Well the courts wouldn't make that stance at all. And I don't really understand why you would think that they would. Bethesda does not have the trademark to "Spells" regardless of what Notch might be willing to trade it for (unless he trades it of course). The case that you brought up is irrelevant since there never was a ruling or even an indication of a ruling. He probably settled since they promised to pay his legal fees, something that they wouldn't be forced to do if they lost the case so if he had won he would have to pay thousands of dollars in legal fees and he probably didn't think that the domain was worth it.
After a quick review of the Mike Row Soft case, it's quite clear that the strategy from Microsoft was to make this a cybersquatting case. Such a case meant that they argued that he only registered the domain in order to extort money from Microsoft. This very same argument cannot be done for the Elder Scrolls vs Scrolls trademarks.
Courts don't work that way, i.e Bethesda wouldn't win a trademark suit bases upon how much Notch wants or needs the "Scrolls" trademark. What happened to Mike Row Soft I don't know but since he settled out of court we will never know how the court would have ruled.
Because when the government wants to snoop on a site they of course doesn't want the site to be encrypted with SSL so in that case they simply send you a phony cert and sign it with their root CA so your browser accepts it (if we let governments be the root CA:s). Granted, there are probably some NSA undercover organization on all browsers root CA list today, but still.
Why screen them if you still have to trust them with flying that plane, or the big bomb that you speak of. If the pilot is compromised and will deliberately crash the plane, no screening in the world will prevent that anyway. As passengers we are at the mercy of the pilot. And honestly, a scenario where the terrorists can convince a pilot to become a suicide bomber or infiltrate the airline is a movie plot and not the reality. Probably planes will not be used for terrorist actions again.
It didn't "turn out", the zones are described that way in their document as being in the same facility. However you can select other geographic zones such as US, EU and Asia. They are most certainly not in the same facility:-)
What makes Apple come after you is less interesting than what they _can_ get after you for, i.e what the law says. Apple Inc might be a so generic name that they would actually loose their trademark if they did go to court, note how all their trademark cases have been settled out of court. Microsoft was about to loose their trademark of Windows when they sued Lindows, another famous settlement. And here in Sweden Microsoft lost a trademark case against "Excel Data".
Have you requested your phone manufacturer for the source to the version of Android that they installed for you? Because that is the only obligation they have in regards to have it open source. If you are asking for the source to a version you are not even using (most likely since we are talking about 3.0 here) then they have no obligation what so ever to give you the source.
It could however open up new security holes. What today is a simple DOS (sending a packet that makes your software loop for ever) could now possible be turned into an exploit since the loop is terminated with whatever status it has now (which the attacker knows since he can play with the same software).
Not necessarily, say that your loop is the inside to strchr(), then your loop invariant is your return value and it will not point to a nice place in memory after having looped over a 64-bit space for a few hours or what the threshold of this technology is.
You don't need to use computing intense algos like RSA, since this is data send over the air and not typed in by the user you simply can use a 256-bit nonce and reply which is encrypted with AES or simply hashed with SHA-256.
You see the value in the slider when you enter what you want to pay. If you're asking for the average tip they get then that is not available, and one cannot calculate it either since every one can change the slider and give them more or less.
Apparently he was not contracted as a sculptor. Lucas seams to have bought the helmets as props from this guy, and that makes the copyright belong to him and not Lucas.
Seriously I don't really think that they answer what they truly believe themselves, they are competing so they probably gives the answer that they think that the audience wants to hear. Which is probably why they mostly tries to give both sides equal weight so not to upset anybody.
This is not about some android-servers, this is about the android phone storing the password unencrypted locally on the phone. Which it must do since it otherwise cannot use it to authenticate with the e-mail provider.
>Suddenly the Windows pseudo-standard of CompanyName -> Application Name makes a little more sense.
Well yes, but only for this special case, for everything else that system is completely broken, who in their right mind locates their software based on who made it. The old Gnome2 way of breaking down the menu structure by category was imho the best system there ever was, all non-computer people that I have met have never had a problem with that while they struggle to find the right application on Windows.
It could of course be that way but according to the police themselves it has more to do with the fact that instead of performing "old school detective work" they rely on the DNA and mobile phone searches to do the work and if no one turns up then it's like "we tried everything and no one could be found so case closed". That is they have shifted focus on how they approach cases.
And then there is a secondary effect in that they have made the criminals better at what they do. Since DNA become mainstream, the criminal gangs no longer uses domestic hit men but instead have contracts with gangs from other countries that come here and do the dirty work (and then our domestic hit men get contracts in those other countries), this way they circumvent the DNA register completely. That however will most probably be seen as a rounding error in the statistics due to the extremely low amount of contract killings over here (we have only about 70-80 murders a year in total
And what exactly would that solve? It's not like they steal the car and park it at home until it's crime time. You either steal the car just before the crime (so it won't be reported stolen before you commit the crime [you don't want to be stopped by the police of course]) or you steal the car the night before and stash it at some location that is far away from your home. I seriously doubt that this car tracking will solve any major crimes more than todays detective work does.
Actually there is data that point to such schemes beeing negative for the clearing rate. Here in Sweden for example the clearing rate for the top 10% of murders (that is because in 90% of the murders there is a known subject, only about 10% has an unsub. Something that is labelled as "reconnaissance murder") has gone down from about 75% to about 40% since the police started to use DNA and mobile phone tracking (where they empty the cellular towers to get a list of which phones that where active in the area at the time of the murder).

He doesn't have to speak out loud.
Because only Apple filed, Samsung wasn't allowed to file anything so they couldn't.
data-loss? Are you saying that FF3 makes your Internet disintegrate?

An yet several companies have the word apple in them...

That you have a right to see them does not necessary mean that this site has the right to show them.

Where did you get that stupid idea from (that they are more secure)? You do understand that they have to store their passwords in plain-text aswell?
