Did she work for him? Everything I read said she was just a student and had never met him. I haven't read that much, though, so I could be wrong.
And a lot of these things she didn't even put on the internet. Go to a site like Spokeo.com and put in your name. I know I didn't put my house value on the internet but yet there it is.
There are very few companies who don't use some Oracle product - whether it is their database, their eBusiness Suite, Hyperion, or Java. People don't realize how much they are impacted by Oracle.
Copyrights benefit society by giving a creator exclusive rights to profit from his work therefore encouraging him to create more.
"Greedy publishers" didn't even really exist as we know them today. Whoever had access to a printing press was essentially a publisher. Big conglomerates like today didn't exist.
You have a gross misunderstanding of how networks work.
Let me rephrase my question then. Since there are no countries in the world still using "real money" and the US was actually one of the last to switch from gold-backed currency what exactly do you expect to happen? Do you really see the entire world switching back to a gold standard? Do you really plan on going to the store and paying in gold coins that are weighed at the register?
I had the same reaction. I don't get the technical connection here. If he had used photoshop or something to make the copies more realistic maybe I could see it but this is just generic police blotter fodder.
Gandhi, Mother Theresa and Lotti Moon are people who would have led good, self-sacrificing lives no matter what religion they were born under or followed. They weren't representatives of their religion - they were representatives of faith and humanity. If anything, they were good despite their religions - not because of it.
Religion is about rules. The difference between Catholic, Baptist, Hindu, Muslim, etc. is strictly about the rules each must follow. If you strip away all the rules and dogma you get just faith.
You misunderstand what Gandhi is I think. One of his most famous quotes is "I am a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, and a Jew". He believed in a brotherhood of man - not the dominance of one particular religion over another. That is very different from being a religious leader and forcing your doctrine on others.
More like religion is a set of rules about morality that allow a chosen few to control and profit off the lemming majority while themselves completely ignoring the rules.
Why would it be illegal? Just find a different doctor/dentist if you don't want to sign it. If enough people do that then they will think twice about requiring it.
And many things hamper a persons right to free speech. Everything from NDAs to sexually harassing comments. And unless Congress is your doctor then the 1st Amendment doesn't play here.
You mean they are rectangular and black with a touchscreen? This is hardly revolutionary design. And Samsung's TVs look just like other TVs - again rectangular and black.
I see this all the time on apps. People downrate the app because they failed to download it while driving in a tunnel under Antartica in a lead-lined car during a solar flare.
Bayer lost their Aspirin trademark in 4 countries as part of World War I reparations. I would hardly count that as a glowing example. It's still trademarked in many countries. Curiously enough they also had and lost a trademark on heroin.
First, Microsoft doesn't have a trademark (which is what you are talking about - not copyrithgs) on.Net. Windows was a graphical interface for DOS and was originally going to be called interface manager. No matter what they weren't sell windows based on the commonly held definition of a window at the time.
Xerox may be based on Xerography but as long as the name of their company wasn't Xerography they are fine. And their trademark is still valid by the way. You don't buy a Canon Xerox machine. You buy a Canon copier.
Yahoo doesn't sell Yahoos and that should be pretty obvious.
Apps were called apps before apple started a store to sell them. Apple shouldn't be able to trademark that name but unfortunately, like many other things with the USPTO, things don't always make sense. After all the Container Store sells containers and has a trademark.
What I'd like to see is for it to completely backfire and completely invalidate the trademark on all these other companies at the same time.

The problem is the subset of pages that are useful differs from developer to developer.
Because it is both authoritative and exhaustive but only at the moment it is written.
The religious right doesn't have much of a grasp on NYC. I wouldn't expect too many protesters.
If you're going tonight you might want to check the weather. Tornado and severe weather warning for the city tonight.

Larry Ellison is the most evil man in the tech world and he completely escapes scrutiny because most end users have no idea what Oracle does or sells.
Copyrights predate the Constitution.

Isn't it a little late to be complaining about this? It's 40 years later and Nixon's dead.

No I have a correct view of the difference between faith, spirituality and religion.

I've given up on trying to educate slashdot readers on the distinctions between patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
I had my white droid 2 global months before the white iPhones came out. So maybe Motorola should be suing Apple over the color white?
Looks like every other smartphone to me.

The very article you linked to says the same thing:
"Samsung Electronics was told Wednesday to fork over five of its not-yet-released mobile phones to Apple."
And I am pretty sure it would be hard to put this news in a light that wasn't anti-Apple.
What do you measure in? Nanoseconds? How old is your computer that either takes more than a second to load?
