The judge said the differences where the logo and its thinner... thats it... I'm not the smartest person on the block by far, but those are two pretty fucking minor and hardly noticeable details in my mind. Its unlikely you'll notice either of those two things unless you're comparing the two side by side. If all it takes is a millimeter dimension change and a logo to not be similar then I'm sure there are hundreds of not thousands of cases that should be over turned based on this choice.
Of course your fanboyism is making you ignore logic, which says if the fuddy old judge with a whip thinks your samsung isn't cool, than its really fucking lame if an old boring person thinks it sucks.
The radio shacks (all 3 within 5 minutes of driving) all carry a full set of general use components as well as Arduino and PIC microcontrollers and a shitload of basic sensors now.
Between the 3 stores in my area I can find basically EVERYTHING they sell online with the exception of a damn strobe transformer that they don't seem to carry anymore... ironic considering they sell the strobe tube in the component racks.
The PC was better because it had an open architecture and was expandable.
Really now? IBM sold the PC as an open architecture and was expandable by someone other than IBM? Funny, I don't really remember it that way.
The others mostly weren't. On top of that, the PC was cloned (because of its open architecture), making for much more competition.
Okay, I see the problem, you have no clue what you're talking about. You seem to think that IBM didn't fight the clone invasion tooth and nail in court...
You really need a history lesson before you much such completely ignorant statements. Your memory seems to be a little off about how the PC clone world came into existence.
Which is exactly what it does. It intercepts your Google.com search requests, does them itself, adds your stuff to the results and returns that to the web browser. Nothing was ever 'sent to google' to be leaked.
Knowing how something actually worked has never stopped anyone on slashdot from talking about the flaws it has.
Of course thats not what he ACTUALLY said any more than Gore said he invented the information super highway and global warming, but don't let that stop you.
Okay, its not new for Android, its just that this is another one of timothy's 'I live in a box and have no fucking clue what any of the topics on this site are about... and I'm dumber than dirt' approvals.
Why did my preference to not see timothy and kdawson go away?
P.S. I should mention that, if you think faster-than-light communication will be discovered, that would require such a radically different understanding of our universe as to be astonishing. In the framework of special relativity FTL communication enables one to break causality by communicating with the past.
Sigh. No, it doesn't. You fail to understand observation versus reality and so you fail to understand poor FTL communication metaphors. Every time you talk about FTL and causality you make everyone around you that actually has a clue instantly know that you don't have a clue.
If your GPS signal is blocked by skyscrapers and bridges I'd really suggest you open your eyes rather than looking at the GPS. The areas you're refering to are so few and far between and so dense that you really should just put down the gadget for 10 minutes and walk the final block to your destination.
Where is a standalone GPS? Pretty damn few out there right now.
Are your eyes closed? Every electronics store is full of them. Walmart, BestBuy, Radio Shack, Target, every store you can think of sells nav devices.
Contrary to slashdot's ignorant belief, not every person on the planet does everything on their android device. Some of us realize some devices are actually suited for their tasks rather than trying to be a one size fits all solution.
If your CEO is the son of a service person, you'd think he'd know the multitude of reasons why what is being requested is highly illegal.
You guys might run a VPN termination point, but you clearly don't understand your business.
The above fact is exactly why people like you aren't allowed to fuck around anywhere near military operations, you don't know what you're doing nor the consequences of your actions. You do not have DoD certification or even apparently know that its required.
You and your company are in no way qualified to provide service to our active military, you'll end up getting people killed.
Seems unlikely to me that it would be 800 feet off for a 1 second error. 1 light second is considerably further even if the sat was on your visual horizon, which is probably not the sats you are using as they'd have the weakest signal as well. The closer you get to overhead the more the second error would effect you.
It was also fixed by applying a patch that did not require a reboot. So the only hassle was ignorance and not knowing that a simple patch available from MS would fix the problem.
Your example is only 'more hassle' because you don't know what you're doing and instead of taking the normal sane route, you just bitch about it.
Ironically, you talk about patching Linux and rebooting but entirely ignore doing the same on a windows machine. Do your desktops need 24x7 uptime and your servers don't or something?

'Weak similarities argument' ... seriously?

Yea, that'll probably make it sell almost as well as the whole Flash thing did for Android previously.
Of course your fanboyism is making you ignore logic, which says if the fuddy old judge with a whip thinks your samsung isn't cool, than its really fucking lame if an old boring person thinks it sucks.
The problem with your statement is this retarded notion that your phone is a general purpose computer.
You may be able to use it as if it is one, but it isn't. You'll do yourself a world of good if you stop trying to act like it is.

You don't. And listen to your own advice.

I think at this point is pretty clear that they haven't.
They may have been trying, but they certainly weren't accomplishing anything.
You seem to assume that Android users spend as much money as iOS users, which has been proven over and over again to be completely and utterly wrong.
You have a hard time selling shit to people who expect everything for free.

Seriously, you guys are freaking worthless
Just because you think you know everything about the universe and there is nothing left to discover doesn't mean the rest of us are that silly.
P.S. I should mention that, if you think faster-than-light communication will be discovered, that would require such a radically different understanding of our universe as to be astonishing.

Even compressed data has recognizable patterns in it, they just are generally harder to find.

wrong blog post, but it is down. The apple appstore runs on it and it doesnt work.
Bwahhahhaha
Did you seriously just claim the Apple app store runs on Azure? Are you fucking retarded?
Perhaps you mean Amazon.

I'd really, really love to respond by saying that That Just Doesn't Happen. Alas, I know better.
Do you? You really sound like you think Linux is so great that it somehow acts differently than every other engineered item in the known universe.
heh, talk about my stick? Whats that say about you? You bothered to respond to it. Is Jeff Dunham your daddy?
How was afghanistan a long war?
You really need to learn the difference between war and occupation.
Vietnam was the last time we didn't whip their ass over night.
Occupations are ALWAYS long term if you actually expect to make a change in a place that has been killing EVERYONE AROUND THEM FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
