twitter, how are you and your sockpuppets today?
