Well, the FRAND patents are for actual technological innovations, whereas Apple's patents are only for generic fluff. Apple wants to freeload on others R&D while monopolising obvious ideas.
Yes, but you still don't know anything about copyright law, and the U.S. has in fact enacted the Berne Convention since 1989. You don't have to repeat all that to prove, once again, that you know nothing about U.S. copyright law. Idiot.
Most politicians lie and break many of the promises they make. Few of them get killed. An armed populace isn't a significant deterrent, although chest-thumping morons will claim otherwise.
Wrong. It's because people have the vote. Being honest won't get them (re-)elected (and breaking their promises won't get them shot, and have little impact on their electability). The EU commissioners have no such democratic problem.
Are you sure about that? Under the Berne Convention, copyright is automatic, and is the original creator's exclusive right of copying. It shouldn't matter whether it's intended for publication or not.
That might be true for exceptionally poorly programmed versions of proprietary software, but neither ATI nor nvidia target specific distros with their drivers, they target a couple of revisions of the X server's ABI (and a few more for the kernel, which is a simpler task), and current distros pretty much all use the latest available at the time of release (minus one or two for Debian Stable). You're making it at least 100x more complicated than it really is.
Sure. A metaphor draws on the likeness of two things, actions, or ideas, to say something about one using expressions more conventionally suited for the other. The expression 'practising without a licence' is usually used in the medical profession, where in fact one does need a licence, which takes a bit of education and expertise to acquire. There, practising without a licence would mean you're passing yourself off as something you're not, most likely defrauding your customers in the process (and potentially harming them).
64 cores is supported because it uses the NT kernel. Once you pass 300 PPI, however, there isn't all that much value in adding more pixels for a screen that's at best used to show photos and film. Perhaps if you use your phone for CAD or medical imaging or something, but you don't and you won't, ever. It's just not something anyone should care about.
Why would you want more than 1280x720 on a mobile phone? It's enough to get a very high ppi on a 5" device like the Galaxy Note. As for SMP, the old WP7 was just WinCE with a Silverlight front-end. This one is based on NT.
It looks like a decent OS. By all credible accounts, WP7 was a decent OS if you disregarded everything that wasn't its UI (which is to say it is a good UI on a crap OS), whereas this thing looks like it might be pretty damn good. I'd actually consider a Nokia PureView WP8 phone with a decent screen.
Just too bad for the few who actually bought WP7 devices and won't get upgrades to WP8 at all, with no backwards compatibility for apps not recompiled for WP7.
A lot of people (unconsciously or not) still feel threatened by the Amiga. It's interesting to see how the revisionism of history and denial of the Amiga's existence and what it represented evolves, if it were only not for these pesky hobbyists who are still hacking at it. After all, you cannot learn from history if it's not even there to learn from...
No, not denial of the Amiga's existence. People just want to forget about the annoying cult that made Apple evangelists seem like resonable people in comparison.

Thanks. But if you don't have a clue about copyright law, why state your inane bullshit as facts?
No, there's a new version of Skype out now.
Very funny. As if you need any of that for a room in your mother's basement.

"Ultimately", it may cost him nothing. Initially, it might be too expensive to fight.

Although it's not exactly Shakespeare, it doesn't need explanation to people outside of the autism spectrum.
It's a metaphor. You wouldn't understand.
Then you're an idiot. There are people to take advantage of that, of course, but the technology isn't there yet, and won't be in a while.

Well, you're not going to get 1080p resolution on a 5" device the next couple of years, so WP8 will be fine with 1280x720.

Horseshit. If this was their system of laws, then surely it must have been put to use before Assange. Strangely, it hasn't.
It didn't block your comment, though.
Yes, but bread-baking machines : self-baking bread :: your mom : self-making bed.
Yeah, I first read the headline as 'Self-baking bread'. That would be something. Plus, make it emo, so it will cut itself.
Yes, but I don't think those users would compile OSSv4 to get around ALSA and PulseAudio's failures.

It depends on kernel mode setting. There's nothing Wayland depends on that can't be implemented by FreeBSD.
