On the other hand, there is such a thing as a Design Patent, and if you make something that looks like someone else's design, you have to honor the patent until it runs out. That's how the patent system works, and the law. Don't like it? Get it changed. There's ways to do that, too.
It didn't say "top secret". It just said sensitive security info. What's significant gold to a h4xx0r may be gibberish to some, or mundane to those who requested it.
The number with a taste for it is enormous. The number who don't know they can be disciplined for using the ship's internet connection to obtain it is closer to 1.
In other news, Navy ships have internet connections. Not gob-smacking, but pretty cool.
Actually, it can. The problem is that Google's default model ships the data up to its server farm to be indexed. Having our whole server shipped up to their server, encrypted or not, gave our IT security guys a hernia.
Selling it in pieces doesn't work. As you said, only AT&T would want the technology by itself. But the equipment is far less valuable than the long list of paying customers. And the customers would want to keep using the same equipment.
But that would violate the principle tenet of real-time: making the data show up where it's needed at the time it's needed.
If you can't render the frames at the speed they're displayed (24 or 30 fps), you're non-real time.
Video cards cheat by varying the frame rate and making things onscreen move proportional distances. They're real-time in terms of interrelationship of objects in their internal 3-D space, but they make the human watch it through a choppy window. If they've got more processing power than they need, they jack up the frame rate just to make it look better. Which has made the framerate a good benchmark.
Unless they punt entirely and things just slow down in the game and onscreen.
Investment is spending a lot now to get a little back over time.
It may not improve grades, but it may improve costs, as the shuffling of paper is an expense for everyone.
It will definitely improve kids' grasp of computing, which will be a far more necessary skill than dealing with paper.
In fact, if all it does is teach kids they don't have to print things out to read them, the benefit will follow them into their jobs, and save money for the entire business world.
Next: install email and messaging programs and teach them they don't have to fly everywhere to communicate.
Really? You're getting hundreds of dollars in ROI from something anyone could get at a library 20 years ago?
I think you're getting a little bit of extra convenience, and think enough of yourself that not having to open a notebook lid is a "value" greater than any other utility to which you could have put the few hundred extra dollars you spent.
That distortion of self-worth and the economic value of money is also part of the conditioning I mentioned.

I would've thought by now we'd be pissed that the people on Ganymede were running an unobtainium cartel and driving up the price of telekinesis.
But, it's still Germans. And not one flying car.

Ever read a patent application? Ever research the long list of cited patents in every one?
Innovation is nothing but copying and adding a dot.
Did they say anything about how it feels? Maybe if they'd ignored feel in the first place they'd have put Microsoft out of business in 1994.

They reported in their findings the emails sent to people who didn't pay.
Note the absence of any mention of pr0n or affairs.
They will if I squat on Slashdot.Com at the right time...

two things about it, though:
1. getting all of the typo-domains near your trademark can be expensive or impossible
2. if any are legitimate, you're just going to have to negotiate with them for what to do with missent emails
19.9 Gig was pr0n, lolcats, and "Undeliverable Message" replies.
The Chinese are preparing a mission to an asteroid to bring it back to mine it for Bitcoins.
A likely endgame. Leave it to the shareholders to suck up the losses.
But I doubt T-Mobile is a loser. I think DT is just doing the math wrong somehow.

But then you wouldn't be driven to the cloud. They've got an ROI to maintain.
I'd like to have Google's desktop search at work, but as it's Not Invented Here, it's considered a Security Risk.
Pretty sure the CIO owns an assload of MSFT, as well.

It's a unit that functions only as a unit.
T-mobile is better than Sprint (ultra-shitty coverage) or AT&T (nothing at all worth having), but not much different from Verizon.
They do have the hottest spokesmodel, though.
Chief Shystering Officer.
A company like T-mobile doesn't "go out of business." It goes bankrupt, and either reorganizes itself or is sold to whoever will take it on.
While Sprint would prefer if competitors just dried up and blew away, it will accept that they don't merge together to become unbeatable competitors.
But that would violate the principle tenet of real-time: making the data show up where it's needed at the time it's needed.

Wow. You really do have a thin skin and no sense of reason. And not a little touch of paranoia.
From TFA: "the space, which will be overgrown with foliage, will be a respite from the heat and the sun and cooler than surrounding areas."
Which will be warmer because of the heat and the sun reflected from the shiny building...
