Why place the word infringement in quotes? Does the OP not consider that to be real word, or consider it to be somehow incorrectly used? Is that just some lazy way of expressing disdain for the idea of copyrights in the first place? Will the OP's minions now "moderate" this post? Or are they being distracted because we're having such nice "weather" outside and using "slashdot" is a poor use of their "time?"
The treaty has no concept of fair use, absolutely none... Just by referencing the summary now and saying that it puts something in quotes, would make you criminal according to TPP rules. When the treaty talks about "infringements", reasonable people have no choice but put it in quotation marks.
AMD... uh... has a beta driver for Windows. Not even an announcement of Linux support. Yeah, so much for AMD having an insurmountable lead or anything.
Isn't Vulkan just a standardised version of Mantle, which AMD does have drivers for?
Yes, but not on Linux. They have been pushing a lot of big updates to the Linux driver recently, and they probably need those for the driver.
Have you even looked at the articles you referenced yourself? Do they even exist?
He seems drunk with his spelling, but it did happen. Though it was "Obama" not Obama. Apple complained to the administration and they lifted the import ban, and it was only a temporary ban in the first place.
At least software patents. It is also really hard to feel sorry for Apple, since they are the only tech giant not in favor of a patent reform. They seem to like the current patent hell, so it feels appropiate they suffer it.
Shielding employees and stockholders is the entire POINT of a corporation.
This WHY a corporation should never be considered a person. It exists primarily to avoid the moral awareness and responsibility that an actual meat bag has.
NO. Shielding the stockholders is the point of a corporation. Employees are still liable for any crimes they commit. Also in the US, most countries just have a "tradition" for not suing the rich or the wealthy such as CEO, but that is not because they are immune or protected by anything other than their money and power.
Facebook could have just put a fig leaf over the offending parts...
It is not the censorship that has been ruled on yet. It is the stupid EULA that claimed you had to sue them in California. That is just too stupid and embarresing for any fig leaf to cover.
Yes but out of Firefox, Edge, Chrome, and Safari, Firefox fails more often every single year. Actually it's typically up with IE, and we all know that IE is a model browser for internet security./sarcasm
Safari is the browser the fails the fastest and most regularly. Google Chrome is second.
It is assumed because it is pwn2own, and people attack Safari first to win a MacBook.
As an avid Firefox user, I have to agree. Firefox is good because it's customizable, but it certainly lacks some inherent security features found in other major browsers.
There ARE still big signs saying "Now leaving Country X and entering Country Y!" followed by a quick list of the rules of the road in that country - city speed, highway speed, must have lights on during daytime or not... It really is hard to miss, ESPECIALLY when all the city names become hard to pronounce!
Well in Belgian you see those all the time. Now entering Netherlands, now leaving Netherlands, entering Germany, entering Luxemburg, welcome to Belgian. Was I even gone?
Only if you are a douche-bag that would twist the meaning of the word "malware" to include telemetry functions. Surely GNU/Linux zealots would never stoop that low. Right?
Spyware is spyware, but I would complain about all mobile operating systems, and Google Chrome on all platforms long before Windows 10.
I don't know about you, but here multi-lane roads are common, where you have 2-5 lanes of traffic all going the same direction.
Removing the 'interior' lines would be suicidal.
We are talking about Europe and slow roads. They are not going to have more than one lane going in any direction. In fact many places they might not even have that much.
My problem with shared space is when there is an accident, who is at fault?
The driver. Always the driver. It is the same if a pedestrian jumps out in front of your car in a non shared space and you never have a chance to break, it is still the driver's fault. This is because drivers are forced to have insurance, so it basically becomes a policy guaranteeing all accidents are insured.
it does, in fact, appear to result in a natural reduction in traffic speed.
That is not what matters. Does it result in fewer accidents? If drivers are slowing down because they sense that the conditions are less safe, then the absence of lines is just delaying people for no benefit.
Head on collisions are effectively non-existing, even without stripes in the middle of the road, it is not hard to keep to your side. In fact: Where I come from we usually don't have stripes on slow urban roads (or minor rural roads for that matter). I never thought about it, but it doesn't really seem necessary.
This was a case of an un-authorized service which creates a security hole.
No, it wasn't. The only security hole, was the security of Apple's income from customers dum enough to buy their products.
Think about this again: A non licensed repair to a car may make the car less safe, but that does not, under any circumstances give the car manufacturer the right to sneak in an willfully destroy the car. Nor does it make sense them them to do so, except to protect their own repair shop income.
Though if they want to maximize readability, why aren't the using fonts with the little training wheels specially designed to make letters faster to read and easier to recognize in bad reading conditions, what's the name: SERIF fonts!
For road signs, they don't want to maximize readability, they want to maximize legibility, which is not the same thing.
No, but serif fonts are also more legible. It was previously believed sans-serif were better at this, but new research is proving it wrong. When we can't see a shape clearly we guess details, this is why with a sans-serif fonts, c e a all look like o or s (depending on the person) at a distiance. Add serifs to those shapes, and the breaks in round shape warns the brain that it is not an o.
While highway gothis was more readable than the clearview. This version doesn't help.

Because that would be unimaginable CENSORSHIP? You stupid leftist idiot.
Twitter started it, they introduced censorship. Now they have to be consistent about it. That it becomes really nasty is the point, hopefully they will realise they don't want to be doing censorship.
Actually, according to them the North Pole really isn't the issue. It's the South Pole that doesn't exist. Instead there's a wall of ice around Antarctica that's guarded by NASA employees to keep people from finding the truth (I'm not actually making that up, unfortunately).
But they are. Flat Earth Society was founded by physicists to make fun of creationists, it is a parody of creationism. Unfortunately Poe's Law applies to some people and they end up believing in the parody.

Something causing an effect. I am guessing the "laser".
Also, miltary speak for something cool and futuristic.

If you've ever worked on "Point of Sale" software you'll know that there really is no difference.
Real shit is usually fresher.

Popular misunderstandings about Apple's "rounded corner" patent make Slashdot's ad-counter spin. Slashdot thrives in commenter ignorance.
You should put the scare quotes around patent not rounded corners. It was on rounded corners, but it was only a "patent", being a design patent.
Have you even looked at the articles you referenced yourself? Do they even exist?
He seems drunk with his spelling, but it did happen. Though it was "Obama" not Obama. Apple complained to the administration and they lifted the import ban, and it was only a temporary ban in the first place.
We should abandon patents altogether.
At least software patents. It is also really hard to feel sorry for Apple, since they are the only tech giant not in favor of a patent reform. They seem to like the current patent hell, so it feels appropiate they suffer it.
No. It is because such a condition is ridiculous and simply not valid.

No being default on spyware? ;)
+5 funny. Firefox drops every year at Pwn2Own. So that "superior security" doesn't seem to actually amount to much in real life.
All the browsers fail every single year.

False analogy: Lotus didn't exploit security vulns to run. The dodgy fingerprint sensor did.
Lotus was a securty vulnerbility, especially to Microsoft.
