Did anyone ever figure out how the fuck beast worked in the first place? Last I heard it's some javascript that apparently magically appears in the browser and does some stuff which lets a sniffer figure out some of the cookies. If they're running arbitrary code on the server or the client (the PoC used a java bug to violate same-origin and rather than just submitting the cookie variable to the evil server like everyone else, they ran the exploit to calculate the cookie), then I think block-chaining is the least of everyone's worries.
I'm guessing that it's still worth fixing since whatever the script does, someone may inadvertently do it by hand while a bad guy is watching.
when the image is being dragged in response to the location inputs and the system detects that the velocity with which the image is being dragged exceeds a threshold velocity, the system responds by removing the image from the display without leaving any representative thereof in the display
2-6 are all variations of 1. Claim 7 states:
when the point being touched is being continually moved and the system detects that the velocity at which the point is moving exceeds a predetermined threshold velocity, the image being continually moved is removed from the screen without leaving any representative thereof on the screen.
8-14 are all variations of 7. 15 states
the computer responding to a continuing touch that moves the image across the touch screen such that when the computer detects that the velocity of the touch exceeds a predetermined threshold
16 and 17 are variations on 15.
If you do not use the velocity of the touch to decide whether something is removed from the screen or not, you do not infringe on the patent as stated. It remains to be seen whether this guy can sucker some jury with a Doctrine of Equivalents story.
They have merged it with a game to calibrate it to your usage. After you've typed all the letters of the alphabet several times each, it'll know how your wrists twist to get your thumbs to all the keys of whatever keyboard you're using, whether it's physical or onscreen.
All this said I know Excel is generally robust (though I've had problems interacting with charts from different versions, and cell colouring in different versions). In my experience it is a lot faster and stable than Open Office / Libre Office.
I've never had it crash, but Excel 2010 has graphical glitches out the wazoo when it opens documents in "safe" mode: columns that don't scroll, clicking cells sometimes highlights them permanently, screen "tearing" while scrolling, etc. They all go away when I tell it to reopen the document for editing, but I have to wonder how safe the mode is...
These days they probably wouldn't. They'd be too chickenshit to stand up to the company militia when they threaten to gun down their wives and children.
determining, by the client device, a displayable set of the other user avatars associated with the client device display; and displaying, on the client device display, the displayable set of the other user avatars associated with the client device display
What's interesting is in that very same claim, the server already removed avatars:
wherein the client device does not receive position information of at least some avatars that fail to satisfy a participant condition imposed on avatars displayable on a client device display of the client device;
So as long as the server removes all of the not-visible avatars or none of the not-visible avatars, it's not infringing. As far as "black box" though, I'd be tempted to guess that the server does some checks but not all... after all, WoW had all those warping loopholes people were using a while back so at least some processing of some kind is done client side. If WoW's server doesn't know where the user's avatar is actually standing, the best it could do is send all the avatars in the general area and the client figures out which it sees based on viewport direction.
I'd say that what turbotax etc is great for is telling you is WHICH forms you have to fill out.
For a couple of decades I didn't bother with any software and did everything by pencil and copied the result in ink and mailed it in. This meant filling in all the different worksheets and calculations, only to find out that I don't qualify for form 123XYZ or the AMT doesn't apply. This took 4-5 hours.
I went to turbotax's website the other day and by going step by step and answering the questions I finished my taxes in about 2 hours. It could have been cut down even further by asking more questions up front ("did you sell any stock? No? Then you don't have to worry about half this crap on gains and losses") and then following through on those questions by not making me go through pages of questions about alimony, child support, etc. etc when I told them I was single and had no kids up front.
wouldn't matter much if people weren't so lazy and uninterested as to reduce national politics to a stupid sporting event.
Hey now, we work hard to make sure the guy who will vote the right way on abortion makes it into office. Freedoms? Wars? Deficits? That's all unimportant crap.
The intent of the founders was to have a rainbow and unicorn filled utopia where bunnies hopped gaily through the meadows and nobody would ever so much as think of violating the supreme law of the land, as evidenced by the fact that there is absolutely no mechanism in the consitution to punish or even fix violations of it, and the SCOTUS had to take over that last part on their own.
the majority literally found the right to abortion within another right to privacy that itself isn't explicity written in the Constitution
Except for the amendment that says there are other rights not explicitly written in the Constitution. The founders clearly did not intend there to be a master list of rights, but they neglected to bother to specify how one decides what is and isn't a right. So the SCOTUS took over that too.

Sounds like a plan to m.... waaaaait a minute.
Remove the power of government to create and protect fictional "people".

Can anyone name an international issue or conflict that was resolved by sanctions?
Any day now, Fidel Castro will see the light!
Aaaaaaaany day now.
How is a broken retail model related to terrorism?
I hear that when you buy a new game, the counter-terrorists win.

Or did they just kick over all the racks and rip everything out like they seem to do on a regular basis?
That would attract businesses by the droves I'd think...so, no loopholes, no corporate taxes
Except they're doing just fine with 0% US taxes by keeping the money all offshore with their employees. Why should they bring that money back into the country to hire more expensive employees that are going to demand enough pay to buy a house for their family instead of living 20 to a dirt hut or sleeping in a company cot in the barracks?
it's good enough that so far nobody's thought it's worth the effort to write a new SSL library from scratch.
Except for GNU's gnutls, but they did it because their only problem with openssl it is that it's BSD licensed.
entropic pregnancy
That's ECTOPIC. I don't know what entropic pregnancy would be but I'd assume it hastens the heat death of the universe.
Both clearly want the same thing; more spending, more debt, more rules.
But one promises to vote the way I want on abortion, and that's all that really matters!
Sadly, this is probably true, but at least some of us nerds will have clicked it. And possibly even RTFA'd.
Because trade unions will never arise
These days they probably wouldn't. They'd be too chickenshit to stand up to the company militia when they threaten to gun down their wives and children.
you're the one who's alluding to japanese porn, I thin that the the Parent and Grandparent to yours are making lovecraftian references.
Best of both worlds (aka "LOL Japan"): Haiyore! Nyarko-san.
why should two different apps that probably have two totally different delivery mechanisms
What, one greases their bytes so they slide over the network easier?

Which is exactly what I said.
Which is why what you said was the most retarded second response to the first post.

So what's the point?
Judging from my credit card history, dental x-rays are for around $150.
Doctors aren't the only ones getting paid big bucks for doing so many so-called "defensive" tests.

Non-Open-SSH has been able to require multiple authentication stages for some time now. Every now and then someone updates a patch for OpenSSH to do the same.
just make up a new damn word for government marriages
Civil unions.
