My el-cheapo microwave says on the box that it has 1500 watts of cooking power. Wifi stuff works over a couple of watts.
I see those numbers and I'm not surprised that the one can bother the other, but I don't have the EM smarts to know how easy it would be to shield the microwave enough to get the emissions down to (the equivalent of) a watt or two.
No. You have your computer connected to an open network and configured to respond to reasonably well formed semi-anonymous requests. The idea that the response is subject to a contract is just ridiculous.
Yeah, there was a large university in my nearby town. The congestion was frequently horrible (and it at least seemed to be on the network, not between the stick and the tower).
Is there even much law around putting things in the public domain?
I mean, a statement repudiating interest in a work is going to work against any claims of damage, but is it well established that a grant to the public domain actually works?
A motherboard or uefi vendor can a have a system giving the user the full ability to control the feature (a hardware switch, the ability to install new keys, etc), or they can only install Microsoft's keys and lock the user out. So it really matters what the actual practice ends up being, and it isn't at all clear what is going to happen.
It doesn't seem that likely to me that the various hardware vendors will shoot themselves in the feet by locking to Microsoft here (Microsoft won't bother with incentives, they are smart enough to know that won't fly with regulators).
I used a Virgin Mobile usb stick (Virgin is just a Sprint brand at this point), back in January it got saturated lots of evenings, in a somewhat rural area (but close enough to a medium size city).
The only scientists that believe the world is flat are in 3rd grade.
Seriously, Greek thinkers had the shape of the planet figured out thousands of years ago, and if you look just a tiny little bit, you find out that Columbus was underestimating the size of the planet, not defying some grand convention about the shape of it.
Does Amazon actually send you stuff you don't want? All I get from them are order and shipping confirmations, perhaps I clicked something about not sending me advertisements.
I bet most of the volume comes from people trading blocks of shares worth tens of thousands of dollars, people that don't care at all about whether the price of each share is big or small.
It's nuts to think that all those vendors would bother to bend over and do exactly what Microsoft might say (I haven't seen it clearly stated that Microsoft is planning on restricting the logo program to computers that are locked to their software, rather than computers supporting the code signing).
I am perfectly aware that Apple is getting the bad guy props.
The question is, why would an individual choose such an emotionally loaded way to relate to a legal battle between giant multinational corporations, a legal battle that results from a patent system that has not kept up with the times, a legal battle where both sides of the action are evidence of the breakage?
How do you pick the bully when you are discussing enormous multinational consumer electronics companies using the legal system to try to disrupt their competitors?

Uh-huh. Where are you going to get the 20-odd MJ needed to heat the water 70 degrees or so?
Uh, it is (relatively) easy to have a working fusion reactor. The big problem is that it consumes energy rather than producing it.

It probably doesn't even say exactly that on the box.
Doesn't Target do cash back?

Right, because no one has neighbors in close proximity or anything silly like that.

Satire?
What are you talking about?

Or Opera...
Your tone (in the other comment) sort of implied that you didn't appreciate the messages, so I did wonder why you wouldn't shut them off.

Those are just normal entries.
Imagine if Amazon were to begin marketing things.

There is a difference between avoiding taxes and tax evasion.
For instance, putting money in a Roth IRA avoids taxes on any income those investments earn.

Why pick sides at all in a patent battle between multinational legal fictions?
I guess it is okay to hope for a citizen friendly outcome.
I addressed all that in the second paragraph.
It's nuts to think that all those vendors would bother to bend over and do exactly what Microsoft might say (I haven't seen it clearly stated that Microsoft is planning on restricting the logo program to computers that are locked to their software, rather than computers supporting the code signing).
Yeah, I get that, I'm trying to point out that it is stupid.
