Isn't that the norm? I know that the two places where I work require that the password is different from my last 12 and 36 passwords*, respectively. Otherwise, forcing users to change passwords make no sense (not that it does in the first place).
I might be mistaken about the numbers, but they are in that ballpark.
Doesn't seem to have any relation to the basic principle being patented - unless you're claiming that, after someone patented the wheel, I can come in and patent the use of wheel specifically on paved surfaces.
You can. Or, to use the example I have been taught, if you find a new use of a substance, you can patent that use, regardless of any patent one the substance. Your use have to be novel and non-obvious, of course, and you might not get much use of your patent for as long as the substance is under patent by someone else. They can't use it in the way you patented, though.
I apologize in advance if this is not at all relevant to the discussion, I have really not have enough coffee today.
The governments of the world have not had a very good track record in this regard either. We need some standards for how to deal with this, so we can have checks and balances, not the "some government official said so" scenario we seem to have today. Or we need to go to something like bitcoin.
Google might not be the most trustworthy party, but VISA trusting them would be a step up from the governments they trust to make those decisions now. However, it will probably end up being the worst of both worlds, i.e., if any government OR Google says that X is a bad guy, VISA will cut X off.
I hear the the difference between breeds of dogs when it comes to training is vast. Traditional sheepdogs breeds are much easier to train as sheepdogs than traditional hunting dogs. That indicates that at least some of the mental makeup is different, and that has come about in a much smaller time span than humans have existed for (though the dogs have been under a much larger selective pressure).
Or do you think that the general public will be truly satisfied with unending ads, unwanted porn popups, spam, and amateur cat videos?
We have at least three industries that, de facto, work without copyright today: Fashion, food and magic shows. There seems to be no shortcoming of cookbooks, even though anybody can copy all of the receipts. Fashion is more innovative than either books or films, simply because they have to, as anybody can copy them. Magic shows is a bit of a corner case, as professional courtesy helps reduce copying.
Based on those examples, I would argue that removing copyright in a industry is in no way certain to reduce innovation, and might even spur it.
The change was 45 percent. Some of that is chance, like the global spread of disease mentioned in the summary. Without other data points, we have no way of knowing if the effect of banning plastic bags is 0 percent or 30 percent. I have no idea how big it has to be for somebody to have noticed. Do we know that public health officials are not scratching their heads, trying to understand the sudden rise in food-borne disease that spreads over the western world?
My take on Flouride: There is a warning on the back of toothpaste that says "If ingested, seek IMMEDIATE medical assistance." Toothpaste with out Flouride? No such warning.
Toothpaste contains a lot more fluoride then water. The acute toxicity is certainly not a problem with drinking water, so the warning on toothpaste has very little relevance to fluoridated drinking water.
Also, realize that Flouride is a byproduct of Phosphate mining
Do you have any data to back that up? The effect could be subtle enough not to be picked up, especially when it was so unexpected. If it hasn't been tested, correlating bag use in Europe with food-borne disease would be an obvious test.
This only holds if you only get the rank from each voter. An election where each voter is allowed to vote for as many candidates as they like is not covered, so a fair voting system could exist.
The homepage describes it as having "a light coffee flavor", but now that you mention it, that is highly implausible. Most of the aroma compounds in coffee is a result of the roasting, so how in the world should a product of the flowers get that taste? Oh, well, I still have to try it.
What sibling post said about sugar, plus we stopped eating really coarse food. Eating hard roots will scrub bacterial plaque off your teeth. When we stopped eating as many raw, hard roots, we had to substitute that function with brushing, but it seems to be less efficient. Additionally, our jaws are far too short for the number for teeth we have, thus the problems of wisdom teeth, which also pushes the other teeth together, making the room between them harder to clean.
Apple cider vinegar mixed with any honey is a great basis for marinading meat. I will have to try and get some buckwheat honey, you make it sound amazing.
OMG, first result from googling the Danish phrase was a honey store with 40 different kinds of single flower honey. I HAVE to try coffee honey.
More that the quality (which is most assuredly is an issue) the material is a more important factor. Know any good ways to print copper plates, or cryostat vessels etc.
You can print casts in wax, and make lost wax casts. I don't know if you can casts bopper in them, wikipedia only mentions gold, silver, bronze and brass. However, unless you need very intricate geometries, I think traditional metalworking is better.
those that are plastic usually need to be very transparent and I don't imagine 3D printing will achieve anything like the clarity we need.
A single layer can be somewhat transparent (I printed this in clear blue PLA, and the wings are kind of transparent), but multiple layers are, at best, translucent. That might just be my expertise, of course, and I would imagine stereolithography being better at optics than extrusion, as the detail level is much better.
However, if anyone has a 3D printer and the time we do have detailed 3D models of the detector geometry that we use for simulations. There has already been a Lego model of ATLAS developed so, if you are up for a challenge, how about a 3D printed model of ATLAS? It would be great to have for outreach talks at high schools!
Do you have an 3D file of the ATLAS detector (preferably.stl)? I would love to try it, though I will probably botch it.
I just tried a quick googling, all I can find is organic farmers suing Monsanto. Do you have a link, or perhaps the name of one of the farmers who have been sued by Monsanto without knowingly benefiting from the GM trait?
This [...] does little to rehabilitate the world view of Brazil as a haven for the theft of intellectual property either.
Apparently, Gradiente Electronica made a product with the name iPhone in 2000. If Apple could stop them from using that name simply because Apple started making a phone by the same name later, THAT would have shown that Brazil was a have for intellectual property "theft", or, more correctly, trade mark infringement.
Because he did it for years, and started saving the seeds from the second growing in stead of buying from the grain elevator?
Can we make a Godwins law, part two? If you claim the other person is a payed shill, you lose? It's not like it's a argument for anything but that the person claiming it have no valid arguments left.
Think any of this is made up? You need to read the lawsuits and not Monsanto's propaganda.
Do enlighten me, I have tried to read up on the cases that people keep bringing forth, but every time I do so, I find that the farmer had sprayed the field with glyphosate to select the GMO seeds. Monsanto is not going after seed reuse, they are going after knowingly using their invention. But perhaps you have a link to a lawsuit where this is not the case?
The farmers doesn't see it as contamination. In fact, in all the cases I have found where Monsanto have sued, the farmers have sprayed the fields with glyphosate in order to select the "contamination".
No, lipophilic, non-degradable compounds accumulate in the food chain. The pesticides used today do not, we have actually learned something from DDT et al.

Ah, of course, I should have thought of that. Not enough coffee today. Thanks.

Just like HiFi is pronounced "hai-fi", and SciFi "sai-fi"?

How is a potential copyright dispute with Nokia relevant to a trademark dispute with Apple 12 years later?

You know, claiming that people are payed shills simply for quoting the facts of the case kind of makes it seem like you just lost the argument.

Monsanto doesn't sue over accidental contamination. That's an old myth.
It is not a myth, if you read above it has been shown that they do, and have lost cases to that fact.
Where? If have read through the thread, and I have found a lot of people claiming this, but no-one seems to have a source. Do you have one?
No, lipophilic, non-degradable compounds accumulate in the food chain. The pesticides used today do not, we have actually learned something from DDT et al.
