    That is precisely why so many police departments have the view that recording a police officer (on duty, in a public place) is or should be illegal.

    No one would be blocking the sale; they would just be taking all the value out.

    I can practically see the froth from here. You need real help.

    Linus doesn't want his, or any kernel developers' hands tied when it comes to changing the kernel. He doesn't break userspace. That's his hard and fast rule. If you don't like his rule, fork the kernel and freeze the driver ABI. The fact that no one has done so, including Red Hat, IBM or Dell, should tell you that it really isn't important enough to anyone that matters.

    Iran is not a democracy. You are being sarcastic, but still, what you suggest cannot happen.

    Dropbox et al. keep local copies. You only need a network connection for syncing. Dropbox can even sync over the lan, if both machines can see each other. I don't know if they need a connection to Dropbox to coordinate, though.

    I refuse to develop for more than one platform. I do the platform that I own. Send me an Android or BB phone and maybe I'll develop for you too. But given your tone, I doubt it.

    iOS apps can be a mix of C, C++, and Objective-C. I don't think it has only one runtime. And what exactly does Windows RT come with? C, C++, .Net and what?

    The Airport Extreme allows multiple SSIDs. Not only that, it has multiple antennas so your guest network doesn't have to share the same spectrum.

    You're obviously a stupid shit.

    The status of DEC is not based on opinion. The corporation no longer exists.

  16. Re:Patent Law? on Surfcast Sues Microsoft Over Tile Patent · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the patent is valid and not expired, it can be enforced. It does not matter when you become aware of the violation, nor how much time has elapsed between awareness and filing of a suit.

    Not to mention, but how exactly do you enumerate all the things your app doesn't do?

    The US may be a bully, but realistically your Government is a piece shit wimp if it felt "forced" to create such a law. Kind of like its citizens, apparently.

  23. Re:How refreshing on IBM Reports Carbon Nanotube Chip Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    You aren't really logical at all. SSD and HD (as in spinning media) are different technologies, with the former allowing for much greater speeds of data access. SATA vs ATA [sic] is just a change in interface. Both SSD and HDD can use the either, though I am not aware of any SSDs using (P)ATA.

    LCD panels allow for smaller displays. They use less energy. You can fit one anywhere. Today's phones have better resolution than the desktop of 10 years ago. Try that with a CRT.

    Being able to burn optical media was a huge deal. Before that, the most standard method of data interchange on physical media was the floppy. Just because it's (mostly) obsolete today has no bearing on its historical importance. That comment of yours is just you being a shithead.
