You're like the NASCAR fan who can't understand why their favorite car could never be competitive in Formula 1.
You're focused exclusively on processing speed, you've totally ignored power consumption, display functions, and surrounding support chips. As I said, you don't understand systems, or the difference between raw speed and performance. If Amazon says the OMAP provides better performance, I believe them, since they have to take very much more into account than just MIPS.
Oh, and you've gotten your facts very wrong. The OMAP 4470 is a 4 core processor, and the Tegra is a 5 core processor. The OMAP, in addition to the 2 A9 cores, it has 2 M3 cores, which consume only 32 uW/MHz (a regular A9 core consumes ~300 uW/MHz at its most efficient) . This is very likely why it outperforms the Tegra in this application.
Errors happen. That whole article is about how to get it corrected, so SSNs are unique, as they're supposed to be. An intelligent person would have picked up on that.
"WRONG. SSN + Date of Birth is the unique combination. "
So, you're claiming that there are duplicate SSNs, but held by people with different birth dates? The Social Security Administrations says they're unique.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
People seem confused. The Bill of Rights doesn't give people any rights at all. Those rights exist on their own, independent of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights is only a reminder to the government. That's one reason the "only in a militia" argument regarding the right to arms doesn't apply.
I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed?
So, you (assuming this is the same AC), don't know how to read a legal citation, either. It's simple. That "17 USC 1008" in the OP? The 1008 point to the exact section - no it's not "from the middle-end of the cited material, it is the cited material.
Don't know how to interpret logical constructs, eh?
Really, it's so simple even the idiot you're responding to might be able to learn how.
Start with the full text:
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.
Now, remove the parts we're not interested in (logically separated with "or," we're just choosing which option):
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright... based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such... medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.
Now, look up the definitions:
A "digital musical recording" is a material object
(i) in which are fixed, in a digital recording format, only sounds, and material, statements, or instructions incidental to those fixed sounds,
That would be the CD-R you make.
A "digital audio recording medium" is any material object in a form commonly distributed for use by individuals, that is primarily marketed or most commonly used by consumers for the purpose of making digital audio copied recordings by use of a digital audio recording device.
Now, this is the key - this refers to audio CD-Rs (sometimes called "all purpose"), not the more common data ones. They're a bit harder to find, and a bit more expensive (not much), because the manufacturers pay a tax on them, which ends up going to copyright holders (read the rest of the cited law). This was a law the RIAA pushed for when audio CD recorders first came to market, and the consumer is paying for the ability to make copies while avoiding any problems with copyright.
Maybe a personal crisis, if your government funded livelihood is at risk.
But, there's absolutely nothing in the article which makes a compelling case. The best they can plead is "We can still do useful work here, even though we can't do anything unique."
No. That's the '826 patent, which is different. Prior art/obviousness for that one is that it is an attempt to duplicate the function of a trackball (acceleration, intertia, multiple strokes, etc.).
It doesn't have to. It mentions "scaling," which covers both pinch and spread. Additionally, the other counter-example in the link you provide draws a distinction which may not even exist - between "scroll" and "pan." Where's the definitive, legal, definition which say that scrolling can only be vertical or horizontal? Why can't I scroll diagonally?
There was no promise to pay interest, or adjust for inflation, etc. One can buy a sixpence coin on UK eBay with shipping, for a pound, so you can probably get one for less than that.

You don't understand systems, do you?
A lot of people think assembling something bought at Ikea is "making it."
Good luck eating your sliver of an IOU note.

You don't know how to follow a link, do you?
Not to worry. The whole SS system is going to crash and burn long before then.

- Alexander Hamilton was right.

You can copy the files to audio CDs, completely legally. You can then transfer ownership of those CDs. 17 USC 1008.
Complete sentences and context are your friends.
You must work for the government. Why pay once when you have the opportunity to pay twice!
Maybe a personal crisis, if your government funded livelihood is at risk.
But, there's absolutely nothing in the article which makes a compelling case. The best they can plead is "We can still do useful work here, even though we can't do anything unique."
Whoosh.
So, according to you, one can exclude individual sentences in claims, and therefore invalidate any/all patents at will.
"the resultant end-of-screen bounce (what this patent is really all about)"
Try to follow along. The "bounce" patent is '381, not '915.
If it's not a flying car, I'm not interested.
"They are advocates."
You misspelled "whores." HTH! HAND!
You don't know what exempli gratia means, do you?
FreeBSD, or OpenBSD?
No. That's the '826 patent, which is different. Prior art/obviousness for that one is that it is an attempt to duplicate the function of a trackball (acceleration, intertia, multiple strokes, etc.).
