Absurdly wide desktop screens are fine, because you can just make them larger, and treat them as multiple page-sized screens when needed; but laptops have space constraints to deal with...
So if you're concerned about space constraints you realize that while a 4:3 screen saves about 6% in width it is also nearly 13% taller, right? You are basically just adding space in another direction and not really saving anything.
How is this more reliable? How do they even know what the downloads would have been? You can't just take 2 data points, interpolate between them and claim a figure without there being huge margins of error. He is quite right in stating this is bullshit.
The HHS can't ban the insurance companies from paying for abortions. Also, states have been blocking funding for and putting up roadocks in the way of women getting abortions for decades before "Obamacare". Stop FUDing.
Like several states have recently attempted to do, Romney made reference during the GOP primary to eliminating government funds from Planned Parenthood, who is the nation's largest abortion provider.
effectively does the same thing by limiting access.
Yes, when you chop out part of the sentence it makes it easy to criticize as seeming to contradict itself. They said they don't rely on "software fallback implementations of OpenGL". You're supposed to read to the end of the sentence.
Yeah that had me cracking up. $230 million in profit off of $3.8 billion in revenue hardly sounds "massive" at all. That actually looks pretty terrible.
And by "a lot of people" you mean a couple of percent of all users? Gamers are a niche minority of all Windows users. Pissing of enterprise users will cause a lot of people to switch. Steam for Linux will be a tiny bump even if all users switched, which they won't.
Also, if Windows is such a disaster why don't they drop support for it entirely instead of posturing? Oh right, because Windows will still make up the vast bulk, aka 90+% of sales. And, no, the Humble Bundle figures don't change this.
Which is why the article mentions, but glosses over during their tirade, that other polls have shown 62% support on a similar question to the general population. That the difference is only 10% from a biased sampling is quite interesting.
Or because of the biased sample the percentage is higher than the general population which was 62% in its support. But that clearly couldn't be the explanation. *rolls eyes*
No, first-to-file has no bearing on prior art. You realize that the rest of the world uses first-to-file systems and prior art is used in the same way to reject and invalidate patents, right? No not likely. To know that you'd need a clue.
Well, you know, except that "first-to-file" has fuck all to do with your complaint Obviosness, prior art, etc. still apply when it comes to determining patentability. "First-to-file" has to do with who gets awarded a patent if multiple, independemt parties seek to patent the same idea. In fact, the act that made the US patent system match the rest of the wod in the previous respect actually made what could be considered prior art to reject a patent more broad. But you would actually have to know anything about the system ti have known this rather than repeating stupid shit you saw other idiots say.
It was more than web tracking. They were logging and retransmitting in plaintext people's username/passwords, credit card info, social security numbers, etc. this is stuff they didn't disclose they were logging.

There's this thing called DPI scaling. Been around for ages.
No.
And yet that wasn't why Microsoft won. They won based on a license grant given to them in a contract signed with Apple.
Because all their patents are long expired and thus have no standing to sue?
Oh my god an app store?! That's like the worst offenses against humanity ever!
It has no exclusivity software patents. You can be sued at any time by anyone for many thousands of different reasons.
So then just like how the RIAA has sales data points pre and post-Napster (or insert any other demonized P2P service), right?
Because they don't have 90%+ of the PC marketshare?

They don't need to overturn it when:

They make it up by their higher profit first-party games and licensing fees from third-party developers.
Except that China can just ramp back up and glut the market again.

62% of the US general population support the same thing as the question here. So the results aren't that far off considering the biased sample.
Then don't hire a lawyer on contingency if you don't like their terms. No one forces these people to sign the contract with the lawyer.
