I agree with Judge Koh that the limited infringement doesn't warrant banning Samsung's products. OTOH, Both parties were time constrained, and Samsung didn't get some evidence of prior art submitted, and of course they weren't able to make detailed checks of the jurors. That seems unfair, particularly when the Juror in question seemed to pretty much be boasting about how he manipulated the other jurors.
Just because moderators thinks someone's spin on the issue is insightful and yours is not is no reason to be bitter. In my view, both companies will go on and make bucket loads of money and in general be pretty darn successful. If one company does start to go downhill, the maps issues will, at best, be considered at that point to have been an early indicator predicting the fall. No more.
./ discussions are like both sides in a CX debate--if you don't agree with "our" position on an issue, the result will always be Global Nuclear War.
If Apple makes a competing product to Office, such as iWork, couldn't MS claim antitrust behavior by Apple? Anyone who tries to make a competing software product would face a disadvantage in the added cost of Apple's cut for app sales that Apple itself doesn't face.
That's the point: You still have to tie the BT MAC to a car, which means a photo system if you want to issue speeding tickets. That means that you still need photos for identification and evidence, which renders the BT readers moot.
How about no? Federal and State excise taxes on fuel, tires, batteries and so on are much more accurate in proportioning the amount of tax to use (benefit) received. The bad part is that the revenue generated by those taxes usually get put into the general fund and may not all be used to build and maintain roads.
Exactly. By analogy, a vendor could be selling newspapers, kept behind a counter, where you could only read the headline for each article on the front page. To actually read the article, you'd have to buy the paper. Google is the vendor, allowing you to read an abstract of the linked page. In either case, just reading the headline/abstract and suing the vendor/search engine based on that is ridiculous.
Cops do a great job until you find them doing something corrupt, then YOU are doing a great job. Every citizen who loves the constitution should be ready to record any and all police activity by whatever means available.
Secretly? How about openly? I'd say that you'd better record secretly if you don't want to spend the night in jail and get hit with some BS resisting arrest charge or the like.
There are plenty of officers who don't like the idea of being recorded, and their reasoning varies from concerns about "Monday morning quarterbacking" to the sociopaths not wanting to get caught abusing their power. Still, if they can record us, we should be able to record them.
groklaw.net is a much better source of information about the Samsung/Apple legal mess. Slashdot referencing a Yahoo news article that's obviously done by someone who's clueless doesn't do the/. community any favors.
You have to wonder if the USPS has done a price demand elasticity analysis to determine if they're charging enough for junk mail. But since the government has to approve their rates, it would be difficult to bump the price up incrementally until they reach the maximum income.
Because the typical end user is stupid and forgets their password.
On a normal laptop, this means a bit of inconvenience.
On an encrypted laptop, this means a loss of all data.
You have to have solutions for this problem in place before you can roll it out.
No, a real IT department will have an admin account so that they can get into the machine and reset the lost password. That technique is not rocket science either.
I suspect that most people don't encrypt their home computers because 1) They don't know that they should do it. 2) They don't know how to do it. 3) They probably wouldn't set up a back up admin account for a forgotten password. 4) Consumer versions of XP and Vista don't have encryption built-in. Not sure about Win 7 and 8.
Just like the electric company measures your usage at the meter on your house, the measure of bits/bytes sent from the modem is the demarcation point. The electric company has to consider line losses as overhead; you have no control over that. Likewise, the consumer has no control over how efficient their ISP is regarding the efficiency of the system beyond the modem. It's overhead that the ISP must take into account as a cost of doing business, not tag individual customers for.
Truth be told, it's been so many years since geography/history classes, I'd major fail trying to correctly name/place all of the countries on a map of Europe. That, and back in my day the maps had labels in the oceans reading "thar be monsters" and other such stuff.
That's the only thing she didn't confuse. 1) PM, not president. 2) She, not he. 3) Atheist, not Christian. Paiute (550198) was joking about Australia/Austria.
The presumption is that they would hire someone who knows something about microprocessors. It looks like they may have that in P.A. Semi, which I was not aware of. I'm guessing that they are the ones who designed the A4, A5, and now A6 processors for Apple.

In an ideal society, your TV would be able to adjust the volume of the commercials at will with a little fancy programming.
Actually, some TVs claim to do this, including one that I own. I don't know how well it works, as I've never done a comparison.
Of course, this legislation does nothing for the one OTA station in my area that runs a much lower overall volume than the others.

Yes, they must all have been CX debaters: Vote for my side or it all ends in Global Nuclear War.
Aluminum bond wires are used extensively as well, and have been for many years.

In the US: CDs meant for audio recordings yes, DVDs and data CDs no.

Oops, that one's a cover band. Nevermind.
AC/DC have never released a compilation album.
TFA says there were three. Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Best-AC-DC-Top-Songs/dp/B004ASZXY6/ref=sr_1_22?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1353446380&sr=1-22&keywords=AC%2FDC

Actually, it should read "When you're deploying CPE..." CPE = Customer Premises Equipment. It's an acronym used by several telcos, not just Comcrap.

Good thing you still have the right to bare arms.
Canadians have the right to 'bare' arms. Americans have the right to bear arms.
