That's the whole point of the patents owned by the body - to ensure that implementations follow the guidelines of the standards body (particularly about compatibility.)
Bull. That was NEVER the point to patenting any parts of a standard. I don't know of any standards that are NOT being broken because of the threat of a patent lawsuit. I can't think of a single one. The point to adhering to a standard is so you have a checkbox on your datasheet. If it doesn't adhere, your customers complain, and they go to a different vendor.
You claim this is your field, but your assertion truly baffles (and enrages) me, unless you are trying to spin patents as "good" to people who watch patent games ruin standards efforts daily.
Further, the Toyota ETC lacks an important safety mechanism: if the customer presses both the throttle pedal and the brake pedal, then the ETC should give priority to the brake. The Toyota ETC gives priority to the throttle. How can Toyota engineers commit such a gross design mistake? Common sense tells us that the brake should receive priority.
When tuning my own ECU, this is the first thing I disabled. It makes left foot braking impossible.
Bottom line, we need better drivers, not cars for idiots.
Superfetch? You're kidding, right? Real VMs were doing this long before MS figured it out.
Unused RAM has always been used as disk cache in proper VMs. Only MS was stupid enough to need an *executable* (smartdrv.exe) to accomplish this most fundamental of tasks.
As long as others can copyright things, the public domain will always be susceptible to looting.
The appropriate fix is to choose a *license* that makes sense.
A computer is a general purpose machine, completely customizable by whoever has physical access to it. GPO is a stupid, ugly, misguided hack that can never be implemented in a way that guarantees what it claims to do (much like DRM) because of this.
There is absolutely no reason for any linux developer to waste even a moments thought on this deranged requirement.
You dont like it? Don't deploy *computers*. Deploy the equivalent of a thin terminal or diskless web client.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act does not cover publicly accessible URLs. It never has. Period.
And even if it did, like most amateur, wannabe, condescendingly annoying, psuedo legal eagles, you are confusing "rights" with the law. There are rights that we have that the legistlature and judicial system consistently and repeatedly ignore. To make matters worse, they do it because of ignorant, shortsighted, luddite fools just like you. You disgust me. There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with deeplinking a to a publically available URL.
Don't pretend for a minute that you know more about what is right and wrong than anybody here, let alone assume we are as completely ignorant of the law as you are.
Does it worry you that somebody reading your original post might assume that *you* feel you are Morally Supreme? That you feel you are a Rational Being of Wonder? That you feel that all that oppose you are Stupid and Evil?
Would you be upset if they made those assumptions about you, then told a friend how, when they "met" you, it reinforced their opinion that people that share your opinion are all like that?
You know, considering you are a member of a group of people that consider themselves "open minded" and all.
They are manufacturing a problem which does not exist (targeting potentially innocent victims), and demanding money to solve it. That is racketeering *and* extortion.
When the judge *specifically* tells you that you can't use his decision to threaten people, and you go ahead and do it anyway while demanding money, then yes, i'd say thats racketeering.
You can take my BSD licensed source code, make a binary from it, sell me the binary, then sue me for copyright infringement if I distribute your binary without your permission.
"What are the laws on government email retention?"
You'll have to look up the details, (particularly for the state of Alaska) yourself, but on the federal level "you must retain everything for a very long time" would be a simple summary.
Except if your administration needs to hide a bunch of incriminating emails. In which case, claim you are switching from one email system to the other, and that you accidentally lost a bunch of records because of it.
Their message board moderation is *fully* automated. It is easy to set up scripts and get posts AND accounts deleted simply by spamming their complaint page. There are no humans at the switch.

Profile data cannot be shared by multiple running instances.
"Technical Writer"
If you can't do html/css or xml/docbook, then you are an incompetent technical writer.
Because Tenenbaum's lawyer *royally* screwed up the appeal and failed to cite the most salient case law.
Thankfully, the FSF stepped in to fill in the gaps that were missed.
A computer is a general purpose machine, completely customizable by whoever has physical access to it. GPO is a stupid, ugly, misguided hack that can never be implemented in a way that guarantees what it claims to do (much like DRM) because of this.

I understand that corporations want this as a requirement. Its inherently impossible to get right, just like GPO is.
If, on the other hand, you only care to inconvenience your more clueless end users, no problem.
Please cite case law where the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act was used to prosecute a deep linker in a case not involving fraud.

Yes.

You know, considering you are a member of a group of people that consider themselves "open minded" and all.
Question is, are you morally supreme, a utterly rational being of wonder; all who oppose you are stupid and evil?
You are saying you've only met "conservatives"?

There's no reason every person on earth needs an IP. Nat+uPNP is perfectly capable and 100% backwords compatible.
Reminder: the port field is only 16 bits wide. Every single one of your NAT'ed sessions will be chewing into that space.
NAT is a horrible hack and is no substitute for having properly addressable machines.
Either live with your idiot bosses and stop complaining, or ditch that miserable excuse for an employer.
