That's the risk of doing your manufacturing overseas, and sourcing overseas suppliers for components. BU doesn't have any way of bringing the patent litigation against a company with no US representation, so they get to go after the people bringing the infringing components into the country instead.
The trouble is if the device manufacturer doesn't have a US representation. Then the company that does the importing of the infringing goods is liable, in this case Amazon, Apple and Samsung.
But then he demonstrated that his intent was to harm the nation.
Really? Can you give an example of exactly how he did this? I'd say that running to a country that has the balls to stand up to the US, unlike Spain and France, demonstrated that he knew exactly what the government's reaction would be.
Which is precisely why it is being targeted at server farms: the cost of pulling up already-lain fibre in outdoor settings just isn't worth it, even with this additional capacity available.
Ignore the negativity,/. is just full of pessimists.
I played around with Gazebo/ROS last year, and I really like what I saw. Unfortunately I'm involved more in the embedded and integration side, so the stuff I do doesn't have enough processing power to make use of ROS. However, using Gazebo as a modelling tool for testing different robot configurations is awesome!
Exactly the same thing. They primed the 'illegal' part of the question by asking first if it was a threat to national security. It's like asking, "Does the free internet enable paedophilia? Should it be tracked and censored?"
If they asked it as "Does WikiLeaks help keep our government in check by allowing a safe avenue for whistleblowers to anonymously release documents? Should it be illegal?" I'm guessing they would have very different answers.
How is Manning a traitor? He made an oath to uphold the constitution, and to protect it from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Snowden? What does this have to do with his ego? He's one guy, who gives a shit. No, the important facts here are that the US government is involved in SPYING ON ITS CITIZENS!!! Please, stop trying to derail the argument with stupid remarks about the person who happened to give us the information.
I'm not saying we should hero-worship Assange and Snowden. But we should certainly protect them from receiving the same treatment as Manning at the hands of the US government.
"It's almost as if a democrat is acting neo-conservative, and the people who used to call themselves democrats are having to re-evaluate their affiliations, while the people who supported republicans are trying to understand why they suddenly don't like the exact same behaviour they accepted from republicans."
Not only that, but the HUMA design of both the XB1 and the PS4 means that any games for those platforms ported across to PC should be easily able to take advantage of HUMA on AMD's APUs. This is something Intel and NVidia can't replicate because they don't have the combined powerful CPU/GPU die to do it with.
By taking these contracts, AMD has basically guaranteed that all next-gen PC ports will take advantage of the latest graphics feature which neither of their competitors can use. A cheap AMD APU will be capable of running games that only a powerful Intel CPU coupled with a latency-inducing external graphics card will be able to match. NVidia particularly I see being killed off here, unless they do a major push to mobile.
The entire point of firmware being upgradable is that it is... well... upgradable. Not only that, but different versions of firmware may be required for different versions of software. This way it is much easier to ensure compatibility, because the driver has the firmware baked into it.
The most successful kickstarter campaigns have been ones where you get a 'reward' - basically, you pre-order your widget before it is designed. Those people who contribute to the kickstarter will have to bear the costs of R&D on their own, because once it is released other companies will be able to clone it. Thus, people will be less likely to contribute to kickstarters, because it will be more expensive. Thus, impeding innovation.

Occam's razor says otherwise. I suspect that they are so arrogant that they thought nobody would ever come after them like this...
His lies were big because the promises he made (and didn't fulfil) were big.
The problem is that GTK3 has utilities which are names the same as GTK2, so you can't have both installed at the same time.
A massive trade war will work out just fine for everybody. And think of how smooth all of the massive IT transitions will go across Europe.
More Linux development. Awesome.
You know they are rehabilitating Stalin, right?
OK, now you're just sounding stupid.

So why, then, did he choose to go into exile rather than accept the consequences and justify his actions in court?
You mean like Bradley Manning did?
Does that answer your question?

My version of LibreOffice has this (4.0.3.3).
Menu --> View --> Print Layout toggles the behaviour.
No, but you typically only get paid *after* you work. So, at first at least, it means going twice as long without any income.

Generally, the equipment on the end is the shoelace and the cable is the shoe. How much do you think it costs to lay a mile of fibre?

Strawman. What has Wikileaks ever done that has *actually* affected the US anti-Taliban operations?
Wikileaks is "abusive and secretive"? Sheesh, do you have a chip on your shoulder or something? Who have they abused? What are they keeping secret?
Got a citation for that? And, since their identities are known, I'm guessing you can tell me who they are?

Let me FTFY:
"It's almost as if a democrat is acting neo-conservative, and the people who used to call themselves democrats are having to re-evaluate their affiliations, while the people who supported republicans are trying to understand why they suddenly don't like the exact same behaviour they accepted from republicans."
So you think having an informed populace is a bad thing?
I assume you're talking about the video that shows Reuters cameramen being mowed down by a US military helicopter?

Personally, I'm excited about HUMA and what it will mean for scientific computing. The second half of this year will be exciting!
