You can't patent math, but you can patent a process that applies it.
In other words, if you come up with a theorem, you can't prevent me from coming up with a new theorem that uses or requires your theorem.
But you can patent any new process for converting matter or data into other matter or data that depends on the truth of that theorem. If my theorem includes your theorem (rather than just requiring it to be true to prove mine is true), then I would owe you royalties because any process derived from my theorem would have to include processes derived from your theorem.
The trick is to determine all the processes dependent on your theorem and claiming them before prior art undercuts you.
E.g., you can't patent 1+1=2, but you sure could patent the abacus, and everything that works like an abacus, if you'd been there.
Google still does a totally amazing thing in as-good-as zero time.
The essence of hacker coding culture is not giving a damn what everyone else is doing and doing things your way anyway, unfriendliness be damned and ignored.
No indication that anything in that pic is TEMPEST rated. Just looks like a lot of rubber around what may be a fat bundle of skinny little wires.
Besides which, there are no safety standards for military gear; at least, not as such. Military aircraft don't have to follow the standards that the FAA specifies for commercial aircraft (DO-178B, DO-254, etc.)
The question here is, okay, so what? They measured ERP for a few PEDs. Does that signal have any way to be coupled to the actual equipment they're worried about, and are the frequencies emitted at all compatible? Because if they are, then not only does the FAA have a big problem on its hands, but the FCC has a metric assload of explaining to do.
No, it means NBC is making videos about government policy on copyright.
If the government didn't pay for it, the government doesn't own it, which means it's not public property.
If it was somehow not in line with government policy, there might be a point here, but it is in line with government policy, so this entire article is a troll.
If its message is in line with the government's policy, then it doesn't matter who made it or who owns it. It's government policy information in a PSA. If you didn't have to pay for it, then that's a bonus.
You're just pissed because you want to steal copyrighted material.
You have about 9 seconds until that's no longer true. Bitcoin is money. You don't have a right to create your own money. Once the feds decide in-game* money is interfering with IRL money, they will ban and/or regulate it, then tax it**.
* - I'd say "online" but most cash is now electronic and therefore online.
** - before anyone goes there: it's a myth that barter is not taxable. any profit on barter constitutes taxable income. that dude that traded-up from a paper-clip to a house could have ended up owing tens of $K in aggregate. valuation on barter is fluffy, but any sale where IRL cash is involved, or published estimate of IRL cash value, determines value as far as the IRS is concerned, even for things with 0 intrinsic value, like art or Tarnished Bastard Swords.
You are very ignorant of history, and of the purpose of referring to it. All of those old technologies were once new. We tend to come up with new technologies rather readily when pressed, and sometimes when just fucking around.
Them, too. But GE knew 40 years ago what they were building, and didn't give a shit, and probably still doesn't, except where someone in government has pointed and said "fix that or we won't let you sell one of these ever again".
I wasn't using MS Project as a requirement of the PMP exam. I was using it as a placeholder for the word "ass" as in "find his own ass with both hands". I.e., it didn't matter if he could legitimately claim to have been in a job that had experience in the field, because there was no correlation between his claim and his ability, even after he took the courses and passed the test.

At best, he's lost the plot.

Says who?
I call bullshit. There isn't one TEMPEST shielded item on any commercial aircraft.
The FAA certification for such things is worded such that the equipment has to be operable in an environment with up to a certain amount of noise.
The gist of the story is that a lot of common devices can blow right past that amount of noise.
Most EE programs have a course, or five, in "Electromagnetism".
How could anyone on the internet tell you anything? You're anonymous. We have no way to get the information to you.

If it grows enough it becomes statistical evidence.
The question is, how many crashes do you want before you'll believe a correlation exists?
You are, and you're only doing it because you're pwned.

If you don't know what PSA means when government communications are the context, then you're a stupid cunt.
If its message is in line with the government's policy, then it doesn't matter who made it or who owns it. It's government policy information in a PSA. If you didn't have to pay for it, then that's a bonus.

Does putting the checkpoint out on the road constitute "publishing" it?
I say it does.
We have that. It's called the Internet. You should DL it.

Immelt is on Obama's jobs panel. Obama is, legally, Immelt's boss. Who owns whom again?

If only they had major consequences for those who benefitted the most.
