Trademarks are only good for the market you are in. There is in fact a company that sells a BFG(Big Frame Revolver) and id has no way to come after them. Id does not market or sell revolvers.
How can they copyright the look when so many are so close?
Without the trademarks can you really tell the difference between a COLT AR15 and a Bushmaster or an Olympic Arms? The patents on those designs have surely run out.
As far as I can tell for all but the newest guns the only issue should be trademarks.
You are not losing data since you have no idea that the data in the email is formatted family name last. I see this getting flipped all the time because the HR person is ignorant of the naming conventions.
Just do fullname@domain.tld. I really is that easy. In case of conflict you can simply add middle name or initial. It also fits names that are outside the typical western naming convention.
That is not the point. The point is if you go buy a gun now and then in 10 years become a drug lord and use your old gun to kill your competitors that should be recorded as a legal gun/owner committing a crime. The gun was legally sourced is the point.
I say this as a person with a macbook air, not running OSX though. Apple has marketing, MS has ballmer and few people care about liberation or freedom.
So what if you bought the guns before you did that?
The point is this sort of BS is used to make gun ownership look safer than it is. If we make anyone who ever violated a speed limit an illegal driver than we can say legal drivers don't ever cause accidents.

Those parts are all math too.
X = 1 is the same as $X =1;
Tell me where this not math software is. Lets see some examples.
Realism?
The old Ghost Recon had realism, in Call of Honor or Medal of Duty you can absorb far more damage than is realistic.

I was thinking more like counter strike handled it.
Instead of a desert eagle, they had a deagle, instead of a Arctic Warfare Magmun, they had the AWP. Stuff like that.
I think the BFG is far enough from real weapons to avoid licensing costs.
Why would you bother calling it by its real world name?
Just call it something else and don't pay.
Because none of them are.
Nor would I apply for such a thing of my own volition. It is immoral.
Or we could agree with that smartass and just get rid of patents all together.
Yelling is useful in a text medium, much like punctuation.
What part of software is not math?
What languages are you using exactly?
I am speaking of spaces and the like, not non-ascii chars.
In those cases I think romanization is likely done, but that does not change the order of the name or how many parts it may have.
Here is a simple suggestion.
MATH IS NOT FUCKING PATENTABLE YOU IDIOTS! STOP ALLOWING SOFTWARE PATENTS SINCE THEY ARE JUST MATH.
This should be pretty simple, but they would never accept that.
Slashdot admins; The caps are supposed to be yelling, that is why I used them. Sometimes yelling is needed.
It means the string the person uses for identification. If there are chars that are not valid, replace them in a known way.

Not everyone has a family name nor a single given name.
Paychecks have no need for a name of that format. I can make a check out to a coworker whose name does not follow that convention.
Maybe in 1955 where you are that is ok, but these days there are too many special cases to call them special cases.
Also it is brain dead to design a system that way. It means you know there will be problems you could have easily avoided.
11. Archaic Chinese characters can exist in names but not yet be available in Unicode.
40. The artist formally known as prince now known as some thing that is not a character.
NO, STOP!
Assuming western naming conventions is brain dead.
Why the hell does everyone assume western names?
Just do fullname@domain.tld. I really is that easy. In case of conflict you can simply add middle name or initial. It also fits names that are outside the typical western naming convention.
Yup.
Could just as easily infect a jailbroken iPhone this way.
This sort of infection vector is nothing to get excited about.

If a college level database course ties you to one DB it is a total failure.
There is no reason to even use a commercial or well known DBMS. In fact I would say it runs counter to the real point.
Being locked into a walled garden is liberating?

Net Neutrality has nothing to do with QoS.

No they should not be.
Those devices don't offer a phone, which I need but not enough to demand a device that is a phone first.
