  1. Re:Pillage and Plunder! on Microsoft Patents 1826 Choropleth Map Technique · · Score: 2

    You do realize that the whole rest of the world is on a first-to-file system for patents already, right? theodp is an idiot an a troll who doesn't understand what the "first-to-invent" and "first-to-file" part even means. It's about when there are patent applications from two parties for the same idea. It has nothing to do with prior art.

  2. Re:First-to-file isn't a problem on Microsoft Patents 1826 Choropleth Map Technique · · Score: 2

    Yeah because first-to-invent has really stopped all those megacorps from getting tons of patents, right?

    Yes, them releasing better info would answer all. They won't do so since the current average serves their agenda. Anything that would serve to downplay that would be hidden.

    You'll never see those because it would destroy the Humble Bundle people's propaganda. I bet with the outliers removed that the Linux average would be much lower.

    That's because all the things you want are power hungry and heavy.

    Because that would make sense?

    Who actually buys Wjndows separately? The cost of Winnows when bought with an OEM system is effectively free due to the discounts and money made by installing crapware in the system.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    Ksenzov said the proposal is tied to the Internet restriction law that comes into effect Nov. 1, allowing the government to block Web pages that fit the law’s definition of material harmful to child welfare.

  9. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Russian Officials Consider Ban On Wi-Fi Use For Kids · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The harm is the same as why the Chinese government censors the Internet. They can get access to "bad" information.

    That was actually just timothy's inserted commentary. The "editors" wrongfully think they are insightful.

    Go straight to the teleco with your rubber-stamped warrant. Hell, the warrant part can probably skipped since the telecos are little lapdogs.

    Yes and the person was whining specifically about their products not being ported to some niche OSes. That was what I responded, too. Yes, you are correct as well.

  13. No, that's pretty unshocking. Documentation takes time to write. It'll get more comprehensive with time.

    Really? A brand new website is not as comprehensive as one that has been around for 13 years? Shocking!!

    Yes, they are referring to operating systems that are actually relevant to the average computer user. The operating systems vying for the last .01% of market share are hardly of note.

    Bowman should win and this is exactly how intellectual property will work when patents and copyrights are eliminated.

    Yeah and that'll happen around the same time pigs start sprouting wings and flying.

    So you've never heard of Comcast, Verizon, or AT&T? They've been constantly expanding their IPv6 rollouts since late 2011. Time Warner has been running trials as well.

  20. Yeah because the corporate bureaucrats in the insurance companies are clearly non-biased when it comes to health care decisions.

    Yes actually people do need jobs that bad. Many people who do not overspend beyond their means or rack up lots of debt still only just barely get by from paycheck to paycheck.

    It's cute that you think that was their reason for opposing rather than the lobbyist money.

  23. Re:How is this possible on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 2

    When many people live in states with no right to work the employer can easily let you go and make up a reason to get you denied unemployment. So people will just give in rather than risking termination and having to fight for benefits. People rail on about the 'evil' unions, but the balance of power is hugely against the employee.

    Care givers also routinely run errands for the person they are caring for which may require leaving the house. Being disabled does not mean needing to be waited on hand and foot.
