By that theory Apple can patent water, air, fire, the English language, the wheel, and everything else that has never been patented. Check the facts before you spew out nonsense.
This could be somewhat worrisome to us urban geocachers. It's gonna be harder to use the multi-billion dollar military satellite network to find that little tupperware container.
What happens when the note has been exchanged continuously from person to person for several years? The note will start to wear. How will those circuits hold up? I don't want to be arrested for suspected counterfeiting because the circuits in the note happened to fail while it was in my wallet.
Good! The sooner these patent trolls starts swarming the courtrooms, the sooner the absurdity of software patents become obvious. Let's all hope this is the beginning of the end of software patents as well as patents that are so vague and broad as to be meaningless.
That' irrelevant. Those who cause the accidents due to speed, they're speeding because they enjoy driving. Those who blow red lights and crash are blowing the lights because they enjoy driving (and don't wanna stop). Those who get behind the wheel while drunk are doing so because they enjoy driving. Those who *don't* enjoy driving are less likely to drive if their destination is possible via walking, cycling, or riding a taxi or public transit.
Only as long as the cell phone can be used while the car is stopped. I'm all for scrambling while the car is moving, but I don't feel it safe or necessary to have to exit the car to call 911, saying some guy is trying to carjack me, or my wife is having an allergic reaction...
What if you're walking? How could the phone distinguish that? There's a safety feature appearing in some cars that has a camera monitoring the driver's eyes. If it senses they're not watching the road, they can sound a buzzer, and after a time, perhaps stop the car. Car companies can push this technology so that idiots who are looking at their phones will be notified by the car's safety system by a loud annoying beep.
So what you're saying is it's better to let the problem happen (and *then* punish the driver) than to prevent it? Great, thanks a lot. When I get hit and killed by a car because some idiot is texting and not watching the road, I'll be sure to haunt you.
I see no problem with this. In fact it'd be interesting to know how many people are using Ubuntu. If Canonical could make the overall numbers per region/Ubuntu version public (keeping private the gritty details of course) it would give the world a look into the growing popularity of Linux and specifically Ubuntu. It could help Windows people who's feeling adventurous make the decision on whether or not to try Linux. Knowing how many people are using Ubuntu could help assure them there's a lot of support out there if they run into problems.
DeLorean did it back in the 80's. The footage is available at the end of the first Back to the Future movie. It flies too. And it travels through time once it reaches 88mph.
Years of research went into language analysis software for this plug-in before an intern stumbled on the genius idea of simply counting the exclamation marks.
I CAN THINK OF ANOTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR THAT IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME.
IT COULD ALSO MEAN I'M PISSED OFF YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD.
What do you mean we're odd? Just because our license plates say "Friendly Manitoba", doesn't mean we're odd. Many of us are just as unfriendly, and as pissed with "Central Canada", as you Saskies!
Woops, guess I should've RTFA. K, so it works for two people, works as 2-D for four people... useless for >4 people? We're supposed to be excited, why? Stereoscopy would work for any number of people, rather than a limited number cameras to watch a couple pairs of eyes.

I guess he's never heard of a decompiler?
'as long as it is deemed credible'
"Are you sure?"
"Yep."
"Okay, then. We'll put " . $name . " on the list."
In the Inquisition, one can be arrested and brought to trial on a single accusation. History is now repeating itself.

So how long before spoons are banned?
You don't need to pry out the black box. You can just buy a portable jammer

That's just screwed up. Bet this guy's dying to sue anyone who implements these devices without his permission...
This could eventually lead to direct neural interaction with the Internet (or its future outgrowth, the Metaverse)... Beware of the Snow Crash

I has had two much emails from grammar Natzi saying I can't write.
You mean you can't *right*. Get it write dood.

Why assume he's single? Maybe he's a married man who just enjoys the view.
My manager brought in cookies. I feel right as rain now.
Didn't you know? July 15 is the new April 1.
