Err... think it is more an example than a real concern, just a poor one.
Alternate scenario.
You work for Company X, one of your friends from Uni is now a manager at company y (x's most fierce rival) and your boss is on your msn list... one day he sees that you are now friends with the manager at y. That's going to raise some concerns.
(Actually I'd guess i is probably x's most fierce rival - atleast in for loops)
Cobblers, I do some work on embedded small form factor devices. If this algo does what it is supposed to do as efficently as it says with just one trig op compared to 6 (or for Vincenty formula a small mountain of them) then I'll take it.
While laptops can to one degree or another be upraded they really lack the flexibility of a decent desktop case... Your computing needs change and you've got a cheep laptop its throw away and buy a new laptop, with a desktop you can upgrade alot easier the bits you need.
My desktop case is 5 years old, the cpu / motherboard 8 months, the 'main' drivers 10 months, the slower storage drivers god knows - couple of old ide drives I keep moving, the power supply 3 months old, graphics card 6 months. If I'd gone laptop route that would probably equate to two or three new laptops in the same period. So 3 laptop sales for probably 0 PC sales as I've only picked up components since I first built a PC.
They did sell you something: You own the cardboard box the printer came in and possibly, only possibly mind you, the actual plastic and metal the printer is made of... just don't expect to own the firmware, the drivers or any software bits.
Thank god for that - its not just me who found that summary 'odd'.
I know I've not had my morning coffee yet but can normally make some kind of sense of/. summaries without having to re-read thing several times. (And yes I gave up and jumped to the comments without reading the article.)
agree with that; left my old job after 7 years recently due to differences of opinion - till I'd left hadn't realised how much I'd started to hate going in - the only attraction with the group of people I worked with. Now I'm looking for a job and money is very tight I'm still happier without my old job.
Always assuming its not a false flag operation and Manning gets a sentance then once he's dropped out of public eye is returned to whichever TLA he belongs to.
Would be good way to destroy credibility in wikileaks if Manning supplied information that can later on be proved to either have cost American/NATO lives, damaging to other nations or just outright false.
Does highlight one other thing if Manning is guilty- the DoD vetting procedures for people in sensitive positions is somewhat lacking.
"Microsoft relies on security through obscurity, which for some people isn't obscure at all."
Security through obscurity is no kind of security at all...
"...some foreign investor..."
So only foreign hackers hack MS products? What ever pair of rose tinted glasses you are wearing when you view your own countrymen (I'd guess American) I'd remove.
And the commentary is even more incomprehensible if you do play the game... wtf these player 'experts' came from is beyond me and anyone I know in-game...
Take a good long look at both the US and the UK with some the decisions of our courts in the name of the 'war on terror'; look at the cctv in the uk which has lip readers watching - George Orwell in 1984 was spot on - just a 26 or so years out.
Apart from that isn't one of the ten commandements though shall not worship false idols (and I recall something about craven images but as I'm Pagan I know the bible to know my enemy and so don't have perfect recall - hell without coffee can't even recall what day/month/year/planet/solar system this is... think its 66/6/-/hell/gone to one in handbasket)
With any form of navigation software (try coding coordinate transforms without a maths background), any form of signal filtering, any accounting type programming, any statistical analysis, any audio / graphics processing etc etc etc.

Nah, Seagate have too many patents and experience in that market place ;)

Just because you have no practical use for it doesn't mean there isn't one.

Yup; the governments should really get round to regulating political figures - the world might not end up going to hell in a handcart quite as fast ,)

Hm, my netbook + car charger + linux + aircrack-ng does just that.
My archos media player can do likewise.
How can you patent this crap?
Yup; the ironic thing is I've used this signature on /. for years - you win a prize for being the first person to spot the missing word.
(I've got sig display turned off so never spotted it myself either)
Since when is 'dust' a unit of size?

Was going to say just that - I can probably find several dozen oss sites that are just as up to date / live.
If the device is not certified to operate to Israelli (I suspect in this instance that equates to the EU) spec then in theory yes it will apply.
This is mostly a hardware patent...
Isn't OOXML, you know kind of, XML like rather than a binary standard???
