Then have the built upon patent become public as soon as the follow-on patent is granted, as it will have to reference the original. If you only use the public patent, you can't be sued.
I think you confused your pros and cons there. The reason the folks switched from.NET were precisely productivity, reliability, scalability, and we can add ongoing maintenance costs. It's not about just getting out the door but costs over time.
You still don't get it. I think you're arguing an unstated semantic point here. If your statement is the government now has easy unfettered and full access to your medical history, that's a different statement and one I'd respond that while they technically can have that level of access, but in reality the access is fettered by a whole set of incompatible and crappy systems that only marginally talk to each other, at least in my experience.
That the gov has always been able to get access if there was a (legal) need, which was my statement, is still true.
MS has decided that the appropriate response to people recognizing that "service" as at best dysfunctional is to make it no longer something that is particularly easily disabled in the consumer edition of Win10.
My response to that was to walk away a long time ago. I only run MS in VMs today. Those VMs are snapshotted and copied prior to running. The W10 VMs will additionally be firewalled and proxied if I have to start them up again in the future. With any luck, I won't need to.
Pretty much everyone uses Facebook. Everyone who has access to the Internet, has a Facebook account. You belong to the.4% category.
there are apparently 1.65B monthly "active" users on FB. Why the quotes? Because I know at least 3 people that are active on FB, and each of them has more than 1 account that they're actively using. I also know some others that have 1 account, but may or may not be active. There are an estimated 3.4B internet users globally. So apparently GP and I are in the majority of internet users.
What tech firms have over 100k+ employees that you worked for from startup?
Reading comprehension 101:
I've worked for well over a dozen companies from startups to 100K+ employee tech firms
Restatement: They have worked for 12+ companies ranging from startups to 100K+ employee tech firms.
I have as well, multiple startups, several small to mid sized firms, and several 100K firms, although not solely focused on tech in my case. I can state that several.NET firms switched to Java. I have yet to see one switch to.NET, although I did see one firm with.NET employees trying to code in Java that didn't go as well as it might have, but they persevered, although they did have some employee turnover. And I have coded in both.NET and Java. Java is way easier to get a job in.
Hand-carrying files doesn't mean the gov couldn't get their hands on the data, it reinforces that yes, they indeed could get data that was there to get. Very little is not subject to a court order. Medical records are not an exception.
Considering I have done work in the health-care industry, I'm well aware of what the online "convenience" means, and how shoddy current privacy protections are. And even then, I still have to go grab my paperwork from various locales to give to my new doc, so apparently this online convenience doesn't even deliver that promised convenience. I'm actually glad it doesn't, yet.
Just read on the BBC that they're furiously backpedaling hard now, so much so that people that voted to Leave are concerned that they possibly were lied to. A politician that lies? And what's even funnier is they feel this way even when their reason for voting Leave was that they felt all the experts, economists, bankers, etc were lying to them about what a Brexit would do to the economy. Now they all pretend shock that everything that was stated as fallout is coming true. Even better, Johnson is attempting to calm people that EU citizens can still stay in the UK and UK citizens can move about and buy homes in the EU. Is he the UK's Rob Ford? Those are some delusional statements to be making at this time. I'd bet you a US dollar (as the pound may be worthless next week) that if the Brexit vote were held today, Remain would win by a large margin.
You agreed to allow MS to run the update utility, whose function is to update your PC. Honestly, since you can disable this "service" and it has been a policy to disable it everywhere I've been since the NT days, I'm not sure why you're whining now. This certainly has not been a secret. I personally don't see why anyone would allow an update service to effectively "own" their computer. MS has been notorious for doing things other than patching bugs in their security updates.
First, the health care industry now has to hold massive amounts of data on you, and has to make it available to the Government. This is the price of government mandated and controlled insurance.
They've always done this. And it's always been available to the government. They might have needed a warrant, but it's available.
All of this data makes it simple to steal your identity,... Within the last month or so,. two people hit with tens of thousands of dollars in co-pay for major surgery, and another was hit with fees from a transplant. All of which were done to other people.
Seems like an easy thing to get out of. Did I have a transplant? No? You billed the wrong person. Also seems like a very simple thing to track down the guilty party, especially with something like a transplant that requires specialized long term oversight and care. A last note, tens of thousands of copay for a single incident is pretty crappy insurance.
I see the roots of DRM extending deep into the systems core on any system trying to download content locally. Sony dropped in a rootkit for a few songs on a silly little audio CD, companies will demand far more for a library as extensive as Netflix.
Or, Netflix starts this with their own content, and due to popularity, everyone else winds up falling in line.
I'm assuming triggering Article 50 just got delayed by his resignation.
I think it got delayed because Boris Johnson and that other pro-Brexit guy whose name I don't remember say he shouldn't rush into it. "In voting to leave the EU it’s vital to stress that there’s no need for haste, and as the Prime Minister has just said nothing will change in the short term except work will begin on how to extricate this country from the supranational system. As the Prime Minister has said there is no need to invoke Article 50."
So the pro-Brexit guys are back-pedaling already because they aren't ready for Brexit? That's truly the funniest thing I've heard all day. "We want out. We want out". Holy shit! We won? Now what? Better start planning..... Sounds like the Conservatives just won another round in office.
while the raw Bluray takes forever with all the forced adverts. and "you are evil, dont download a car, etc...."
What are those things? Honestly, I think my BD player has seen maybe 8 disks in however many years since I got it with the prior TV. Even my HD-DVD player has only ever seen a handful of disks.
They tried it with macrovision and any number of other things. Again, it will always fail. Anything can be copied and pushing a law through won't stop people from playing things back, because you can't control all devices. For instance, if I bought a new TV and it wouldn't play something my old one will, I return it. Buy another. Return it, cycle repeats a few million times with a bunch of consumers, and voila, bankrupt manufacturer. Oh, and you'd have to have a global law to enact such a thing. They tried with HDMI/HDCP. HDCP 2.0 lasted about 2 weeks before it was broken. I wouldn't put money on any DRM. Audio has ditched it without negative effects. Video will follow soon enough, I hope. Too bad Steve couldn't get that task finished. BD content plays awesomely on my HTPC and not having to deal with HDCP issues when I multiplex shows you what life could be. The only thing I'm missing is a MVC 3D MKV capable player. TAB or SBS just doesn't cut it.
And if you read else where, since you can see and hear it, you can always "copy" it, because all DRM is operational and not circumvented. You can even get perfect or near perfect copies without touching any DRM yourself. We go back to the "if you can see it or hear it, it can be copied" statement. The entire DMCA is a massive red herring by the *AA that is intended to attempt to make the act of copying illegal, but note that it is still legal to copy anything, so it fails legally because what they're attempting is physically impossible. The marketing could be considered a success since people like you bought it hook line and sinker.
Globalization is fine, as long as imports are balanced by exports not only in value but tax revenues and environmental impacts. That's not the case in the US and hasn't been for decades.
Oh, there's lots of truth to it, maybe not so much to legal immigration though. But in the US, there absolutely has been a depressing of wages due to illegal immigrants and globalization, plus a significant loss of mid tier jobs due to them being moved overseas. Don't fool yourself, these effects are facts. Now, what's not said by many is that those jobs will be disappearing over the next few years to couple of decades anyways, due to automation. That's a whole different can of worms that still isn't being addressed.
Cameron resigned. And it would be interesting to see the polls over the next couple of days. I'm assuming triggering Article 50 just got delayed by his resignation. It may be a play for some truly interesting politics, especially since it seems the older already have mine generation voted on the future of the younger generations and screwed them.
Honestly, with several hundred discs in my library, I only have Netflix for recent movies I only want to see once, with some others I may have interest in. In the past year I'd say at least 20% of the movies I've gotten have been so bad I didn't even watch the whole thing. I'm suspecting my tolerance for uninspired movies has dropped significantly though. (and no, the twilight series was never in my queue, so you can cross those off the rejection list)
It is determined by law. Are you just completely ignorant of copyright statues?
There are 2 laws, one is copyright, which regulates distribution of copies. You are not violating this law by copying a stream.
The other is the DMCA. Since you're not cracking the DRM but exploiting a flaw in the executing program, you are technically not violating the DMCA any more than if you opened your monitor up and captured the bitstream past the HDMI/HDCP connection where it is no longer encrypted.

I think we can safely say that all AC upmodded comments in this thread are Activision shills posting AC and upmodding their own comments. Well done.

If only I hadn't spent those first few months lurking without an account...
First few years.... or, if I created an account, lost it long ago, both in reality and in memory.

It's a matter of semantics, as far as MS is concerned. It's an update unless they want to charge you for it.
