Why doesn't Google oppose MS purchase of AOL patents? If it were the other way around, if Google were to try an buy AOL patents, msft and friends would be having a fit. Msft, apple, and oracle, would be screaming and crying about Google's monopoloy and so on. We know this because we have already seen it.
As is so often the case, Google products do a miserable job of working together. I constantly get that "Aw, snap" error when trying to use chrome on youtube.
I am using Lubuntu, that might have something to do with it.
How else could they find, and execute (by painful suspension hanging) people for such crimes as: witchcraft, apostacy, homosexuality, blasphemy, and crimes against chastity?
What could we expect from a country where woman are being stoned to death for adultury?
But, you are right. The ROI for patent scamming can be fantastic. But, be aware, even meritless cases, like the scox scam, can go on for ten years. And major tech companies can drop $100 million on a lawsuit without batting an eyelash.
To put it perspective, Apple earns about $14 billion a quarter. It's nothing for Apple to throw a few million dollars at a patent suit.
Want to show me where all aggrevated in rape in Sweden - or anywhere - is commited by Jews? Want to show me where Jews flew 747s into the WTC? Want to show me where Jews commited 7000 acts of terrorism in the last ten years.
Face reality. Muslims are problem. None of these problems are happening due to Jews.
May be worth mentioning, the recent school killings, in France, were done by a Muslim.
Same situation is happening in other European countries. For example, in Sweden, the number of aggrevated rape cases has skyrocketed right after Sweden's Muslim invasion. Practically all the cases of aggrevated rape are perpetuated by Muslims. Again, this is a fact, look it up.
The BBC usually refers to Muslims as "Asians." For the sake of "community cohesion" the BBC considers it best that the population does not know about all the Muslim crimes.
Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday March 20, @02:29PM > "Forbes reports that a middle school teacher in South Carolina has been placed on administrative leave for reading sci-fi classic Ender's Game to his students. According to blogger Tod Kelly, '[A parent] reported him to the school district complained that the book was pornographic; that same parent also asked the local police to file criminal charges against the teacher. As of today, the police have not yet decided whether or not to file charges (which is probably a good sign that they won't). The school district, however, appears to agree with the parent, is considering firing the teacher and will be eliminating the book from the school.'"
So this mommy thinks Ender's Game is pornographic, and the bible isn't? Isn't that the sort of thing that Mr. Spock will say to computers to make the computers explode?
God will save us from climate change: U.S. Representative > U.S. Representative John Shimkus, possible future chairman of the Congressional committee that deals with energy and its attendant environmental concerns, believes that climate change should not concern us since God has already promised not to destroy the Earth.
Pastor introducing Rick Santorum: America a Christian nation:
> "This nation was founded as a Christian nation...there's only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words. [...] If you don't love America and you don't like the way we do things, I've got one thing to say -- Get out! We don't worship Buddha. I said we don't worship Buddha. We don't worship Mohammed. We don't worship Allah. We worship God. We worship God's son Jesus Christ."
God will save us from climate change: U.S. Representative
U.S. Representative John Shimkus, possible future chairman of the Congressional committee that deals with energy and its attendant environmental concerns, believes that climate change should not concern us since God has already promised not to destroy the Earth.
Shimkus, an evangelical Christian and a Republican member of the House from Illinois, on Tuesday signalled his desire to become chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The Energy and Commerce committee is among the most powerful in the U.S. Congress, with a wide-ranging purview over legislation touching on energy policy, environmental initiatives and public health.
Shimkus already serves on the committee. During a hearing in 2009, he dismissed the dangers of climate change and the warnings of the scientific community by quoting the Bible.
First, he noted God’s post-Flood promise to Noah in Genesis 8:21-22.
“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though all inclinations of his heart are evil from childhood and never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
“As long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.”
“I believe that’s the infallible word of God, and that’s the way it’s going to be for his creation,” Shimkus said.
Then he quoted Matthew 24:31.
“And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds from one end of the heavens to the other.”
“The Earth will end only when God declares it’s time to be over. Man will not destroy this Earth. This Earth will not be destroyed by a Flood,” Shimkus asserted. “I do believe that God’s word is infallible, unchanging, perfect.”
Following the Republican wave in the recent Congressional elections, the committee will shift from Democratic to Republican leadership.
On Tuesday, Shimkus sent a letter to his colleagues burnishing his credentials by saying he is “uniquely qualified among a group of talented contenders to lead the Energy and Commerce Committee.”
with space stations at the top of both elevators, I suppose the trip could be made easier. Much less fuel would be required, since you do not have to break earth's atmosphere, or much of earth's gavity. Landing on Mars would be a non-issue, since you would just have to dock the space station at the end of the Mars space elevator.
Not sure about that time frame.
Just a random thought, I'm not sure if that would actually work.

It's a dirty little secret that the media does not like to talk about.
Simply put, offshore workers are much cheaper. Expect to be forced to train your H-1B replacement.
Happens to me anyway, and I know I'm not alone.
As is so often the case, Google products do a miserable job of working together. I constantly get that "Aw, snap" error when trying to use chrome on youtube.
I am using Lubuntu, that might have something to do with it.
He made a lot of money. Does not matter if you are a total scumbag, if you make money, you are revered. It's the American way.
I wonder if the film will protray Steve Jobs as an idea theif, and patent troll? Or would that be too accurate?
Innocent or guilty, Zimmerman has to hang. Do it now and get it over with.
Lots of problems with the Fire: limited storage, no bluetooth, slow web browser, no camera.
A lot of people are telling me that Americans are too stupid, and lazy, for high tech.
The post I was responding to, has the following subject line: "Patents are pretty irrelevant here."
How else could they find, and execute (by painful suspension hanging) people for such crimes as: witchcraft, apostacy, homosexuality, blasphemy, and crimes against chastity?
What could we expect from a country where woman are being stoned to death for adultury?

How could Google have "violoated" F/OSS code?
The case was obviously meritless from day one.
To this day, scox has not produced any evidence, and the courts are okay with that.
If our legal was not FUBAR, it would have gone like this:
scox: IBM stole our code and put it into Linux!!!!!
court: can you identify the code in question?
scox: absolutely not.
court: case dismissed.
It spite of Microsoft's smear campaign about Google, I don't think anybody is calling Google a patent scam aggressor.
As it is, patents have a fantastic ROI. How much has Apple profited by keeping Samsung off the market with Apple's "rounded corners" patent?
Patents allow you to turn $50K into $50 million. Where else can you get an ROI like that? Maybe lobbying.
You are 100% wrong.
Want to show me where all aggrevated in rape in Sweden - or anywhere - is commited by Jews? Want to show me where Jews flew 747s into the WTC? Want to show me where Jews commited 7000 acts of terrorism in the last ten years.
Face reality. Muslims are problem. None of these problems are happening due to Jews.
Why is it considered "bigotted" to cite facts? Everything I posted is factual, look it up.
Islam is insanely misogynistic. Read the Koran for instructions on how to beat your wife - oops, I mean wives.
I think that was Norway. Also, some argue that the killer is agnostic - although a "cultural Christian."
I think the killer, in the this case, (Brevivik?) is just insane, like the guy who Giffords.
For sure, the killer was not connected to any terrorist group.
Also, that was all of **one** case. There have been about 7000 terrorist attacks by Muslims over the last 10 years.
Norway and sweden, check for yourself.
Stop letting your contries be invaded by Muslims. I am sorry, but the fact is these terrorist acts are being done by Muslims.
Sweden, Norway, and the UK should also take note.
Parent post is verifiably true.
May be worth mentioning, the recent school killings, in France, were done by a Muslim.
Same situation is happening in other European countries. For example, in Sweden, the number of aggrevated rape cases has skyrocketed right after Sweden's Muslim invasion. Practically all the cases of aggrevated rape are perpetuated by Muslims. Again, this is a fact, look it up.
The BBC usually refers to Muslims as "Asians." For the sake of "community cohesion" the BBC considers it best that the population does not know about all the Muslim crimes.
Europe needs to smarten up.
