It's irrelevant because what Android does or does not do has exactly nothing to do with whether a patent claim makes sense when refering to a temporary cache.
Why would I bother looking up some details about a product I don't care about to explain something that makes no sense anyway?
The claim was basically "That monthly ongoing cost is not just the cost of the plan alone - it also includes a repayment for the handset, though the exact breakdown isn't revealed."
But that's not the case. There is no payment for the handset included in the monthly ongoing cost. Because if you buy the plan without getting a new phone you still pay the exact same price.
Sure in reality they are just making more money from people who bring their own phone, but when you are talking about the retail price there is no difference.
I agree it's stupid, but that doesn't make the claim any more valid.
A phone is pretty useless without service. And sure if they actually charged a lower plan fee if you bought the phone outright then you would have a point. But (in the market those prices are relevant to) they don't so there isn't one.
After all they stil haven't done development studies on every chemical used in the production of paint and carpet and wood finishes. Better safe than sorry!
Oh and almost none of us have "scene a 3D movie", maybe James Cameron could have called setting up a shot in Avatar that I guess.
I'm sure Nintendo gives a shit, that you won't be buying a gane console designed for an older age group then your kid.
The wine makers must be trembling in their boots to, whenever you walk past thebottle shop which won't sell their product to not just 6 year olds but 17 year olds.
There's still an M rating in his proposal. So how does it not increase gradually?
Was Australian society really so bad in 1992 when we didn't have a MA15+ rating at all? Were we protecting the children until a magical age just by having a slightly less fine-grained rating system?
Of course it would do something meaningful. Things are refused classification because they don't fit into any of the buckets. Clearly there are things that will fit into R18 but do nt fit into MA15+. Hence less things will be redused classification.
Now while some things will still be refused classification, you can't call that doing nothing meaningful. Every single mainstream game that has been refused classfiication in Australia would instead be classified R18+ (if it was resubmitted, etc).
Things don't have to be made perfect in order to be meaningfully improved.
I'm pretty sure they don't sell Apples. Trademarking your recording company Apple is fine. Trademarking your computer company Apple is fine. Trademarking your stand that sells fruit "Apple Store" and hence not letting anyone else who sells apples call them self an "Apple Store" isn't (well ok, shouldn't be, who knows what the courts will decide...)
Under W the yuan moved from 8.27 per USD to 6.84 per USD or a rise of 21%.
Under Obama it's moved from 6.84 to 6.53 or a rise of 5%.
of course Obama has had less time, but it wasn't unpegged until mid-2005 and the highest rate of increase was during W's time.
And of course this isn't really the Yuan slowly rising, it's the dollar falling. Since Obama's been in, sure the Yuan has risen against the US Dollar. But it's fallen aginst the Aussie Dollar, it's fallen against the Euro, it's fallen against the Japanese Yen. It's fallen against the British Pound. And so on and so on. Making your own currency fall is trivial, just print more of it (see QE1 and QE2).
Yeah because forum trolls often file bugs. And in fact most forums even have a place to file a bug report.
And why would it be doing detection. Instead of clicking "ban" you click "misery". Now said troll will be slowed down in their trolling for a little while instead of instantly creating a new user and continuing at full speed.
It's not an approach I think will be too useful, but it's not a completely stupid idea.
Owning US Debt is never going to be the same as the owning the US. The US will just print it and send over the worthless digital paper. Now that would be a very unpleasant experience for Americans and also unpleasant for the Chinese (though less so).
Pegging, well psuedo-pegging, their currency isn't really a dirty money game. The US controls half that game and could stop it overnight too.
But then hash(pw,salt1) is both stored and transmitted, and hash(pw,salt1) is the only thing needed to know in order to authenticate which makes it exactly equivelant to the password. So you are storing the password in the clear, and you are transmitting it in the clear too.
So you've reduced the security of the local system (now someone who obtained the hashed passwords can authenticate with them directly). That seems a remarkably stupid idea.
Rant and rave about shitty their website is with all the damn flashing advertisements at the top of the screen. If enough people do this, then google might actually take a look instead of ignoring the idiot user complaining about the non-existant.
Then given google is an advertising company they are likely to send the lawyers to stop said ISP from messing with their bread and butter.

That's the point.
It's all natural (like the arsenic and lead I put on my breakfast), how can it possibly be bad?

How is that the opposite of what he wants?

Except apps was used by others long before Apple used it to refer to things running on their iphones/ipadsd/iwhatevers.
Here's "app" used to refer to computer software in 1989: http://books.google.com/books?id=uTAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT83#v=onepage&q&f=false
"Java App" (as opposed to an applet) was a common term back when I did java, here's one such usage from 1999: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/1999-07/01-qa-applet.html
And "Apple Store" is fine for Apple to trademark. But it applies to a technology store and not to a fruit store.
I'm pretty sure they don't sell Apples. Trademarking your recording company Apple is fine. Trademarking your computer company Apple is fine. Trademarking your stand that sells fruit "Apple Store" and hence not letting anyone else who sells apples call them self an "Apple Store" isn't (well ok, shouldn't be, who knows what the courts will decide...)
It's about a 2 day old court filing. You have a very strange definition of "really old".
No it's done by ICE which doesn't make it any less criminal. Hence why they keep seizing domains and replacing them with http://74.81.170.110/

She is, do you have a point?
Congrats on the new dumbest ever post to slashdot. Doubt it'll last long, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Communist is a subset of control freaks - there are plenty of control freak systems that are not communism.
And you can't be stupid enough to not know that.

Fallout 3? Seriously? Did you start playing games in 2010?

That's completely irrelevent to anything being discussed.
