It's not hard to make a device compatible with USB mass storage.
It is hard. USB MS exposes the internal storage as a block device for the USB host to do with as it pleases. The device has to avoid using the filesystem it is exposing for the duration that it is plugged in to avoid corruption, and when unplugged it has to dump any media indexes and reindex everything, as it has no way of knowing what changed.
This is why modern Android devices are now MTP only. With MTP, file access is via high level commands that are implemented on the device, so the device can track and control what is going on.
Are you sure that $10 is going to the actual copyright holder, not the multinational corporation that holds the distribution rights? If it is, then I'm going to have to start pirating content to support the artists. Because that's a much better deal than they're getting under their current contracts.
Are you suggesting that the goals scored in BPL games are choreographed? Because otherwise there is no artistic element to their "performance" that could qualify for copyright protection.
Not being allowed to do something because of some Ts&Cs does not mean you are not entitled to your copyright. As you said, they can take civil action over your breaking of their rules, but they don't get to use copyright law for getting it taken down.
SMS is less limiting than Twitter. If you type more than 160 characters, most phones these days will automatically split into two messages, and at the other end recombine.
What contractual issue? I didn't sign any contract when I bought tickets to the match. I also didn't receive any consideration for the copyright I allegedly assigned in this contract they are talking about.
I'm not positive, but I think SEC regulations intended to protect old grannies' pensions from high risk schemes get in the way of what you are asking for. To make high risk venture capital investments you need to be an institutional investor or high net worth individual with experience in the field. Kickstarter avoids being an investment to get around this. Kickstarter makes sense for startups that never intend to grow beyond serving a hobbyist community, individual artists, craftsmen or engineers and the like. It is just greed to use it for starting a company that intends to grow to global scale and sell out like this.
If they're making hardware, they need to get bought out to fund the supply chain if they're going to be selling in quantity. In the traditional funding model, the early investors in a company are well rewarded for their backing when something like this happens. In the kickstarter model, they're lucky if they get a sample of the product 2 years late.
I had a lab-dashound cross (no idea how that happened - we got him from the pound). He was only a little bigger than a pure dashound, but had the bark of a fully grown lab. Someone tried to burgle our house one night and got the fright of their life as the sound of a large dog came at them from below their line of sight.
Google Chrome has become as bad as IE in terms of hidden settings, or settings that are just not there. In Opera and Firefox, I have no issues accessing numerous networks. I can change network settings on the fly and have different settings for different browsers. With Chrome and IE I need a new browser installation everywhere, because Chrome either uses no settings or IE settings. Being able to set proxies and network settings in an add on browser is an important feature for testing.
IE at least has proxy support that works. Chrome is singularly terrible in this respect. Try using a proxy script with a file URL, pointing to an authenticated proxy and move between networks without closing the browser (Chrome now keeps a process running in the background even if you closed all your Windows, so difficult to avoid), and you'll see what I mean.
He is trying to build up a company from nothing to compete with the big 3 in just a few years. Having rumors of expensive repair bills looming at the end of the warranty period is not conducive to building market share, so this is nothing more than a sensible business decision (assuming only a small minority of drive units are actually failing).
In the early days IPv4 addresses were handed out in a way that kept routing tables simple, but some time about 10 or 15 years ago we started to run out of blocks that were in the right range, so started allocating them all over the place. It will take us several lifetimes to get to that stage with IPv6.
Either Versata agreed to abide by the GPL (in which case they're liable to damages to XimpleHelp for violating the contract but are not liable for copyright or patent infringement since they had a valid contract for them)
If they violated the contract, then they don't have a valid contract for anything.
The original author was distributing both GPL and commercially licensed copies, so a monetary value can very easily be attributed as damages in this case.
"How old were you when you lost your virginity?", Steve asked
If only the guy had made the decision to ditch the interview a few questions earlier and given an answer that made Steve feel like the dick he was being: Well, I was about 6 when he started coming into my room at night...but I guess I didn't technically lose my virginity until later, when was it?... [starts rocking in chair and flinching as he thinks harder]...
The correct response, if you care enough, is to follow up by pointing out where their interpretation falls short.
So they follow up in academic journals which noone reads about the shortcomings of a NYT bestseller which misused their research. Somehow I'm seeing that the "whiny letter" approach is a lot more effective at getting the message out to the people who are actually reading this book and taking for granted the claims of academic research quoted within.
This is a bit like that guy who opened your garage door through the neighbor's insecure WiFi last week. Oh wait, no that doesn't happen in practice either.
Thank you for your contribution, but if you'd been paying attention, you would have realized that we are looking for ways it could have been done better here.
Worse, it looks like C/Java/whatever, and even references Java in its name. But it is nothing like those languages unless you restrict yourself to a very limited subset.
Does voting in EU parliamentary elections disqualify you from British Parliamentary elections? Why should having a vote in Epping Forest elections disqualify you from being appointed by your employer to vote in City of London elections?
City of London is a "democracy project" of what your fascist "democracy" will look like.
Right, because having the 7000 odd 1%ers who actually live in the City dictate to the 330,000 who work there during the day would be so much more democratic.

Football is only a performance when the match has been choreographed beforehand. Are the BPL admitting to large scale match fixing here?

A notable absense of a certain recently hyped technology in Cisco's list of things they need to refocus on.

Apple doesn't just hire computer science and technical graduates.

Most car thefts are of non-descript cars for use in committing crimes.
