That's where police can seize your property and cash without first proving you committed a crime; without a warrant and without arresting you, as long as they suspect that your property is somehow tied to a crime.
I thought I was reading about some regime in the east! Not this USA. What is the difference? This saddens me.
Whats going to happen here is that the patent trolls are going to grab these patents and use them to bludgeon the tech world for years to come. It'll hold back innovation and development of technology and make bucketloads of money for people whose most positive feature is that they are complete cunts.
"In those days a laptop was the size of a suitcase."
I had one of these, the Compaq Portable. It weighed 35 pounds, had a 5-inch green-screen display and dual floppies, and ran MSDOS. Because it had a suitcase handle in the back it was as theoretically "portable" as a Weber grill with a handle on it would be. No batteries, because you had to plug it in. Stand back, because it generated roughly the same amount of heat as that Weber grill.
And yes, the software actually ran off one floppy disk, with the 176K acreage of the other being available for storage. Uphill! Both ways!
I don't think anyone called them 'laptops', they were fondly known as 'tote-ables'. I used to have a Sparcstation Voyager
By which point the victims have spent tens of thousands of dollars.
Only the stupid ones. Patent trolls shotgun out thousands and thousands of threatening letters, hoping someone will bite. That is why it is called "trolling". The biggest mistake you can make is to respond to their letter. That marks you as a target. They can't possibly afford to file so many lawsuits, so they only go after the fools. You should never respond to a patent troll until you have been served an actual filing by a legitimate process server.
IANAL, and if I were, I would give you the exact opposite advice: A letter from a patent troll requires a robust and muscular response, and I need a $10k retainer to do that.
Hah and in some jurisdictions failing to respond is an admission of guilt!
By which point the victims have spent tens of thousands of dollars. This is a very serious problem, and one that has significant costs for the economy. If there is also corruption involved, then why isn't the judge and his son now being interviewed by state of Federal law enforcement? There's no way any of this ethical, and almost certainly it has to be illegal.
LAWYERS are a significant burden on the North American economy! Loads of things cost more because of over-litigation and having to pay for litigation insurance. The mess of complex laws, regulations and bylaws make doing anything a minefield. Its a wonder anyone can do business in North America at all. Anyone except lawyers and insurers that is!
The steady work on Hyper-V seems impressive with each release... M$ seems to be giving this product a lot of love, but does M$ permit you to run another M$ OS in it, or am I right they expect you to buy another license?
It kinda feels like a rip to pay full-price for a license for an OS that's only gonna run in a virtual machine. Running as a guest, you'll never realize the full benefits of many of the OS' features (e.g., Direct X). So, why pay full price?
Windows 7 Pro gave you a free licensed copy of XP, back when XP was still a supported OS. Apple let's you run as many instances of virtualized OS X as you like (so long as your host is Apple hardware, if you're reading the fine print). Linux, of course, is free. But having a virtualized M$ OS is just convenient to have, for testing, rolling back an undo drive, true virtual workspaces, all sorts of stuff. If M$ packaged a canned version of 10 with Hyper-V, that could get interesting.
What virtualisation system is used to run OSX VMs?
Wow, you have anger management problems. That is incredibly clear through your history of extremely aggressive posts on here. I've seen you fly into massive fits of rage whenever someone posts or replies to you and expresses doubt that humans are causing global warming. It's as if, despite the extreme preponderance of evidence that humans aren't causing global warming, you're desperately wanting it to be true and lashing out at anyone who says otherwise. It sure seems that whenever someone says something you don't like, you feel that you have justification to attack them with little or no bounds to your bad behavior. Apparently your abusive posts extend beyond global warming. But no matter how much you say otherwise, Edge is a good browser and humans aren't causing global warming. Accept that people have different views than you, which are actually supported by strong evidence. Move on and chill out. You'll be glad you did.
Ok, lets see if MightyMartian is a SJW.
Windows 10 and global warming are definitely not LBGTQ issues. They have absolutely nothing to do with trans community please stop trying to drag the LBGTQ agenda into absolutely everything.
As with everything else, the Europeans will blame the US for this. Somehow. When they don't like something, it's always the fault of the US and how the US supposedly forces their laws on Europe. I can't imagine this will be any different.
Well there is that DNS system that the US wants to maintain control over, so we can blame the US for that!
I'd say that Jesus declared it complete. Obsolete carries a slightly different connotation for me, so while I might agree with the sentiment, I disagree ever so slightly on vocabulary. I believe that Jesus was the completion of the old law and so He had the authority and did the things that made the old law complete. It wasn't invalidated like the term "obsolete" would usually imply, but rather finished. According to my beliefs, he completed the theocracy and he alone had the right to determine what, if anything, would complete it. He said that there were things that people should do and he defined how people should behave but he expected a direct relationship with God and didn't expect politics to be a part of that.
It can either be complete or consistent. If Jesus declared it complete then it must be inconsistent. Would you rather your life be run by incomplete laws or inconsistent laws?
Also "Not one jot or iota shall pass from the Law until the end of days." so why aren't Christians required to be circumcised and follow other aspects of the LAW such as dietary restrictions? Huh, in reality Christians are a bunch of atheists who don't even follow the Law that their prophet/God laid down.
yep if you run any sort of business a merchant account threw a bank offers way more protection. but the problem is everyone uses paypal.
If you really want to fix this entire nation that's easy. Send all the niggers back to Africa with a Baby Boomer under each arm. That will immediately cause an era of prosperity and technological advancement that will absolutely dwarf the 1950s.
And leave millennials in charge, 'Murica fuck yeah!
As a backbone tech it's good. But home networks are perfectly served by Class C v4, and large corps by Class A/B
Carrier grade NAT sucks balls. I've seen ISP's where every time I click on a link, the 'click' is coming from a different IP address, sometimes from different blocks. Things would be so much nicer and tidier with v6 and screw the NAT.
Reputation doesn't matter if you can't get ipv4 addresses.
ipv6 hasn't "been taking forever to deploy." It has been deployed for a long, long time; what is known is that until ipv4 addresses ran out, there was no pressing need to switch. But the infrastructure was already deployed a long time ago.
One of the issues with IPv6 that I've seen is that otherwise competent network engineers are terrified of it because they love their NAT and can't conceive of having Internet routeable addresses on 'internal' hosts. Its like they've forgotten how to do real firewalling.
Write Hillary. Ask her to enforce "best practice" rules for common carriers including ISP's. Leaving Netflix to work out the details with the content providers / Restricters when 100% of the customer base goes dark forever. ABC et al will come around quickly rather than give up market access.
The way I see it, its like the old 'Church of the Subgenius' stance on alcohol, to paraphrase: "Don't vote for Hillary to solve problems, only to create them."
Every issue, doesn't matter what the issue is, someone like you has to come in with your two dimensional black and white point of view and poisonous attitude. Yes, in simplest terms you are correct, if the road is paid for by the taxpayers then all taxpayers have a right to drive on it. HOWEVER, and this is where your myopic view refuses to go further, there is a big fucking difference between normal road use, heavy road use and peak level traffic which has been re-routed from a main fucking road down a quiet residential street which was never meant to handle it. Aside from wrecking peoples quality of life there are safety concerns with children, not to mention emergency vehicle access down much narrower side streets.
So, no, try and be a little more understanding and intelligent before slapping your crap onto something you don't understand.
I completely agree. And you get this myopic world view in all kinds of areas like the whole transgender 'bathroom' issue where neither side can get past their myopia.

You are actually living in a Banana Republic.
In a police-state, that does only apply to the police. A citizen is guilty if the police says so.
Yeah but in the case of civil forfeiture its not a citizen who is being presumed guilty until innocent, its the money (or other object).
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Except niggers. When black males - a 7% minority - are convicted for just over 50% of all murders, well, they earned any prejudice they get.
You are assuming the convictions are legitimate. If you think the US justice system has any justice in it you are terribly naive.

Mysogynist!! How dare you criticize the leadership of a strong womyn!!
Look, just keep the LBGTQ agenda out of this, ok? Not everything in the universe is connected to trans or queer rights!

Not everyone is a native English speaker, rude moron.
And many people who are native English speakers can't be bothered fussing over every little detail of English grammar or spelling!

HE's IPv4-IPv6 offering is a VPN.
They're blocking VPNs.
I don't love that they are blocking VPNs, but that's all this is. Direct IPv6 connections will work fine.
4in6 is not a VPN, theres no encryption, if you examine the outer packets you can see the inner packets and their contents.
IPv6 is a solution to several problems that _do_ exist! Have you ever looked at the changes from IPv4 to IPv6?
What I'd like to see is the actual implementation of IPv6's built-in IPSEC support. That would be very very interesting.

Disbar the plaintiff's lawyer.
Did you read the article?
That would be the plaintiff. And he wasn't admitted to any bar so good luck with that.
