Yeah, I read the blog article after I commented and I'm still left wondering what the news is.
Is it that the Linux Foundation has found a way to make FOSS less risky? Important, but not front page news. I'd put that on page 2 or 3 of the business section if I were running a news paper.
I would suggest something more important as news, but I'm biased so I won't. As this comment states, the biggest "news" part of the article are the compliance tools.
I never said it is happening or would happen. Just that the government probably has enough dislike for us to want to do so (or even consider it) as a strategy for in the future.
No, but someone asked why the Chinese would do that. I was just giving one reason. The Chinese people might not hate us, but I'll bet you pennies to dollars their government does.
Complete hate for what America stands for? A desire to see America and Americans ground into the dust of absolute poverty? I imagine it depends on how sadistic the Chinese really are.
In the latter one, the taxpayers fund your stay. In the former, you have to fund your stay WHILE paying back what you owe. They were outlawed because people would never be able to get out of debtor's prison.
That does, but the way the submitter worded it was one of the following:
a) intentionally deceitful by the submitter, shame on that person in that case; b) wording copied from TFA whose author was intentionally deceitful, same on the author of the article; c) wording copied by the author from the patent application in which the submitter was being intentionally vague and broad in scope so as to have it considered to cover having servers on a ship as well as the capturing of wave energy for power, shame on the patent submitter
Of course there is another option:
d) all of the above
Either way, there is enough shame to go around (btw, I have not read The Fine Article).
Not so sure that's a concern. Modern ship-board systems don't seem to be affected that much more greatly (probably because proper precautions have been taken for those boxed in components).

Meh, move along, nothing here to see.
What's the story?
Someone else pointed out that it could be done, would just have to be slow so as to minimize damage to themselves.
Either, all of that is beyond the point of "Why".

totally awesome and true.
Only until China calls in the loan.
Plus, it's on slashdot, the home of technology nerds who love computers more than sex.
I think I'll pass.
Nope, no different that way either. ah well.
True, but the FTC doesn't seem to believe in civil asset seizure (much like DA's in drug cases do).
meaning, your tax dollars are spent on feeding, clothing, and giving immediate medical care to incarcerated felons.
I could burn through that much money just by having my dream home built.

oy.
The account wasn't attacked. It was an in-game happening that cost out-of-game money, apparently.
lol +1 funny if I had mod points (and hadn't posted to this submission). :D
Agreed, this stinks and is just one more reason to not watch Discovery Networks.

It would be easier to keep at a constant temperature, but that alone doesn't qualify it for a patent.

It's been a bit too long since I've used GPG, so I can't tell you what my settings were.
And even if they do (and I agree that they do), it's still not nearly as ground-breaking innovative as to require a patent.
Seriously? How is a server-farm in a ship innovative enough for a patent? Goodness.
I read the headline as "Skype Fails for IPO"
Reading fail.
