The energy needed to make paper from trees are larger then the energy needed by reusing old paper so that process will create alot more CO2.
The owner of the land will plant new trees independently if paper are recycled or not. There are other uses of trees then for paper and the need for paper is increasing in this computerised world since many 'cant read' from the screen and insist of printing it into paper.
Bank has given loans that when payed back they can pay all their customers. Bank don't tell customers that they have all money they owe in an account that can be payed out directly if all customers wants that.
Full Tilt poker did that but had alot less money then they owed. Full tilt poker was basically bankrupt while telling their customers that all their money was safe.
Whether I'm a commercial user or not... why would I - or anyone - ever want web visitors to be able to grab the SQL username and password I'm using in the back end?
Are saying that people actually write username and password in the source code ?
Thats a no no.
Use a configuration file containing secret information so you can protect it. Don't hardcode parameters that might change. Put the SQL information needed in a configuration file that you read before opening the database. Then its easy to change database, username and password if you need to.
Its a design patent - the only thing needed to get it is to fill in the forms correctly and paying the fee. Nothing was made to ensure that the design in any way was a) new b) unique c) not described by a existing design patent. All those precautions are presumed those that apply for the design patents already has done so no need for EU to do that to. The rest the courts have to deal with.
Given Moores law a crypto attack will get double the speed about every 2 years so it was known from the start that AES had a limited time to be secure. It was just a matter of time until the crypte lenght become too short given the CPU power you can add to break it.
So this means that we just have to upgrade to a new krypto about 4 years earlier then if it had not been found for it to still be safe.
Given that there are no recipient - this is a draft for an email that was never sent.
So its nothing more then a private note written by one person.
As for the damages the 100 million figure was for the whole java plattform - given that this is only for a couple of patent in the java plattform the final figure should be significant less then that given that the patents is only a small portion of the java plattform. Its looks like this will become another case where the only winner will be the lawyers since they will probably end up getting more money then the lawsuit will bring in.
Actually its a very good deal. The number quoted above is from 2009 so its old. Spotify is from same country that gave you Pirate bay - Sweden.
Here in Sweden the musicians income from Spotify was about 1/3 of the musicians income from selling their music. So from beeing a small sum 2009 they 2010 got a huge sum of money from Spotify and if this trends continues Spotify may become the major source of income from selling their music. This trend will be the same in other countries too when spotify gets established.
Fileshareing music is down - they listen on spotify instead.
I wonder what would have happend had the music bosses accepter napsters offer to do the same 10 year earlier.
The Patent office generates it's income by approving patents, it major cost comes from rejecting inappropriate patents.
I've always wondered why it aint the other way around. If someone comes up with a patent and its rejected. Should not they pay more for wasting the patent office time ?
Linux wanted have his own UNIX-like computor. Buying a VAX to run Berkeley Software Distribution was at that time not afforable for a mere student and you also had to have an AT&T license for them. The 386 BSD was released after Linux was started; Linux was started in '91 and BSD 386 came out '92.
Also you had the large lawsuit regarding BSD in '92 which slowed the development for BSD versions for 2 years. Since then BSD systems more or less has been playing catch up with the more capable Linux system.
Had the BSD for 386 been released earlier and has not the big lawsuit stopped the distribution of BSD for 2 years that Linux would probably not been much more then a hobby project that become abandoned when something better came along. But instead Linux become the #1 UNIX-like operating system of choice.
Just a few of the companies being sued by Microsoft. Most companies don't wanna get sued by Microsoft - so they often settle. But Microsoft will sue if they don't get their way.
Since you already knows how to do it on a *nix computer I advice you to:
1. Buy a Slackware Linux 13.37 CD 2. Install Slackware on your windows computer. 3. Do as you did when doing automation on a Linux computer. 4. Profit from your old knowledge !
Companies that trade between those countries will probably start to use national currencies. Because when they get their money they want to invest them in their local economy. However since these countries - for now - represent a small part of the world economy in trade, it will not be a big problem for the dollar.
I wonder if BRICS had not done this had not the US given BRICS the finger in WIPO and started the ACTA treaty outside WIPO ?
That's not strange. That is because the support don't know anything about the product.
The support person is only following a script and asks you the questions one at a time and then follow the arrow to the next box.
You will get more help if you just google the error message you are getting.
And its cheaper too.
The company could have just published those guidelines to follow so that people could do the fault searching themselves but then they can't get payed steep for support.
They just want to find persons in California that has payed to his account so they can say that he got connections to California so the case can be tried there.
But early in they then dumped the linux distro called Maemo they had put on the N900 and merged it with Intels Moblin and that kinda stopped developers to make apps for the N900.
So they mishandled it and didn't had a long term plan for it.

Actually I think they only need to say just one world and that word could take them to Austrialia.
The word being "Walkabout"
|| Patent pools are incompatible with free/open source.
|I'm sorry, thats flat out false is most ways.
Actually its very true.
You, mine friend, need to learn how patent pools work and how it stops anyone from freely distribute the code using GPL.
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/stallman-mec-india.html
Given that GPL is the most used license for open source software - patent pools are very bad.

Actually the same thing happens if you do alot of friendly fire and kill players in your own team.
But then AAO is a game intended to be more realistic that most shooters.

Here are a couple articles describing some times when Microsoft has sued different companies over patents:
TomTom:

It was Anonymous that was using the german pirateparty etherpad server for their coordination.
The takedown was ordered from France... the police was not after the Pirateparty but Anonymous.

Its a dupe from an earlier submission that was not deemed fit to become a story
http://games.slashdot.org/submission/1543364/Roguelikes-The-Misnamed-Genre
So its actually someone writing a story and then spamming the slashdot submission to get it in here.
Sadly it's not better then the last time this sad story was submitted - can it please die - don't comment please.
So tell me, how many great works are done by people who do these things in their spare time?
Let me give three examples that all have changed the world:
All of them have been very beneficial for the world.
Trade is between companies not nations.
Companies that trade between those countries will probably start to use national currencies. Because when they get their money they want to invest them in their local economy. However since these countries - for now - represent a small part of the world economy in trade, it will not be a big problem for the dollar.
I wonder if BRICS had not done this had not the US given BRICS the finger in WIPO and started the ACTA treaty outside WIPO ?
No don't destroy the true native HTML 5 experience!
The native experience you can only feel while surfing the web with IE9 on Windows 7.
It basically is - just listen to Friday by Rebecca Black:

The cost of making music that the masses listen too are not very expensiv.
With 101 miljon viewers on youtube its a huge viral success that many 'commercial' artist can only dream about.

The company could have just published those guidelines to follow
so that people could do the fault searching themselves
but then they can't get payed steep for support.
They just want to find persons in California that has payed to his account so they can say that he got connections to California so the case can be tried there.
They did that. It's called the N900.
But early in they then dumped the linux distro called Maemo they had put on the N900 and merged it with Intels Moblin
and that kinda stopped developers to make apps for the N900.
So they mishandled it and didn't had a long term plan for it.
