I have taken the time to read through some of their earlier patents cited in the law suit. "Intelligent placement of adds", likelihood of clicks etc. This is so... innovatiive? Any of those guys and patent lawyers ever worked in the "real world"? Just because you do something that has been done all the time on the web it's not automatically an innovation.
Let me assure you that I do know quite a few people who refrain from traveling to the USA for doing business nowadays. One, you are being treated like a criminal at the border, with the fingerprints reexported to the criminal database of your homeland, two, having all you data copied at the border is... unthinkable.
Now, if you won't do this to American citizens anymore, great. Does not help all the other business people from around the world.
And lastly, if the Dollar wouldn't have this "all time low" right now, many people would not see a reason to spend their holidays in the USA either.
You just don't be surprised when it hits you, please.
I do see http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/... sprayed everywhere in these specifications. Does this enable the owner of that domain to monitor who reads what and when?
Or give a good excuse why that information is transferred to this domain?
Same thing happened in Germany recently. But not with the White House (of course) but with the armed forces (Bundeswehr) AFAIK.
They were able to recover the "lost" backup data from the originals from which the backups were taken (after the CCC told them to look for the originals):-)
The internet is to computers like the air is to free speech. Air does not care who or about what you want to communicate with others. It just transports the sound waves from you to others and vice versa. That's the internet job for PC and devices as well.
Have you any numbers of the power levels ? Bluetooth uses lower levels AFAIK. Still not optimal, but probably better. More insights on this topic are very welcome.
Given what I saw on last years 21C3 MySQL 4 will fall flat on its face if someone starts to test the security of this version of the product.
The sas thing is: I am not kidding. Don't use too long usernames on the SQL client-side which could be (by coincidence) the same location where your SAP-System is installed.
Did anyone ever take into account what it costs to install a critical patch on every system in the enterprise and have to reboot each machine afterwards? I guess you need large numbers to compute the costs of such an operation in bigger corporations.
Now, how often would you have to do that on which OS?
Personally I do know at least one person that won't be allowed to study in the US anymore. She is listed in one of those mysterious lists and as a consequence isn't allowed to study in the US anymore. She can't figure out how and for what reason she came into that list. Perhaps she knows the wrong people like some of my friends and... ohhh, I should ask too, I guess.
IANAL. AFAIK you can't limit my rights to make something compatible or even disassemble the binary for that purpose in Germany.
Concerning EULAs: The limitation you are speaking of is probably valid only for shrink-wrapped software. The reason is, that you bought the software BEFORE you could read the EULA contents. But that's not teh case for Terms of Use I think. So better beware!
I just tried to download the Helix Player Binary. I again needed to accept a license which states:
2. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS.
a) You may not: (i) permit other individuals to use the Software except under the terms listed above; (ii) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or use any other method (including "clean room" development) to learn the source code of the Software...
So, if I agree to that license, does that mean I am never ever again allowed to do a clean room implementation for any Real formats?
I just registered in the Helix Community. Once again I had to read through and agree to a "terms of use" statement. I hate to do such things.
I think we do need a well known BSD/GPL/LGPL equivalent for "Terms of Use"-Agreements. If we had such agreements I only need to read the name of the agreement and know what is in it. That's one of the big advantages taht BSD/GPL/LGPLed software has over software with non-free licenses.
I think they made a mistake here. From the article: "Sandra's CPU benchmark is obviously quite optimized for hyperthreading at this point, and the numbers certainly show that. We see an average improvement of ~39% when hyper-threading is enabled on the P4..."
The numbers are: 4328 without HT 7125 with HT
You could say that disabling HT makes this benchmark 39% slower. But the the increase by turning HT on is 7125/4328-1 = 1.646 - 1 = 0.646 = 64.6 %

Why is no one recommending to raise the security level for Java applets from "medium" to "high" or "very high"?
Since Update 10 there is this new control that could be employed exactly right now:

What if I told you we patented Facebook, LinkedIn and all the like back in 2001? Would that be prior art even to this patent?
Wow! Either you are not American or there is still hope :-)

Add a "&strip=1" to the google cache URL and you will not have to wait for the images to load (which won't happen the next hours):

Since the site needs images to load: Google cached text only (don't click a link there)
Well, these act as an antenna. You don't want that.
Have you any numbers of the power levels ? Bluetooth uses lower levels AFAIK. Still not optimal, but probably better. More insights on this topic are very welcome.
Be careful: Some headsets are used as antennas for the cell phone. That would contradict the goal you are trying to achieve.
Perhaps a bluetooth headset can minimize the energy which your DNA in the brain has to absorb.

One of the biggest German political magazines, the Spiegel, has a story about this topic in German. Here is the automatic translation into something similar to English.
