Can't all the companies get out of it by pointing out that Hypermedia is a meaningless word, and that they don't do anything with Hypermedia documents or Hypermedia methods?:)
So, you believe that Jeff Foxworthy shouldn't be on TV, that any joke that makes fun of someone shouldn't exist, and that you are the ultimate arbiter of humor?
Sorry, I can't swallow that. Humor is an individual thing, and MANY people still find that joke hilarious. Get over yourself.
All that matters is where the electoral college votes went. Popular vote is not required in the US, and as soon as the electoral college votes, it is all over. If you believe anything else, you don't understand the presidential election procedures of the USA.
Has that suit been definitively won yet though? I don't think that it has, as I have only seen the back and forth, but no end of the suit. But even precluding Star Trek's PADDs and other scifi goodness, Samsung themselves have been using that design for years before the iPad was "invented", or that patent was applied for; they should surely be able to beat that stupid lawsuit. My Samsung TV from 6 years ago uses the exact same design, and I am sure you have heard of the photo frame that uses the same design.
I kind of had a problem with the summary title as well, but for different reasons. The world wide web is not the internet. Can we please stop using the terms interchangeably? There is much more to the internet than web sites, and the guy isn't even claiming to have invented web sites, he is claiming to have invented interactive web sites. He may have genuinely been the first to do this, but I highly doubt that, as there had to of been search engines back in 93.
Unfortunately, as the MAFIA keeps shutting down the sites that were being used legally due to the people using it legally, us in the US will have to continue to move to overseas systems to do it. When Bittorrent is illegal, how will we get the latest WOW update, or download the most recent Linux distros. This is why we called SOPA censorship, the media industry thinks that if a thing is used to share music that it must be shut down, and they are completely blinded to the legitimate uses for the service which they are killing.
I received it on my Moto Droid X in an update like 6 months ago. It allows sharing of music and pictures; and I believe video, but am not sure; over a wireless (generally due to higher speed) network.
It is believed that this colony of trees which are actually a part of one organism (they all have same underground root system) is about 80.000 years old!
I cannot conceive of this...that thing is ancient.
If it is a license, they have to replace it if it gets damaged, and if the DRM servers go down, they would have to remove the DRM for you as well. I think we should all be asking for replacement CDs for all the damaged CDs we've had over the years. 1-2$ for a replacement sounds fair:)

The Basic Benefit and Social Security parts of FERS require you to pay your share each pay period. Your agency withholds the cost of the Basic Benefit and Social Security from your pay as payroll deductions. Your agency pays its part too. Then, after you retire, you receive annuity payments each month for the rest of your life.
The TSP part of FERS is an account that your agency automatically sets up for you. Each pay period your agency deposits into your account amount equal to 1% of the basic pay you earn for the pay period. You can also make your own contributions to your TSP account and your agency will also make a matching contribution. These contributions are tax-deferred. The Thrift Savings Plan is administered by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
OMG how dare they pay into their own retirement plan, and get some matching from the org they work for...Just like the commercial sector. I think that you might have read more into FERS than is actually there:)
Which also shows the problems with the existing legislation. How many videos have you seen on Youtube that infringe copyright in one way or another? But yet Youtube survives even though Megaupload didn't do anything different, except maybe ignore DCMA notices (which I believe I read somewhere they had and used a takedown procedure, but were smacked down anyways).
Copyrighted music, copyrighted game, no consent from all parties for recording. This is the stuff that these industries hate, but I would be willing to bet, that if the person who put that up fought the DCMA notice, they would win, on fair use grounds alone.

I'm sorry, I have the patent on monetary transactions, please send me all your money, and we will call it even.
They support patents used by them, but are dead set against patents being used against them. That has been pretty consistent. :)

A method for a Corporation to support Politicians using:
Slam Ads
Campaign Contributions
Offering jobs to politicians after retirement from politics
Buying food for said politician
Gifts to politician
Please, someone, Please apply for this patent, and lets put a stop to it for however long it takes to get the law changed :)

Already done; at least on Android.

$55 a month, unlimited. Yes, truphone is raping you if you use them as an USian.
If you have an unlocked iPhone (which you would to use truphone) Why wouldn't you just buy a local SIM when traveling?
Unlimited detention is less than another charge? I suppose if you are facing the death penalty...

I guess they should sue Apple next, as you copy from the computer hard drive to the hard drive or flash contained in an iPod/Phone. We're all pirates!

How does that match up with Megaupload? They also had take down links and did takedowns, but they are now shut down too.
So, if it is against the law in Sweden, can you please refer to the relevant statute?
Unfortunately the vast majority of us don't get to vote for the corporaticrasy, just the politicians who are all bought off.
In Quake3 it is called the railgun...

This is just like a 401k, but for the gov. It is not anything like a pension, as the org's contribution is while the employee is employed, not after.
