You can strip a lot of that stuff out, but you'd be surprised how many people don't bother. The function names for shared libraries won't be stripped out, though, and shared libraries get called a lot in typical software.
You do not need empirical proof beyond a reasonable doubt in a civil case. A good lawyer could make that guy's life miserable.
That's a good point.
According to the article, the Finnish police have several investigations ongoing, and plan on turning them over to a prosecutor soon.
There's a huge investigation on the guy by the Finnish police (according to the article). He's already been in jail once. The problem is, he hasn't done anything (as far as anyone can tell). He complained on a forum, and other people have been doing the harassing.
The region never got its borders sorted out through wars like Europe did. The current borders were drawn up by European colonialists, and don't reflect tribal/ethnic divisions.
There are border disputes all over the place in Europe. Here are some of them, and Wikipedia is missing a lot there, like the Basque region between Spain and France that has gotten violent at times, or the Sunni tribes spread across northern Scandinavia who don't have their own country. The latter example shows that not all ethnic divisions need to incite violence.....
If the judge is clearly siding with one party ahead of trial, shouldn't they be able to get him off this case on grounds of being biased?
The judge issued a verdict on one aspect of the case. She will probably issue several rulings in favor of both sides over the course of the lawsuit.
These sorts of copyright cases go very slowly. One party will file a motion, then 60 days later the parties will meet in court for maybe 15 minutes, as the judge issues her ruling (in California, the judge often issues a tentative ruling the day before, and the losing side can optionally argue the case in court to change her mind). Then more time passes until the next hearing.
Eventually there will be a final judgement, and maybe more hearings after that. But this is not a final judgement, it is a judgement on one technical aspect of the law. Litigation will continue.
I haven't done much C vs C++ side-by-side analysis of the two... is there an obvious difference in the generated assembly
Huge differences.....the most obvious are the function names (which are compiled into a binary) being mangled. The C++ name mangling will turn "strcmp" into "__1cGstrcmp6Fpkc1_i_" or something similar (it's not standard by compiler). The parameters types are encoded in the name, so the compiler can know which function to call when the functions are overloaded.
Curious, how would this be helpful? I've written application settings before, and both iPhone and Android have a standard way of doing it (but it's not as thought-out as your method). I'm not sure I've ever thought of this as something that slows me down, though. What am I missing?
tbh I don't think they have a case at all......demonstrating harm will be difficult. They are counting on the fact that the opposing counsel will tell them it could be cheaper to settle, because a court case could be expensive.
If they thought they had a strong case, they would have just filed it, instead of threatening to file it.

You simply cannot make a credible business case for a private company to do it.
It really depends how much cheaper it can get. I don't claim to know the answer to that. At some point, tourism becomes a reasonable business plan.
Did you pay attention to the fact that the biggest politician of them all, President Obama, was also complaining about the media?
The worst is probably the IT security field, where things are often viewed as secure or not,
That question is easy, the answer is "not." All that remains is "how hard to access?"
Before you get your knickers in a bunch: this is most likely just a bug,
That doesn't particularly make me feel better about Microsoft......

It has a hardware random number generator. Woohoo, so secure.
It's still vulnerable to SSID spoofing.
The purpose isn't security, the purpose is to have a multi-function router. It's a router, and a print server, and a (http?) server.
By 'secure', they mean 'has automatic updates.' Which is cool, but it's kind of like bandaid security.
It's been a while since I've done Android, so I had to look it up again. This is what I was talking about.
Yes lolol
If someone in a group makes a reference to you using the wrong pronoun gender, do you care then?
No.
How about if they use a non-gender pronoun, like "it"?
I would think they are weird, but it wouldn't bother me. I'm too old to care about stuff like that.
I've really, really stopped caring about the gender of pronouns
How would you solve that flaw?

If this makes it into precedent/law, how long until many people accuse Rightscorp of copyright violations and take them offline?
You would need to have standing to accuse Rightscorp of copyright violations......which would probably mean you'd need to own the copyright.
What do you do when you get three tons of gravel dumped on your driveway?

To be fair, Plato is closer to our day than he is to the beginning of written history.
Is it bad of me to hope the case goes to court, just to see what would happen?

I'm a Patreon user, and I got the scam email.
Note immediately the difference between the AM hack........un all the AM stories we had on Slashdot, not one person said, "I am an AM user...."

And Democrats do not complain,
Seriously dude, you must have the worst partisan bias of all time. You need to fix that.
